The Archbishop of York, the Most Rev Stephen Cottrell, joined the Bishop of Carlisle, the Rt Rev James Newcome, at the Appleby Horse Fair for the launch of a Gypsy Roma Traveller Friendly Churches initiative.

They later toured other parts of the county, including calling in at Crosby Ravensworth CE Primary, the Junction 38 Truck Stop and Tebay Services on the M6 to explore its partnership with the mental health charity Growing Well, before a final stop at St Michael's church in Shap.
