Members of the travelling community sell and race ponies and horses at the fun fair that sees people line the streets.
Wickham Horse Fair has been held in the village for almost 800 years with Fareham Road (A334) and The Square closed off as a result and motorists urged to keep clear from the area if they are not participating or spectating in the fair.
See archive pictures of the fair from over the years below.
