From sampling the brandy snaps to winning teddy bears - fair-goers have been speaking out about why they love the popular event so much. Thousands will be descending on the Forest Recreation Ground for the return of Goose Fair, which will continue until Sunday (October 9) after getting underway on Friday, October 30.
Grey weather for the first night of the festival failed to dent the spirits of those attending, and brighter weather has blessed the rest of the fair's first weekend. Those enjoying Goose Fair on Sunday (October 2) shared some of the reasons behind their love for the event.
After visiting the fair for an hour, Holly France, 24, and David Everitt, 31, had managed to win 10 teddy bears at a number of stalls. Holly said: "The best thing is being able to walk around, it's accessible.
