Roll up, roll up! It is almost time for Nottingham to welcome back the Goose Fair after a long three years away. Forest Recreation Ground is set to be filled with mushy peas and mint sauce, rollercoasters, cocks on sticks and fun houses.
Goosey the mascot will return to her rightful place on the roundabout on Mansfield Road and showmen will be bringing around 500 stalls and rides. And keeping with tradition, the Nottingham Post will be once again offering vouchers to the historic fair.
The annual extravaganza has been extended from five to ten days to make up for its absence. It will take place from Friday, September 30 to Sunday, October 9. Before Covid the fair attracted around 420,000 visitors from across Nottinghamshire and beyond.
