Newcastle City Council and Northumbria Police are working together to ensure that The Hoppings is safe for everyone attending by bringing in extra staff to patrol at the event.
The travelling funfair, which is the largest in Europe, returns today and runs until Sunday the 26th of June, with crowds of around 500,000 visitors expected to attend.
Extra officers will be brought in to provide reassurance to visitors, as well as to deter and prevent any anti-social behaviour that could take place at the Newcastle event.
