All the fun of Nottingham's biggest and best-loved fair is back with double the thrills and spills, the aroma of mushy peas and mint sauce filling the air, and Goosey, the Goose Fair mascot, back in her rightful spot. It has been three years ago since the city's famous Goose Fair last took place due to the pandemic but it will return with a bang.
The annual extravaganza at Forest Recreation Ground has been extended from five to ten days to make up for its absence over the last two years. It will take place from Friday September 30 to Sunday October 9. Before Covid the fair attracted around 420,000 visitors.
Dating back more than 720 years the free-entry travelling fair will bring around 500 rides and stalls to Nottingham. There will be something for all ages, from scream-inducing rollercoasters to more genteel toddler roundabouts.
