Summers in Newcastle just haven't been the same without it for the last two years but soon The Hoppings will be back on Tyneside and we can't wait!
A trip to the legendary funfair has become a rite of passage for many generations of Geordies, so there was great disappointment when the coronavirus pandemic forced it to be cancelled for two years in a row in 2020 and 2021. Organisers had hoped to hold it at a slightly later date than normal last year but plans were thwarted as a question mark still hung over large scale events.
However, it will soon be time for The Hoppings to make its comeback as it arrives back in its usual stomping ground of the Town Moor, where it will take up residence from June 17-25, with organisers promising some new additions for 2022, as well as confirming what rides will be there this year.
