The Hoppings announces longer Newcastle run and some of Europe's 'biggest, fastest and wildest' rides

Bigger, better and longer is the message for this year from The Hoppings' organisers who are already preparing for the summer return of the much-loved funfair, along with its Feast Street food court, live music and bar.

The family favourite will be back on the Town Moor in Newcastle this June for an extended run and families can expect even more thrills than usual at what is Europe's biggest travelling fair. Crow Events, which manages it, is promising some of the “biggest, fastest and wildest rides” around.

The fairground operator took over the management of The Hoppings from The Freemen of Newcastle and last delivered a nine-day epic event as thousands of families turned out to welcome it back for the first time since Covid. And, when this summer's visit gets under way on June 16, regulars and adrenaline-junkies will find there are plenty new treats in store.
