The sun is in the sky as The Hoppings makes its return to Newcastle this weekend, with a huge crowd expected to flock to the Town Moor over the first few days of this year's event.
Always a massive draw for locals and visitors to the city alike, The Hoppings has been part of Geordie culture for well over 100 years now, with its cancellation for two successive years, due to the Covid pandemic, coming as a huge blow to fair goers and all those involved with Europe's largest travelling funfair.
he Hoppings ride list for this year includes white knuckle favourites like the Magic Mouse, Freak Out and Atmosfear and Air, together with traditional go-tos, like waltzers, dodgems and a ghost train and a brand new addition Rocket Ride. The Hoppings food offerings are also plentiful this year, with, Redheads Mac 'n' Cheese, traditional fish and chips and the Big Fat Indian Kitchen among the vendors setting out their stall for 2023.
