The Hoppings is taking shape for its first fair on Newcastle Town Moor since 2019

It's been three years, but the Hoppings is nearly back.

The familiar summer sight of funfair rides taking shape on Newcastle's Town Moor returned today for the first time since 2019. The Hoppings has a new operator, Crow Events, who pledge to bring some of Europe's “biggest, fastest and wildest rides” to Newcastle's annual fair, along with street food, a bar and a new payment system.

Operators are busy setting up rides and stalls ahead of the 2022 Hoppings opening on Friday June 17. By then, more than 450 attractions will be open at the fair.
