With the stage almost set, the biggest fair in Europe soon will be welcoming crowds of thrill-seekers to the Town Moor in Newcastle and it is gearing up to be an event to remember.
The Hoppings will open on Friday for a 10-day run - a day longer than normal - with a list of attractions guaranteed to please, with additions such as live nightly music and more food outlets on top of its huge range of rides. The Town Moor site will include traditional favourites, including merry-go-rounds for the very young; dodgems, ghost train, waltzer and carousel, as well as the high-flying daredevil attractions.
Crow Events, the fairground operators who have taken over management of The Hoppings, have revealed that many favourites from last year will be back during the June 16-25 run, alongside the music, bar and a bigger food court, while there will be plenty new rides too. It has announced its full line-up of 42 rides here.
