Crowds will be heading to The Hoppings from Friday as the summer funfair welcomes back families for the first time since 2019.
Recent days have seen huge rides and sideshows installed on Newcastle Town Moor as the world's largest travelling fair sets up in readiness for its nine-day run. And from midday on June 17 families and friends from across the North East will be flocking to share in the fun.
With The Hoppings having been cancelled for the past two years due to the pandemic, its comeback is set to prove more popular than ever. The layout of rides - ranging from those for tots to adrenaline thrills for daredevils - as well as other attractions, including food stalls and traditional fairground games, always ensures there is broad appeal for all ages.
