The Hoppings looks set to accept contactless payments for rides this year, in a big break for tradition for the famous funfair.
There was great disappointment in 2020 when it was confirmed that the coronavirus pandemic had thwarted plans for the fair to take up residence at the Town Moor that year, as it had done for decades before. Hopes were high that there would be an event last year, with plans made for an autumn Hoppings but, sadly that was also cancelled.
That means that when The Hoppings does finally return to the Moor on Friday, June 17, it will be for the first time in three years. Over the past few weeks, The Hoppings rides have been confirmed for this year, as well as what's new for this year and The Hoppings opening times.
