What's new at The Hoppings this June? Newcastle fair returns this week with extra attractions

For generations of families June has meant The Hoppings. On lots of occasions it has meant rain and mud too but our unreliable summer weather has never spoiled the fun of a visit to Europe's largest travelling funfair.

We don't take kindly to cancellations so when The Hoppings, under new managers in Crow Events, made its return following the pandemic, crowds turned out to welcome it with open arms They also noticed a few changes too.

Last summer's run on the Town Moor saw the company out to make the traditional treat better than ever. It announced new rides, including a newly-designed one called Super Trooper and introduced a bar for the first time plus a big food court. This time around, Crow Events has said it is bringing some of the “biggest, fastest and wildest rides” around - so check those out below - and it will be back for a day longer than usual.
