"I visited several fairs this year with my family including Hull fair (which always claims to be bigger than Nottingham’s). Goose fair was brilliant this year; we went earlier than usual, during the day on the Saturday. It is great to be able to park safely and go on the Tram, my young kids always view this as one of the rides, plus I don‘t miss the walk back through the streets in the dark, carrying prizes and children looking for the car.Took this picture from the top of the Giant Wheel: What a view."

Review title : 2008 Goose Fair, added by : Rob (07/10/2008)

Event reviewed : Goose Fair

"Hook-a-Duck, Helter-Skelter, hot dogs and candyfloss; all the old favourites were there for the 2008 Goose Fair, ensuring something for everyone from 1 to 101! Running for over 700 years in Nottingham the fair is a chance for young and old to come together and experience the bright lights, rides (and food) that combine to make the event so special - a good night had by all."

Review title : Hot dogs at the fair, added by : Mike (06/10/2008)

Event reviewed : Goose Fair

"This years Goose Fair was a delight, we went on Friday at 7pm so we could get the most from the Lights and feel the atmosphere! This is the first year that my son could really understand and enjoy the whole thing and he loved it!You cannot beat Nottingham for a fairground visit, parking at Wilkinson Street and getting the tram to and from the fair not only extends the night: it is like an extra ride (but cheaper than the dodgems!) and everyone is excited and great fun.It feels safe and clean and I would recommend the Goose fair to everyone."
