 Goose Fair returns this autumn
 Fri 29 September - Sun 8 October
Forest Recreation Ground
The nights are drawing in and there's a chill in the air which can mean only one thing - it's almost time for Goose Fair!
With more than 250 rides and attractions and thrills aplenty for all ages, Goose Fair is one of the largest travelling funfairs in Europe and has been staged annually in Nottingham since at least 1284.
New rides this year include the TipTop and Xcelerator, as well as lots of returning favourites such as Reverse Bungee, Ice Jet Matterhorn, Star Flyer, The Skid, Gallopers, Cake Walk and two giant wheels. You can also enjoy traditional fairground cuisine like mushy peas and Cock-on-a-Stick, as well as a range of world food from Greek and Caribbean to Panjabi.
Money-off ride e-vouchers are now available to download for just ÂŁ1, allowing you to save 50p on participating rides and attractions from Monday to Friday (not valid on Saturday or Sunday). Vouchers can also be found in special editions of the Nottingham Post, Derby Telegraph and other regional newspapers soon.
