Goosey
Until Sun 4 October
*Old Market Square*
________________________________________________________________________
Goosey the Goose Fair goose has flown into Old Market Square and is urging people to come along to say hello!
The eight-foot figure is the emblem of Nottinghams famous annual event, which had to be cancelled last month because of Covid-related social-distancing restrictions.
She usually announces that Nottinghams longest-running and most popular event is under way by taking pride of place on whats known locally as Goose Fair Roundabout in Mansfield Road, close to the Goose Fair site on The Forest Recreation Ground.
It would have been the 729thGoose Fair and is only the ninth time in history it has been called off, including in 1646 due to the Bubonic Plague and during the First and Second World Wars.
However, Goosey didnt want 2020 to pass without at least a nod to what Nottingham people would normally be looking forward to at this time of year.
Goosey will sit proudly atop her specially-made plinth until Sunday and shes hoping to meet as many people as possible in the coming days.
Members of the public are invited adhering to social distancing to visit Old Market Square to see her and pose for a selfie. These can then be uploaded on to social media with the hashtags #Honk and #IMetGoosey.

October is Black History Month where we celebrate the contribution, history and culture of black people in the UK
We can relate to our collective history all year round, however Black History Month helps us all to focus on important contributions that perhaps in years gone by were not fully recognised and given the degree of prominence that they should have been.
There is a great range of events taking place across the city for people to take part in.
