Goose Fair 2016 - Nottingham
For those have missed Nottingham Goose Fair 2016, here is a little video which covers both day and night. Its been a wonderful fun fair with lots of rides and street food. A good day out for my little one.
History:
The Nottingham Goose Fair is an annual travelling funfair held at the Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham, England, during the first week of October
It is one of only three established fairs in the United Kingdom to carry the name, the others being the smaller Goosey Fair in Tavistock, Devon, and the even smaller Michaelmas Goose Fayre in Colyford in East Devon. In the 1400s geese were sold by huntsmen to local villagers in the forest grounds.
The Goose Fair started as a trade event and enjoyed a reputation for its high-quality cheese, although it is now known for its rides and games. Its name is derived from the thousands of geese that were driven from Lincolnshire to be sold in Nottingham.
