goose fair

It was so so disappointing! The rides were (expectedly) massively overpriced and the «big» rides were few and far between! The bumper cars were lots of fun if you go with your friends, but at about £5 for a minute of driving I wouldn’t say it was worth it!
The atmosphere was amazing though, it generally is at the fair for me, the lights in the evening, the sound of the carousel, the rides and the smell of sickly sweet candy floss and chocolate makes me feel so happy.
I wouldn’t recommend it above going to an actual theme park if you are a thrill junkie like myself. The rides don’t really cut it. But if you happen to be in Nottingham and want to experience the famous (i have no idea why) Goose Fair, then it’s a good night out.
Better for children i’d think with all the small flying elephant rides.

Great night out. Feel a bit sick after though and the rides don’t feel all that safe which makes it more fun. No endless queues like Alton Towers! Get yourself there!

An amazing fair that comes every year around october. entertainment for the whole family. with kiddie rides at £1 and adult thrills at £2.50! great community atmosphere! check it out this year don’t miss out

goose fair originally was for selling the goose for christmas but now its all rides it vey nice to good but rides can work out pricey.

This is a great fair to go to if you live around the area of notttingham as there is a hudge slection of rides for all adges and also food drink. Evan if you dont like rides than it is still a great place to go to as the stmosphere there is great !! The food is also realy yummy and i love getting mushy peas when i go. The fair is on every year in october sometime and lasts for a few days. It does get busy on there and you do get pushed around which i did not like. If you have not bean there befor a would recomend getting a map to show you were it is, as the first time i went there i could not find it evan though it is so big. overall i think this is a great family day/​night out and would recomend it for all adges.

I went to this one time and I’ve gotta say I wasn’t that impressed. It was ok, the rides were pretty average though, some of them looked like death traps really. Also there was a very large chav population, I wouldn’t really recommend going at night unless there’s a big group of you, and keep an eye on your wallet at all times.
Saying this it does seem to be crowded, parking there is a bit of a nightmare so unless you know a little side street with some parking expect to have to park a long way away.
Traditional travelling fair really, carnies trying to grab your money, overpriced rides, lots of candyfloss, a different day out for once but I guess I’m not really a fan of fairs in general, if you are give it a go!

If you’ve grown up in Nottingham, you will have been taught that this is the biggest and most famous fair in the world (though I’ve yet to meet anyone outside Nottingham who has actually heard of it!) Nevertheless, the Goose Fair is a local legend, a huge sprawling noisy mass of screaming, music, whirring lights and fair-​ground madness all impregnanted with the heady perfume of candy-​floss and doughnuts and shouts of ‘do you wanna go faster?!’ Go at night if you dare (seriously, be careful!)

Its a great place to go! rides and a great atmosphere! Its somewhere to go for the whole family to enjoy. some of the rides are great but some are over rated and a bit lame. I go every year and of course one of the best things about any fair is. the candyfloss!

Its dirty, its crowded, its noisy, its quite possibly dangerous, and its absolutely fantastic! Held in the first week of October every year, the Goose Fair is Europe’s biggest travelling fair, and I feel quite upset that I managed to miss it this year, but every time I attend I always have a massively enjoyably good time! The atmosphere is fantastic, the smells and noises only add to it. The fair is also well placed for the tram network, allowing easy access, and making it easier to park. I would recommend that everyone in the local area go to the fair at least once, its always an enjoyable event!

its on once a year first week in october and if your passing through nottingham city you can’t miss it it’s huge, it’s a very big pair with every ride you can think of and more! the atmosphere is great at night but if you do go during this time just beware!

I have been going to Goose Fair for years now. It’s the biggest fair I have been to and is on every October. The atmosphere is great and I will continue to go every year. Rides aren’t as expensive as people make out. It is nice to see all the lights. There are a lot of side stalls with prizes to be won. There are also a lot of food stalls. It becomes a tradition to go to this travelling fair that has been running for over 700 years.

Would just like to point out that the date above (Tue, Nov 4^th) Is incorrect. It is always the first week in October starting on a Wednesday and fnishing on a Saturday. Rule of thumb is the earlier you go in the week the cheaper it is, as each day the prices of the rides increase. However the better atmosphere is on a Friday or Saturday because more people attend on those days. I go to soak up the atmosphere and the smells of the fair and of course all that bad for you candyfloss and lovely hot donuts. Yum

Oh had a great time, I had not been since I was really small, everyone said it would be really expensive but it wasnt.
Great for a day out, shame its not permanent, cant wait for next year!

a great day out for the whole family if you want to go on everything to just looking around it is a great day out and i would recomend it to ride lovers. the atmosphere is great and the people who run the place are really nice.
