Goose Fair

Prepare for high-flying thrills and a sea of neon lights at the legendary Nottingham Goose Fair. As one of Europe’s largest and most historic travelling funfairs, this massive annual celebration transforms the Forest Recreation Ground into a ten-day carnival of pure adrenaline and nostalgia. Dating back over 700 years, the event no longer deals in actual geese but instead delivers over 250 attractions ranging from pulse-pounding white-knuckle coasters to classic carousels. Visitors can brave the towering drop rides, soak up panoramic city views from the giant wheels, and dig into traditional regional delicacies like minty mushy peas or the iconic Cock-on-a-Stick candy. It is a vibrant, action-packed extravaganza that brings the whole community together for unforgettable thrills and entertainment.
