Goose Fair is set to return to the Forest Recreation Ground for 10 days again this year following the success of 2022. It had been unclear whether the annual event would again be held over an extended period but Nottingham City Council and the Showmen’s Guild have now confirmed the plans for the event later this year.
It will take place between Friday, September 29, to Sunday, October 8. The Showmen’s Guild members attending the fair will now pay a 3% levy on the site fees, to help the event become more sustainable in future years.
The popular event is usually held for five days, however, last year the fair returned for 10 days after a two year absence due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The fair had more than half a million visitors in 2022, which saw an extra 130,000 visitors in comparison to the five-day event in 2019.
