Goose Fair by Nixter01
Goose Fair is one of Europes largest travelling fairs with more than 150 rides and games and stalls. It starts on a wednesday and goes through to the saturday night finishing at 11:30pm.Nobody really knows how it got its name other than folk used to bring Geese from Lincolnshire and Norfolk to sell here ready for fattening up for xmas. The fair then started yrs later and its original site was on the Old Market Sq but later came here to the Forest Recreation Ground at the turn of the century.
When its due to open on the wednesday the Lord Mayor rings 2 silver bells to declare it officially open !
