Can you spot yourself or someone you know in our Goose Fair gallery from 2017?

Having been staged annually in Nottingham since at least 1284, the Goose Fair is one of the highlights in the city’s calendar. 

Each October, the Forest Recreation Ground is illuminated by more than 250 rides and attractions, with hundreds of thousands of people in attendance. 

Over the years, the event has grown to become one of the largest travelling funfairs in Europe. 

It’s thought that the Goose Fair name is linked to the event’s early years when live animals were sold. 

Traders from across the country, particularly Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, would bring their geese to Nottingham to be sold. 

With this, the Goose Fair earned its iconic name. 

Although dates for this year’s event have not been confirmed, we thought we’d take a trip down memory lane by digging out some old photos. 

Below you’ll find a few photos from the Goose Fair in 2017. 

Let us know if you spot yourself or anyone you know!
