Goose Fair 2025: Dates for Nottingham’s Goose Fair 2025 confirmed as ‘more details’ promised soon
The event will once again be returning for 10 days
Nottingham’s famous Goose Fair will once again return for 10 days later this year, with organisers now having confirmed the dates for the popular event.
Returning to the Forest Recreation Ground between Friday, September 26 and Sunday, October 5, the fair is once again set to attract hundreds of thousands of people to the city centre.
In a statement, organisers said: “The dates for Nottingham’s world famous Goose Fair are confirmed for 2025!
“Once again Nottingham Goose Fair will be open for 10 days, opening on Friday 26th September! More details to follow later in the year.”
Despite the tram strike on the first day of the fair, and torrential rain mid-week, Goose Fair welcomed 493,200 visitors across the ten days last year.
It’s estimated that £1.2 million was spent on transport, £2.9 million on food and drink, and £5.9 million on rides and attractions.
With more than 250 rides and attractions and thrills aplenty for all ages, Goose Fair is one of the largest travelling funfairs in Europe and has been staged annually in Nottingham since at least 1284.
