27th September - 6th October

Enjoy all the fun of the fair at the Forest Recreation Ground this autumn, as Goose Fair returns from Friday 27 September to Sunday 6 October.

With more than 350 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.

Our frequent Brown, Lime, Yellow and Purple Line buses all stop alongside Goose Fair at the Forest Recreation Ground stop. In the City Centre, board these buses on Parliament Street or Milton Street.
