It got off to a damp and soggy start
opened up at 4pm on Friday . The conditions weren't what the organisers would have wanted - but despite the heavy rainfall newcomers to the fair cherished every moment.. The fair will enjoy the longest run in its history to make up for its absence in 2020-2021. It will be on-site for 10 days until Sunday, October 9.
William Percival, chairman of the Nottinghamshire Showmen's Guild, said:"It is good to be back. There's a big buzz going around. It seems to be as good a fair as it's ever been. There's a lot of new attractions so we are looking forward to a good ten days if possible."Everybody seems excited seeing people they haven't seen for three years as it's a meeting place for showmen as well.
"A lot of people are expecting the prices to be expensive but we are not stupid. We know there is a shortage of money and the prices will reflect that.
