Starts Wed 1st October, ends Sunday 5th October

Just to note for those travailing to Goose Fair..... if via train / bus, best to pick up the tram to "The Forest" and get an all day £3.50 ticket (There is also a £6 group ticket available, check the 2nd link for info), but please make sure you have a valid ticket, as they are very strict on fair evasion, with a £50 fine if you get caught.

If via car, the main site is suggesting to use Queens Drive Park and Ride (See 1st link for details), which is located not that far from Bell Fruit's HQ (Just over from the back of the QMC, and close to Showcase Cinema), and Wilkinson Street Park and Ride (2nd link) also has the tram depo next door, so is a good option, and is only a few stops away from The Forest / Goose Fair.

Full list of the various Park and Ride sites around Nottingham (Most served by either a Nottingham City Transport bus service, or the tram), but please note The Forest will be closed due to the fair being there.

BTW, recommend you visit the scout hut at the main entrance gates about 1/2 way up Mount Hooton Road (Short walk up the hill from the tram stop), for some fantastic mushy peas

Likely I am not going myself as there are too many dodgy front bottoms about the place, but as you know, I am only just down the road from the place pretty much, and on a 24 / 7 bus route to notts

the fruitys are crap when they come to hull due to them being on 10p stakes only
