Nottingham Express Transit : Pictures : Goose Fair 2005
Nottingham's annual Goose Fair, the largest in the country, is held on open space next to The Forest tram stop. Part of the fair occupies the car park—the tram stop is open as usual but the Park & Ride operation ceases whiles the fair is held. NET lays on extra trams to deal with fairgoers.
These pictures are from the 2005 fair, open from 5th–9th October. Click here for pictures from the 2004 Goose Fair.
