A brief history of the fair from an old Nottingham City Council ‘Nottingham Goose Fair’ leaflet, written around 1988 by Carl Piggins of the Public Relations Office.

@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialThe #GreatCheeseRiot began in #Nottingham on #ThisDayInHistory in 1766. Women angry at overpriced #cheese at the annual #GooseFair stole wheels of it. When some were arrested, the building holding them was attacked. Soldiers were then used to suppress the #anticapitalist revolt.
@nickraine.bsky.socialIt’s the most wonderful time of year in #Nottingham! #GooseFair #CocksOnSticks #MintedPeas

@sitmeastmidlands.bsky.social🎡It’s back, East Midlanders. The bright lights, questionable financial decisions and enough doughnuts to feed a small village.

Goosey the Goose Fair goose has taken up its perch on the Mansfield Road roundabout once again, announcing the return of one of the largest travelling funfairs in Europe later this month.
