Today Nottingham Goose Fair takes always place on the first week in October. There are many rides and attractions. If you like fast rides you can take 'The Spider'. Even faster than that is the rollercoaster with two loopings. Parents with small hildren can go to the 'Carousel'. This roundabout turns more slowly but is great fun.
