Hull Fair 2009 will be held on the Walton Street site from Friday 9 to Saturday 17 October (excluding Sunday 11 October).
The two best things in Hull, the children will tell you, are Christmas and the annual fair held in the second week of October for eight days. Hull Fair celebrated its seven hundredth anniversary in 1993 and is the largest travelling fair in Europe.
The fair is held on a 16-acre site and involves over 250 attractions ranging from children's rides, side stalls, traditional rides and the latest up to date white-knuckle rides.
Stalls down Walton Street are filled with the sights and smells of traditional fairground food from hamburgers and hot dogs to candy floss, toffee apples, pomegranates and even hog roast. Whilst down Walton Street you can also have your palm read by one of the many palmists.
The last century has seen many changes at Hull Fair with each year bringing new and wondrous delights. Fashions come and go on the fairground with the showpeople keeping one step ahead of their competitors and vying with each other to bring the latest attraction to the October fair. But as Hull Fair returns every year, the same thing is true now as it was hundreds of years ago - the people of Hull look forward to the fair long before it arrives.
