We’ve loved Hull Fair ever since we were kids, so the news of its return this year has us excited! There is nothing better than chowing down on some cotton candy, or playing some of the fair games like hook-a-duck. It seems we aren’t the only ones that are excited for Hull Fair 2023 return this October.
One of the oldest running and largest fairs in Europe, Hull Fair, announced via Facebook that it will be returning on Friday 6th October. The iconic fair will have all the usual attractions and rides such as fun houses, sweet stalls, burger vans, helter skelters and mini versions of roller coasters and waltzers.
Expect over 250 rides and attractions old and new from one of the biggest travelling fairs in Europe. Hull is recorded as the oldest fair having records that go back more than 700 years ago to 1278.
In fact, it is now in its 729th year and is the largest travelling fair in Europe that sees hundreds of thousands of people descend upon it each year. In 2019 over 800,000 people visited the fair.
And as the nights draw in, it won’t be long until Hull’s Walton Street is once moor flooded with dazzling lights, smells of fried onions and tunes pumping out from the fairground rides.
New rides including this year are Toxic, Is an outward facing freakout-style ride, and Abie Danters Air, the beast of a machine spins rider 98ft in the air, its an iconic ride at any fairground! That’s not all, Hull Fair 2023 offers a ride not seen on Walton Street in over a decade! Confirmed for 2023 Hackett’s Funfairs Top Spin, spinning thrill-seekers 54ft in the air.
