Frank Johnson 24 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Does Nottingham still host the "Goose Fair"? As a kid I used to "clear up" with my mates when the fair had gone. We used to roam the Forest site for coins people had dropped. You'd be amazed at the "treasure" we collected, only to spend it at a shop on Berridge Rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,593 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yes the fairs still a big event, Like you spent many a Sunday morning grubbing for coins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
