this small fun fair on the edge of the forest offers a distraction for children.
There has been an annual Fair in Edwinstowe since 1381! A Royal Charter granted that this yearly event be held on the Vigil and Day of Saint Eadwin, which was around 24th October. A toll was paid to the church.
Today, the fair is managed by the Turvill family, who have had associations with this fair for over 2 centuries!
Rides such as a ghost train and mini dodgems, as well as traditional "Hook A Duck" and penny arcade. Hot dog stall too.
Near the entrance are 2 boards with painted pics of Robin Hood and Maid Marion, with holes cut out, for you to place your head for a photo!
The Fair usually arrives around Easter, then packs up at the end of September, and travels to the annual Goose Fair in Nottingham, which is held, as it has been for centuries, on the 1st weekend in October. This is one of the largest Fairs in the country, and is a must see! As well as rides, there are food stalls, fortune tellers, guess your age entertainers, plus lots more. Bags of atmosphere!
