Must be 15 years since Iv been . Doubt if I will go again . Must cost those with a young family a bloody fortune. Best event this weekend is Pickering 1940's / ww2 weekend well worth a trip out and free .

Just had a browse, looks good. Can you just rock up to it or is it solely for the weekend campers?

Interestingly - well mildly - there are posters all over Leeds advertising it this year. I've lived here 15 years and never seen that before.

I was in Huddersfield after the Man City game a couple of weeks ago and there were posters all over town there too advertising it which I never saw in the years I lived there.

I'll probably go for a wander round on a dinner time and get some food from one of the stalls. I've not been on a night since I was 16 and don't expect that to change this year.

Have you been to Blackpool recently?

Because Hull Fair is certainly not in essence Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

I have been many times.
Once again I didn't say it was literally like Blackpool pleasure beach rocking up as that would be impossible. That was why I didn't use that word.

I agree Filey, a great day out & run in conjunction with the North Yorks Moors Railway, with stations along it's route decked out like the 1940's, just a shame it is no longer continued at the Whitby end of the line

You'll look like a time traveller from the future in your 70's garb....
 
Whitby goth weekends also worth a visit at the end of the month..

I use to love Hull Fair when I was a nipper .

But far to expensive nowadays

Just roll up. Though it is packed. There are also displays at the other stations along the line. Give me steam engines over Hull Fair anytime.
Worth looking at Grosmont as well. Meaningless to Grandson that Heartbeat was filmed there but being told the police car he was stood next to was the one used in Harry Potter perked his interest up.

The police car was at the garage in Goathland which was used in the Heartbeat series when we visited in May of this year. It has Aidensfield garage on the sliding doors and Scripp's Funeral Services sign above. The owner also has several old Manx Nortons that they still race. Plus the garage is loaded with old memorabilia.
 
What a waste of money the rides are. Nothing does anything.

Will have a walk round for the brandy snap and the like. Not to mention a Carvers grease fest.
 
Used to love the smell & taste of roast chestnuts they used to make on those portable trolley's that carried the coke fired grills. Do they still have 'em at the Fair ?
All the modern hits blasting out over the amps on the rides - especially the "walzers". Spent the summer of '63 working at Brown's Amusements in Brid just to absorb the music they used to play all day long...time when I couldn't really afford to buy more than one 45 record a month. Great memories - lots of birds from all over Yorkshire. Staying away from home was heaven.
 
Some reet miserable ****ers on here. Its still great, i just dont go on many of the rides anymore. Mainly cos i dont trust the pikey ****ers with a wrench. But its great and its great to see the faces of the young kids.

Needs to be moved somewhere else like....

ill hold a sign with your name
 
Hull City AFC (DMD)
With a hippy hat on, I struggle with the engineering and expense of these things, when so much of the world is struggling to have basic facilities.

basic facility being a fifty quid ticket for ull v man city
 
The shamrocks are at Pickering steam fair / rally every August, along with the wall off death and hundreds of classic vehicles steam engines etc.
Another great weekend
