Hull Fair Thrives on Opening Night with Joyful Crowds

The first full day of the Hull Fair has welcomed enthusiastic crowds, bringing joy and excitement to the city of Hull. The fair, which opened its doors at noon on October 7, 2023, is set to run until 23:00 tonight, following a bustling opening night on Friday that saw a surge in attendance. Organisers noted that this year’s opening is possibly one of the busiest in recent memory.

As the fair continues, visitors can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with funfair rides, games, and food stalls. The larger rides are scheduled to open slightly later, between 13:00 and 14:00. A spokesperson for the fair expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “What an incredible start to the week.”

Travel and Safety Information

Attendees are advised to be mindful of ongoing road closures affecting the city centre, particularly for those traveling from east to west. Special bus services are being provided by East Yorkshire and Stagecoach to accommodate fairgoers.

For families attending, Humberside Police has issued safety recommendations. Authorities suggest taking an up-to-date photo of children in the party, making it easier to identify their clothing in case anyone gets lost. Additionally, it is recommended to write down a mobile number and secure it in a pocket for easy access if needed. The police are stationed throughout the fair to ensure the safety of all attendees.

As the fair continues into the evening, the joyful spirit of the community is evident, and attendees are encouraged to enjoy the festivities while remaining aware of their surroundings and following safety guidelines.
