The Hoppings 2010 - Newcastle Upon Tyne


Recommended Posts

The Hoppings on the Town Moor of Newcastle upon Tyne is Europe's largest travelling fairground. Showmen from all over Europe gather for the last 2 weeks of June in the North East of England to show off their latest rides. Traditionally the weather is really bad, however this week has been great and record numbers of visitors have attended.

 

This is a must to come and see. Next time TPR comes to the UK in the last 2 weeks of June you must come and see this and sample the legendary night life in Newcastle.

 

Howay the Lads .....
