Hull Fair update on Sunday opening

THERE HAS LONG BEEN DEBATE IF IT SHOULD BE OPEN

- By CARRINGTON WALKER

HULL Fair organisers have issued an update after a bid was made to break tradition and open Europe's largest travelling funfair on a Sunday.

Based at Walton Street car park in west Hull, the event is attended by visitors from far and wide, offering more than 300 rides and attractions to enjoy.

The fair traditionally runs for eight days this year from Friday, October 10, until the following Saturday (October 18) though efforts have been made to extend this to include Sunday. The event's roots can be traced back more than 740 years.
