Last updated 25th Jun 2021
Fair-goers are expressing their delight after Hull Fair announced that the event will be returning in October this year - after cancelling last year's due to the pandemic.
It's set to take place between Friday 8 October - Saturday 16 October (currently excluding Sunday 10).
The travelling fair made the announcement on their Facebook page after Hull City Council opened up applications for ride operators and street vendors, but warned the decision is reversible.
In a statement the council said:
"In view of the published four-step roadmap announced by the Government to loosen Covid-19 restrictions in which specific dates where given we are hoping that Hull Fair 2021 will go ahead however there is a danger that the timetable may slip, and therefore any steps for planning the fair will need to be reversible at all stages.
As Hull Fair takes months of planning, we have begun planning for Hull Fair 2021 which we hope will be time well spent. Application forms to attend this years Hull Fair are now available but please note that this does not guarantee that the fair will go ahead.
