Like many things the "Hoppings" has had it's golden era and that being the fifties and sixties it boasts that it is the largest "traveling" fair the world whether that is still true I'm not sure but if you walk from one end to the other and back you've covered over a mile in distance.

Alas it's all over now rain stopped play. They should have changed the fortnight to avoid our annual summer moonson season perhaps the council had objections to this idea or wanted more money.
