It's that time of the year again when Hull Fair comes to town for 8 days. This traditional travelling fair is one of the largest in Europe and has been coming to Hull for over 700 years. It was opened this year by the Lord Mayor Sean Chaytor and first opened in 1278AD. You can read all about the history of the fair here.
There's an abundance of food stalls where you can get anything from hotdogs, burgers, kebabs, noodles and the famous "Bob Carvers" Chips. Over the past few years there's even steak sandwiches, cajun chicken, wraps, and tortilla's.
For those with a sweet tooth they are sweet stalls for your Wrights Brandysnap, Candyfloss, Toffee Apples, Cinder Toffee and fudges. There's even chocolate fountains, cakes and muffins.
The classics such as roasted chestnuts are still around and don't forget to visit a Fortune Teller!
This year there are about 300 rides, ranging from children's rides like Carousels, Mini Trains, The Caterpillar, Teacups and Ghost Trains to extreme rides like the Walzers, Bomber, Star Flyer, Superbob, Hopper and Bungy Ball.
For game lovers take your pick from 115 game stalls like Bingo, Hook-a-Duck, Penalty Shoot Out, Darts and Rifle games where you can win giant cuddly toys and other prizes.
