The Hoppings: Newcastle’s Town Moor Fair by Paul Lanagan is a vivid and richly illustrated celebration of one of the North East’s most enduring and spectacular traditions. Tracing the fair from its beginnings in 1882 as a Temperance Festival to the great modern event it has become, this engaging book captures the colour, energy and excitement of a Tyneside institution often regarded as one of Europe’s largest travelling fairgrounds. With hundreds of photographs spanning Victorian steam machines to today’s towering thrill rides, and with a revealing look at the showmen and behind-the-scenes work that bring the fair to life, it offers both a fascinating history and a heartfelt tribute to the people, spectacle and community spirit at the heart of The Hoppings.
