Could the Fair Move to a Different Location?

The Cuckoo Fair would need two large fields – one for the main car park and one for the actual Fair. This proposal is attractive as the Fair would not require the closure of The Borough which we recognise some residents who live there (and some who don’t live there) object to. We could also look at introducing ticketing which would transform the finances and thus the attractions at the Fair.

A possible downside is that venues located in The Borough would lose out on the significantly increased trade they have due to having about 18,000 visitors on their door-step. In a new secure ticketed location we could also consider a multi-day Fair and new attractions / features. Whatever new location was found it would have to be a permanent home.
