The History of the Hoppings

[@melonycrumpet]

I’m 47 now and when I was a child it always rained when the hoppings were in town!

[@joycejnn]

The Hoppings were originally in Jesmond Vale , near Vale house

Gosh, I'd never heard of this, although I spent my childhood in Doncaster (not very close, I admit). We have the same funfair every year in Munich, where one has no difficulty in enjoying the odd jar or two of beer on the side.

Mate Dusseldorf, Herne, Tilburg, Munchen are way bigger than that

You’re probably right, but it’s the way The Hoppings markets itself. Hence my use of the term
