Crowds continue to flock to Millfield as funfair remains in city for one more weekend

Peterborough Cherry Fair was opened in the city on Friday by Mayor Alan Dowson and Mayoress Shabina Qayyum.

The fair, which has been running for many years, returned to the city and will be in place at The Millfield, Lincoln Road until Sunday (June 19).

The fair is being hosted by John Thurston and Sons, who also host the Peterborough Mart Fair, Bretton Park Fair and the Bridge Fair.

The fair usually takes place on the Embankment but had to be moved this year due to the pop concerts being held there.

This has allowed the fair to visit Millfield for the first time since 1999.
