Fair review
Last Wednesday, D and I went to the North Pole (the less well-known one, in Cambridge on Parkers Piece). It was pretty quiet but most of the rides were happy to run with only 2-3 people on. They have a carousel, which we got to ourselves! :-) As usual there's an ice rink and there are apparently also Christmas stalls but they were all shut up when we went.
There's a pretty nice bar, serving mulled wine/hot spiced cider + spirits, among other things. The food is not as good as last year, though if you eat pig or turkey they do a pretty mean roast dinner in a giant Yorkshire pudding for a very reasonable price. Not a lot for vegetarians, though there is a crepe stand IIRC.
(In great cycling improvement news, the ice rink is inside the fair compound, and not in its usual position right next to the path across PP, making it much nicer to cycle past.)
