Hull Fair is one of the biggest travelling fairs in Europe. Now in its 731st year, it was once a front line for "freak shows" but is now popular with social media influencers.
It originated when King Edward I acquired Hull in 1293 and ordered there to be an annual six-week fair to be held from 25 May until 6 July.
However, it was not a fun fair. Rather it started as a big market, selling cloth and manufactured goods, attracting people from all over the north of Europe.
But it wasn't long until the fair - enshrined in the city's 1299 charter - shifted its focus to entertainment and amusement.
Once the stalls had closed and trades were done, locals and those from further afield wanted to be entertained.
