Which century?
"after the turn of the century it was increased again to four days" Rich Farmbrough, 15:00 12 September 2006 (GMT).

WW2
According to the Nottingham Journal 5 August 1943 the fair was held that year but in August. --palmiped &#124; Talk  15:04, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it seems you're right, a daylight-only Goose Fair was held at least twice during WW2. I'll look into it further. Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:15, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you have access to the Nottingham Journal? There's evidence the 1943 one was held in July not August. Rodney Baggins (talk) 09:16, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I no longer have a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive but it is possible to search, 1943 Goose Fair opened on 31 July 1943 Search results see 2nd and 11th result fair closed for four years 1939 to 1942 inc. --palmiped &#124; Talk  11:08, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Date Correction
The short story "Goose Fair" by D.H. Lawrence was published in THE ENGLISH REVIEW in February 1910 67.70.57.57 (talk) 18:14, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I think you might be right. It's selling on ebay.  And, to be fair, I can't find any actual evidence that it was "first published in 1914". Rodney Baggins (talk) 10:03, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Found it in The Prussian Officer and Other Stories so I will alter accordingly. Thanks for the info! Rodney Baggins (talk) 10:16, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
