It may affect parking for football fans and shoppers on the weekends
A city centre car park will close for over two weeks for a fair. John Thurston and Son’s Mart Fair returns to Peterborough city centre on Thursday, March 19, and runs until Sunday, March 29.
The fair will be held at the Pleasure Fair Meadow car park. There will be over 100 rides on offer at the fair, providing lots of fun for all ages.
