It is recommended that people use the many bus services to get to and from Goose Fair instead of using the reduced tram service.

A special Eventlink bus runs every 6-7 minutes from Queen's Drive Park & Ride. On Saturday services will run from 12pm to 11:45pm.

Nottingham City Transport (NCT) buses operate every 2-5 minutes during the daytime and up to every 7-8 minutes in the evenings between the city centre and Mansfield Road Forest Gate.

For Goose Fair use:

-     Brown Line services 15, 16, 17 from Milton Street (outside Waitrose)

-     Lime line services 56, 58, 59 from Upper Parliament Street (outside Spa)

-     Yellow Line services 68, 69, 70, 71, 72 from Milton Street (outside TK Maxx)

-     Purple Line 87, 88, 89 from Parliament Street (near Burger King).

With the Group Rider ticket at £6, up to 5 people (minimum 1 adult, maximum 2 adults) can travel all day on any NCT bus. The normal 9:45pm restriction on children's fares will also be removed during Goose Fair.

Hyson Green is served by the daytime Yourbus services 81 & 82 via ASDA. This finishes approximately between 6 - 6.30pm.  

Trentbarton buses run along Mansfield Road via Goose Fair from Victoria Centre and Parliament Street.  These are the Calverton Connection, Pronto, 141 and Rainbow 3 services.
