We are a travelling funfair, but at the same time, we are so much more.

We are the custodians of part of Great Britain’s cultural heritage. Fairs have been interwoven into the fabric of society since medieval times, and fairs with a similar makeup to ours have been in existence for around 200 years.We feel it is of the utmost importance to keep this wonderful tradition alive, and that it is our responsibility to continue in this historic family business, ensuring it will be available for future generations to enjoy.

Unlike a regular museum, we are a fully working, and totally interactive historical experience. We have the ability to transport our patrons to a different era, by stimulating all of their senses, immersing them in all the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings, of things they may have done as a child, or as their grandparents, or great grandparents may have done.

To continually improve our offering, we are always adding new rides and games to our funfair. Unsurprisingly, this cannot be done by going to the current manufacturers, after all, old things cannot be bought new. Instead, we are constantly searching for those special pieces tucked away in the corner of a yard, or hidden in a barn somewhere, some not having seen the light of day for years. We love a new project, and carry out most of the restoration works ourselves, drawing on the years of experience we have, especially from the older members of the family. We also have a skilled and experienced team of funfair engineers and artists at hand, who are always eager for the next challenge. We always have several projects ongoing in our yard, and we are proud to be involved in the restoration and preservation of so many historic, and culturally important funfair attractions.

We are also happy to take on work for others, so if you have a ride that needs restoring, or rebuilding, we are more than happy to assist in your task. We also have the expertise to dismantle, move, and set up rides of all sizes, to allow the work to be carried out. We specialise in Helter Skelter consultancy work, and have assisted many amusement parks, and other showmen, in the set up, and dismantling of these vintage attractions. We have also refurbished complete Helter Skelters, making authentic new parts in the process.

We are owners and operators of all the equipment featured on this site. This ensures that the quality of our rides is second to none.
