There’s a lot to do before we open, so we’d better get crackin’. When all the rides are set to go - it’s on with the show!
3 Roll a Penny, Toss a Ball (I Carter)
All the fun of the fair - what ride will you choose first?

Grab your mat and it’s up the stairs and down the slide you go!
5 The House of Wax (I Carter)
The forerunner to Madame Tussauds, the travelling House of Wax with its heroes frozen in time.

Roll up, roll up! Swing that hammer and ring that bell, if you can!

What will Madam Zaza see in her crystal ball for you?

Hackett’s Golden Gallopers (I Carter)
A mystical tale of a young girl’s love of the gallopers, Hackett's pride of the fair. Oh the joy you’ll find, riding the horses round and round. The rides are such fun, but with the fairground, magic is never far away.
