What is the Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre?

Enjoying the colour and spectacle of yesteryear!
The Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre is home to the National Fairground Collection and the Fairground Heritage Trust. It is a facility unique in the UK.

For 2007 a major feature will be the "Pleasurelands" exhibition, which traces 200 years of Fun at the Fair.

This will enhance our usual superb displays of Fairground Art and Memorabilia, and large array of vintage rides, stalls and shows.

There will be special themed events throughout the season, in addition to which we are open from April to October, every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Come along and pay us a visit - it's a great day out for all the family.
