🎠The famous vintage funfair with rides from the 1890s to the 1960s, all lovingly restored with heritage craft skills. Now looking for a permanent home.

Lovely post by @exitthelemming about @CartersFair. They’re looking for a way to save it for future generations, including apprenticeship plans. Hoping there’s a #heritage funder or three who might be interested in making this possible. #FundraisingTwitter

What a wonderful time we had at #CartersSteamFair. It’s the world’s largest travelling vintage funfair; you might recognise it from PADDINGTON 2.
Our joy was tinged with sadness though; this was their last ever night of touring
