There’s something truly timeless about the buzz of a fairground. The glow of lights after dark, the sound of laughter and music in the air, and that unmistakable mix of excitement and nostalgia have been part of British life for generations, from village greens to seaside promenades.
In the early days, fairgrounds were simple gatherings. Travelling showmen brought hand-cranked rides, swing boats, and colourful stalls to towns across the country. When steam power arrived in the 1800s, everything changed. Rides spun faster, lights shone brighter, and the fair became a spectacle that drew families from miles around.
By the early 20th century, electricity transformed funfairs once again, ushering in a golden age of excitement. Gallopers, waltzers, and big wheels became firm favourites, while families of showmen travelled the country keeping the tradition alive. Many of those same families are still in the industry today, proudly maintaining the magic of the fair.
