Well, it's my DD actually wants it. I know there's one in Brighton, but when we went it was closed because it was too windy!
Is there anywhere else?

I think the old style ones move around the country. There has been one in Nottingham city centre on occasions, but I don’t think it’s there now.

There’s one on the town moor in Newcastle right now until Sunday.

West midlands Safari park had one, they may still do. Proper old one with sacks to go down in!

feliciabirthgiver · 26/06/2025 06:53

Fishers Farm used to have one (and is a lovely day out).

Come to Hull for Hull Fair, it’s on for a week in October. There’s quite a few vintage rides in amongst the new ones.

XelaM · 26/06/2025 07:03

Alexander Palace (North London) bonfire night fireworks rides always have one

Teenagerantruns · 26/06/2025 07:04

Butlins have them in thier funfair, if you near one you could get a day pass. Funfair is free.

katienana · 26/06/2025 07:04

I know its the North still but Beamish in Durham has one

Wowzel · 26/06/2025 07:05

I saw one in Weymouth last year

TheChosenTwo · 26/06/2025 07:06

I’ve just watched the news and there’s one on a pier at Glastonbury!
Might be a bit of an expensive mission 😂

FattyBumBumNoMore · 26/06/2025 07:10

There’s a traditional fair in Holyport near Maidenhead this weekend. Are you near? I saw them setting up yesterday and didn’t see a HS - on their Facebook page there’s a photo of one but might be worth emailing them to ask?

Aussiegold · 26/06/2025 07:14

Weymouth one is still there!

kab89 · 26/06/2025 07:16

I believe there is one at Adventure Island in Southend
