That’s a real shame. That will leave Folly Farm, Scarborough Fair and Hollycombe as the main vintage fairground places. Plus there are still various steam rallies, although the largest one (The Great Dorset Steam Fair) has also been discontinued.
It does make you think that if all the public money that’s been ploughed into Dreamland had gone into some of these other projects, it could have done a lot of good. Just the £5.5 million of Heritage Lottery Funding used to restore vintage fairground rides for Dreamland could have been transformative at somewhere like Dingles.
