| OUR CAROUSEL
Our own Carousel is Victorian-themed and is among the finest travelling in Europe. The ride carefully designed and constructed by us around 12 years ago based on the Carousel below.
|
NO 1 CAROUSEL (L BISHTON & SON)
The Bishton family's No 1 Carousel was built by Frederick Savage of King's Lynn in 1890 initially fitted with a steam engine. Nowadays the roundabout can be operated either by steam or by an electric motor. This ride attends many of the UK's most famous fairs including Nottingham Goose Fair, Ilkeston Charter Fair and Stamford & Grantham Mid-Lent fairs.

|
| NO 2 CAROUSEL (L BISHTON & FAMILY)
This is the Bishton family's No 2 Carousel ride, which following months of careful construction made its debut in the Summer of 2005.
|
NO 3 CAROUSEL (L BISHTON & FAMILY)
This is the latest Carousel to be acquired by the Bishton family. It was formerly a resident at the amusement park on Barry Island in South Wales.

|
| WAVESWINGER CHAIR-O-PLANES
The Waveswinger Chair-O-Plane ride which travels the length and depth of the UK has the additional feature of lifting and tilting, similar to those seen in Continental Europe and in UK theme parks such as Alton Towers. This type of ride is seldom seen travelling the UK, hence widely travelled.
|
CAKE-WALK
The Brooklyn Cake-Walk, created in 1895 by Plymson and Taylor, it is the only model that is still operating and that the public can try at a funfair. This ride attends events such as Nottingham Goose Fair, Great Dorset Steam Fair, Ilkeston Charter Fair and Stamford & Grantham Mid-Lent fairs just to mention a few.
|
|
| BIG WHEEL
Should you require aerial thrills and views of your event, a traditional Big Ferris Wheel is available for hire. This type of attraction has been popular on fairgrounds for many generations and dates back to the early 20th Century.
|
LIGHTHOUSE SLIP
Recent additions to the family galaxy of equipment are two examples of the traditional Helter Skelter or Lighthouse Slip as they are also known. This attraction is a
well-known icon of the travelling funfair. You climb a staircase to the top of the tower then slide down the spiral chute on a provided mat.
