ALL THE FUN OF THE OLD TIME FAIRGROUND

It has been said that the Old Time Fairground at Welland is the best in the country. It features a fine selection of traditional amusements such as galloping horses, big wheel, dodgems, hurricane jets, skid and ghost train  mixed with children’s rides and side stalls, all accompanied by traditional fairground music.

During the weekend, over 20 of the Showman’s Engines will be generating electricity to power and light the fair – a wonderful sight after dark on the Friday and Saturday evenings!

WELLAND ROAD RUN!

Join us from midday on Thursday 25th July as a magnificent selection of engines and machinery travel together by road from Welland to Upton upon Severn.
