There is free parking on site, a cafeteria, and picnic tables should you prefer to bring your own refreshments.

The 1940s Ghost Train

Our 1940s Ghost Train is a rare survivor, and the subject of a recent restoration project. The artwork is original, and by the well-know firm of Hall & Fowle, acknowledged masters of this craft.

The Victorian Rodeo Switchback

Believed to be the oldest working powered Fairground Ride, the Rodeo Switchback. The spectacular carved wooden cars, featuring stars of the silent screen, and some bizarre animal characters, date from the 1920s.
