Pictures From Seaburn's Funpark, the park has seen a few changes from last year with a differant set of dodgems, a trabant, and a brand new Street Fighter!

Pictures of Bridlington's latest attraction, the eye on the bay, a new Giant Wheel from Mondial, The ride is situated on the seafront with the rest of the rides there and looks amazing and really makes the seafront look alot more "permenant" rather than a few fair rides just plonked there.

Pictures from a very muddy field in Newcastle - yes its that time again, Newcastle Town Moor Fair 2007! Unfortunatly this years fair must have ben one of the worst for the showmen that attend here as very heavy rain hit the moor before pull on, during pull on, during the fair opening and whilst pulling down so there was no grass to be found, just mud mud and more mud! Another great selection of machines attened this years fair including Wheatley's new KMG Speed Buzz, 2 new shows, Tango and Equinox, Space Roller, Powersurge, Bomber Mark 2, and spiderman just to name a few.

Pictures of the rides and attractions at the Yorkshire Pride Family Weekend held on York Racecourse. The last fair held on the racecourse was back in 2005 when De konings held a theme park style event but unfortunatly did not do as well as other theme park style events held here. This year though the rides are pay per ride altough there is an entry fee to get in as its just not the rides to see, there will also be live entertainment, celebrity guests, traction engnes and more!

Pictures of build up and a few pics of the fair open at York's annual Easter Fair held in St George's car park in york. As usual Atha's Waltzer, Miller's Dodgems and Harrison's Sizzler formed the main line up of attractions in this well presented fair.

Theline up was the sameas the previous few years with the main attractions being Atha's waltzer and Harrison's Sizzler with a new topsign and artwork.

Once again, the first big fair of the season returned to Elland Road in Leeds, although this year seemed smaller and not as many rides were dominating the skyline. A very good model show was held in Leeds United's Bremner suite and a few pictures of some of the great models at the show are in this collection.

A small fair in one of the town's car park's. This fair saw Swaley Storey's invader as a speedway and also saw a very nice set of second hand dodgems make its uk debut with its new owner, Gerald Reeves.

100 Miles away from North Yorkshire, this is a very special feature from a very special fair! This Fantastic Street fair in Loughborough, Leicestershire sees its town centre streets and car parks filled with many of the country's big hitters! On the saturday i was there thousands of people were out and about spending there money and made this a very busy fair with ques for most machines, especially James Mellor's Space Roller that looked fantastic and was really pulling in the crowds giving it a fantastic atmosphere! This fair is very easy to spot from nearby as many tall atractions dominate the skyline including James Mellors Big Ben, 2 KMG Boosters - Xtreme and Buzzin, Murphy's 2Xtreme Capriolo and S&D's Reverse Bungee!
Many other top class rides inlclude Cox's Move it 32, Waltzers, Dodgems, Twist's and many more!

Pictures from a very well presented fair on Hornsea Seafront. This fair was a very very nicely laid out fair and deffinatly gave a warm "Family" feel to it. This fair was very well advertised throughout Hornsea and Surrounding areas to give great publicity to this great new fair over the half term holiday.
A great layout, nice entrance and colourfull bunting placed around the ground made this feel like a nice family fair with a great selection of family attractions

Pictures of a very nice Bridlington Fair 2006, in Hilderthorpe car and coach park. This fair had dozens of games stalls, juviniles and a fantastic selection of large rides including Michael Wallis' Vertigo and Albert John Evans' Extreme! The Fair also had 2 Jump and Smiles and other family rides such as Freddy Stokes' Superbob and more!

Unfortunatley the night i attended this fair it poured down all night so was unable to get alot of good pictures, so i only got 3 very poor blurred ones. The field the fair was on was a total bath of mud so there was only about a maximum of 5 punters on the ground! So to make up for the poor pictures i will include a report of the attractions present:

Waltzer - David Johnson
Twist - George Tucker
Arcade - Herbert Hurst
House of Mouse Funhouse -?
and a small handfull of juviniles and games.

Pictures from the last day of Hull Fair, with a few new attractions that arrived on Sunday 8th from Nottingham Goose Fair, These inclded M&D'S Bomber Mark 2 replacing Whitelegg's Booster and James Mellor's Space Roller replacing Sedgwick's Superspin, and many more new machines replacing some of the rides that were there for the first few days.

A fantastic fair as allways with this year seeing loads of new attractions to hull including 2 debuts! These were Billy Crow's King Frog Jump and Smile, this ride looks stunning at night with multi Coloured lights and a frog with a crown in the centre, this ride also features other customised features such as the hand rails with a crown in them! The second debut is simular to a Jump and Smile but with a spinning differance, this was M&D Taylor's "Spiderman" wich is a Fabbri "Smashing Jump" the ride is like a jump and smile with suspended spinning seats! One machine that really caught my eye and a new machine to the Yorkshire area was Terrance Hill's Chaos that flips riders around at great speeds! Other Top attractions included Equinox, Move it 32, Top Buzz 2, Superspin, 2 freak outs, and frisbee along with a handfull of Twist's, Miami's, Jump and Smile's, Dodgems and Waltzer's and much more to make this an amazing fair.

The 2nd fair of the year on Harrogate's stray for the summer stray fair is allways bigger and better than the autumn one and this was no exception!

Pictures From Whitby's 66th Whitby Regatta fair, and a great fair it was too! Once again the fair was very busy day and night with most rides riding full throughout the whole event from morning till night! A nice suprise this year was Graham Sedgwick's Freak Out, that swung riders over the pier wall and over the sea, a very rare and cold experiance! Also new this year was Billy Crow's Exposure Miami replacing Clark's Miami and Mathew Fendicks Tagada replacing Nobles Powersurge from last year. O Brians Big Wheel built up at night as it was far too windy to build up in the day. Bring on next year!

Well, where shall i start? This has to be one of favorite fairs i go to and has an atmosphere like no other, but that is probably down to the fact that a fantastic line up of machines were once again at the Pickering Traction Engine Rally! Every year we get some great machines from allover the country that dont normally travel around this area because of the popularity and the thousands of people that attend the event. This year seemed to be busier than ever and alot of rides riding steady all day, untill the night when you can expect ques, an example of this was Jay Barwicks new freak out that seemed to be one of the most popular rides, another extremely popular ride was Terry Atha's waltzer that had an atmosphere like no other with amzing mic work, great music and fantastic lighting, the only bad thing was you'd be lucky to find an empty car!The main fair had 1 ride bigger this year with Reece phillips' giant wheel! Apart from the modern fair there was also a nice sized vintage one with gallopers, cakewalk, big wheel, steam yachts, chairs, and the fantastic wall of death from Ken Fox. A truely amazing fair and a must for any keen fair enthusiast.

A very busy Sunderland air show, thanks to the nice weather, unlike last year! A Great selection of rides although none of Crow's rides due to other engagements elsewhere, but rides just as good took there places and they were riding full all day! pics are from all 3 fair locations throughout Roker and Seaburn sea front's.

A small collection of pics from Butlin's amusement park located on seaburn sea front, the park was very busy due to the air show been on the same day.

Pictures of the small fair put on for the annual "Wilberfoss Summer Fayre". A very nicely presented fair with just 1 big ride in attendance and a big selection of juvinile rides, games and inflatables, a ghost train and funhouse. A £1 entry fee was in place to get into the event.

In Previous years there has been a small fair on sowerby flatts in support of the annual Thirsk Festival, but this year the fair is right in the middle of the town centre on the Market Place with a tatally differant ride line up, only 2 large rides and a small selection of childrens rides but this really brightens the town up abit!

One of the country's biggest fairs returned on newcastle town moor for the "Hoppings" Fair. This year saw the best line up of machines that included 2 Tango's and 2 Top Scans and the debut of M&D'S Fabbri Booster maxxx named "Bomber Mark 2", the worlds first 16 seat booster that stands an amazing 50 meters tall! I attended both saturdays so i got plenty of pics!The first saturday had hundreds of people in the daytime that meant all rides were doing well but unfortuantley at night it rained non stop that meant most rides closed about an hour before closing. The second saturday was alot better though as it was fantastic weather and lots of people around allthough from around 4 - 7.30 the fair was not so busy as an important world cup game was on but after that the ground was really busy with people sampling what is deffinatley one of the UK's best fairs.

The first of the 2 anual fairs returned on Harrogate Stray with a good selection of rides. Throughout the time i was there it poured down, hailed and eventually it got nice and sunny and brought out the families. This fair is slightly smaller than the summer one but still has a good selection of rides and attractions for all ages.

What should of been a very busy Leeds Big Weekend was a very wet and cold leeds weekend. This 2 day Event Organised by Scott Pullen and PC Events should have seen spectacular entertainment such as motorbike stunt shows and much more but die to the weather this did not happen. Despite the misurable weather and very low attendance this fair was still good as it had a fantastic line up of rides and attractions. The fair was fenced off with a £2 entrance fee that inlcuded free entertainment, that obviously didn't happen and 4 50p of rides vouchers.

Pictures were taken here the same day i took pictures of the Big Weekend just 3 miles down the road! i got there as the fair was opening at 2 pm so the ground was fairly quiet but the people that were around were riding. Also the wet weather may have put people off from going to the fair but still i enjoyed my visit and at least i got to see Walter Murphy's recently purchased "2 extreme" Mondial Capriolo for the first time and this machine looks unbeliveable!
