CARTERS vintage travelling funfair is back at Prospect Park on Saturday, April 9.

After a considerably reduced tour in 2021, the vintage fair is returning to Reading.

The fair includes a vintage carousel, dodgems, and steam yachts, as well as classic attractions such as the strength test, hook a duck, tin can alley, and a coconut shy.

Carters’ collection of vintage amusement rides makes it one of the largest vintage travelling fairs in the world.

Its collection features rides from as far back as the 1890s, and even includes original living wagons which have been restored in keeping with traditional style.

The fair will be visiting Prospect Park, from Saturday, April 9, to Sunday, April 24.
