Vintage fairground featuring some of the world's oldest rides arrives in Shropshire - here's all you need to know
A vintage steam fair featuring some of the world's oldest fairground rides has arrived at a Shropshire country park.
Residents from across the county are being welcomed to the Lakins Steam Fair at Attingham Park, near Shrewsbury, over the May half-term holiday where they can enjoy a variety of several classic attractions.
Between this Saturday (May 24) and Sunday, June 1, visitors can take a ride on the Victory Dodgems that date back to 1936 or enjoy the thrill of the Excelsior Steam Yachts, the second-oldest ride of its kind in the world.
There are rides for younger visitors too with the Toytown Roundabout alongside several vintage game stalls including a six-dart roundstall, a white-and-blue roll-down roundstall and a coconut/skittle stall.
It will be the first time Attingham Park has hosted the Lakins Steam Fair.
The Toytown Roundabout and games will cost £2.50 per ride/play while a ride on the Steam Yachts costs £3 per person, and the Victory Dodgems will be £5 per car.
