The summer is almost here and on the Isle of Wight that means the return of the travelling Carnival Funfairs.
As well as lots of new rides on offer – from the kiddies character rides to the Adrenalin-inducing Cage or Orbiter – this year sees the return of the much-loved Waltzer. Step down down memory lane with some of the traditional stalls such as the hook a duck, ball in the bucket, ghost train, rifle range, water balls and not forgetting the trampolines.
