Winter Work

The yard has been busier than ever this winter, as several rides spent Christmas at the O2 Winter Wonderland. The frenzy of activity includes the Gavioli Galloper organ completely restored, painted and tuned ready for another season. The Dean organ from the Steam Yachts is now awaiting similar treatment. 

There are new carved panels for the centre of the Gallopers, and there is more gilding to be done before another seasons work. 

Anna Carter's 1948 Vosper living wagon is currently having it's paintwork touched up and revarnished. 

John Todd's Foden, which hauls the Victory Divebomber is being decorated, and Seth Carter's new Foden for the Skid cars is also being decorated in Carters livery.

The Jungle Thriller Ark had it's 75th birthday in December. We'd like to offer anyone over 75 who brings both their parents the chance to ride for free!

NEW BOOK: PHOTOGRAPHS OF A SEASON WITH BRITAIN'S PREMIER TRAVELLING FUNFAIR

Carters Steam Fair have teamed up with photographer Adrian G Shaw to produce a new book documenting a season travelling with Carters. The book features 64 pages of superb duo-tone photographs capturing every day life on the fair throughout the year, depicting the Carter family, their friends, helpers, winter restoration work and also summer on the road. Photographs are the main aspect of the book, and try to show the real work of what goes into building the fair up each week, opening for the public at weekends and the moving days.
