Hollycombe at Night
Could there be anything more atmospheric than a vintage fairground, with those
familiar sounds and smells taking us back to our younger days? Well how about a
vintage fairground at night? The Hollycombe Steam Museum will be operating the
fairground on Saturday evenings, from 17 th September until 22 nd October.
If you have never visited Hollycombe, it is an absolute must (at any time of day)!
There is much to see and do, although the fairground is without doubt the centrepiece
of the collection. Powered almost entirely by steam, Hollycombe 's vintage fairground
is the largest in the country, and boasts some extremely rare machines. Included are a
unique single steam yacht and a Howcroft Razzle Dazzle, the sole surviving ride of its
type anywhere in the world.
The Hollycombe collection is located in Liphook, Hampshire. Details can be found on
the website www.hollycombe.co.uk
