    The Fairground Heritage Trusts Fairground Museum at Lifton, West Devon, closed permanently on Sunday 3rd November 2024.

    The vast collection of heritage fairground rides and paraphernalia will be relocated to the Stotfold Barn Railway near Tamworth in Staffordshire and Hollycombe Steam in the Country near Liphook in Hampshire.

    Thankfully no items from the collection will be sold or disposed of by other means.

    I was at Statfold a while ago [back in August] and they were busy putting up a new shed, which I understood was for this move.

    No. The Trsut slimmed down the collection to a manageneable size a year or two ago.
