We were there on Sunday and had a great time.

Carter’s really is the best Fair out there (in the UK at least) and it’s always worth keeping an eye out for when they’ll be in your neck of the wood.

I was also pleasantly surprised that only a few rides were unsuitable for our 3 year old.

Those are some sweet signs. The world needs lots, lots more. Reminds me of Professor Marvel…

Check out this brief but nice video interviewing Joby Carter::


Refreshingly not cut vinyl. A skilled sign painter is a joy to watch, and they are getting more and more rare.

And the replica
