This year's ride list for The Hoppings is now released. Elevate 85 tops the bill for newcomers, the huge new Funtime Star Flyer of Crow Events will be the tallest ride present. The layout is again reduced to the same size as 2024 due to ground works at the Gosforth End. Gives the organisers the opportunity though to fill the gaps at the Exhibition Park end from last year with the displaced attractions. Owing to the clash of dates with the Parklife Festival in Manchester, Matthews Skyfall & Apollo 13 are both absent this year.

🎢🎡 HERE IT IS... THE OFFICIAL 2026 RIDE LIST! 🎡🎢

The countdown is officially on!

Making its debut at The Hoppings this year is the incredible Elevate85, the world’s tallest travelling ride, soaring a breathtaking 85 metres above Newcastle’s Town Moor. If you’re brave enough, prepare for views like you’ve never seen before.

And by popular demand, Psycho is back! 🔥 After becoming an instant fan favourite, this adrenaline-pumping thrill ride returns for another year.

🎡🎢 ONLY 2 WEEKS TO GO 🎡🎢
📆 19th-28th June 2026
📍 Town Moor, Newcastle

Last Sunday the Rowell Fair Society held their annual model show in Tresham Hall above the Conservative Club on Market Hill, Rothwell with Davey Arthur organising the show on their behalf. Exhibits came far afield at Hants & Leeds to attend this event which coincided with the Trinity Sunday celebrations. Posting a few photos which I took on the day.

Just a few photos from the Lichfield Bower Model Show held on 23rd May organised by Andy Watson. Three trophies were awarded at the show, Best In Show went to Paul Meynell for his working Loop Fighter model, Best Transport to John Jennings (JJ) for his 1:50th and Best Traditional to Pete & Kath White for the living wagon.

Some of the transport captured before opening yesterday at Rowell Fair. New for 2026 is Austin Holland's Superbowl replacing John Holland's recently sold Dodgem. It's the first time in the living memory of many that no track opened at the fair. There will be a video to appear of a walk around yesterday's model show.

A short clip taken last Saturday at Lichfield featuring Miami man Simon & his son Marley riding Morris Amusements' Crazy Frog. Wait for the moment a little voice shouts out "FASTER!" 🤣

Selection of photos posted in date order from my visit yesterday to Pinner Fair a one-day Chartered fair hosted by Capital Funfairs. This year saw the Miami count increase to four after years of there just being one (when John Brixton took sole rights) the amount has steadily returned to the quantity often seen in the 1990's.
Also amongst the new rides here were two Superstar rides from Keely Wall & Evan Moran Jnr, the latter did appear way back in 2000 with Scott Manning. The Wall family are no strangers to Pinner, their old Zipper used to stand in Marsh Road in the 1990's.

Today is the Late Spring Bank Holiday in England & Wales and in the cathedral city of Lichfield is Bower day. We were there on Saturday for the model show and took time out to capture some of the transport for the fair organised by Pat Collins Fun Fairs. The amusements in the city were open from Saturday while those on Beacon Park open today only for the main day.
The firm is split up this year with an additional fair open on Hearshall Common Coventry where Michael Harris was open instead with his attractions.

A few photos I took earlier this afternoon from Colesfunfair making their annual Spring visit to Durrington on the western outskirts of Worthing. I was overdue a visit to the Sussex Cole's so took the opportunity this afternoon. Open for the first time was Robert Russett's Sticky Wall Rotor which he acquired from Philip Stevens during the Winter period. After spending last Summer at Clarence Pier, Joseph Stokes' Ferris Wheel is back on the firm's run this season. James Cole's Super Trooper was very popular today as was Joe Stokes' Confolding Extreme swing ride.
