Dates and opening times for the Bridlington Autumn Charter Funair have been announced and it will return to its usual site at Moorfield Road car park and run from 19 -23 October.
Last year, the hugely popular event, was held on the grounds of Bridlington Caravan Centre, and despite the temporary move thousands of visitors flocked to the traditional event which dates back centuries.
Yorkshire Section of the Great Britain Showmen’s Guild spokesman for Bridlington Funfair John Breeze said: “We are extremely pleased to be coming back to Bridlington and back on to the usual site at Moorfield Car Park.
“There will be plenty of large rides and a big choice of children’s and juvenile rides, plus the usual array of assorted stalls, including refreshment stalls, food and drink – plus the usual traditions such as brandy snap and candy floss.”
