Last few chances to enjoy Hollycombe this year!

Saturday 22nd October is the last open evening at Hollycombe.

Don't miss the chance to come along and enjoy two more daytime openings on Sundays 9th & 16th October.

If you haven't experienced the steam fair in the dark, you've missed a unique experience! There's nothing like the sounds and smells of a steam-driven fair at night, so come along and experience it before it's too late to do so this year! Once you've paid to come in, all rides are free too!

Saturdays 15th & 22nd October have a ghostly theme with a Halloween flavour. It's nothing serious, just a bit of extra fun!

Wall of Death at Fairground Weekend

For the first time ever, Hollycombe will feature a Wall of Death during the Fairground Weekend 23rd and 24th July 2011 and 40th Anniversary Weekend 30th and 31st July.

A visit to the Wall of Death fulfills the need for excitement, satisfies a lust for danger. The spectacle of ever present danger, bravado coupled with the inevitable anticipation that something may go wrong as the artists cling to their machines, steering them with their feet, sitting sideways, backwards and forwards breaking down the forces of gravity.

Please note there will be a small additional charge to watch this attraction.

Visiting Ride Confirmed for Fairground Weekend

Orton & Spooner Speedway Ark

Hollycombe's Fairground Weekend will feature a 1934 Orton & Spooner Speedway Ark, a children's juvenile ark roundabout and a juvenile dobby horse roundabout.

The weekend of 23rd and 24th July will play host to Hollycombe's Fairground Weekend. With visiting steam engines and fairground rides for just this weekend, this is an event not to be missed.
