I FOUND A POP UP FUNFAIR - Holmes Funfair Gorseinon

Welcome to another video on the channel.
We found a pop up fair in Gorseinon, situated in a small car park this ground is set up by Andrew Holmes.
2 machines are on offer including Holmes sizzler twist and his can can frogs. Although it was a small ground we had a ton of fun 😊
Andrew Holmes is always welcoming and always welcomes me with open arms. I'm so glad I found this little treasure.of a fair as of recent showmen up and down the country need our support more than ever.
With the coat of living and terrible weather lately pretty much every ground has suffered in terms of takings. So I find it really important to support your local funfair whenever you can.
Showmen need to pay pitch rent, ride maintenance, staff wages, and a ton of other hidden costs so for me it's absolutely heartbreaking to see Funfairs so empty lately.
I'll always support local showmen when and where I can.
As always I hope you enjoy this very short vlog from Andrew Holmes Funfair in Gorseinon

    Abie Danters is back at Blackwood this week from the 18th till the 21st only a 6 arm Extreme, Danters Waltzers and the Insania Miami so not much rlly but it's the support that counts tbh. I remember this one fair in Nelson which had to leave 3 days early due to not having enough support and not getting enough money to keep the rides running even though it was a good lineup with Thriller Express, Frogs, Crazy Cage and Energizer miami and it was dead it's so upsetting seeing fairs this empty 😢

    Yea same here. Unfortunately it's the way it is at the moment. Most grounds are quiet...as long as the children enjoyed that's the main thing

    I think some fairs struggle due to the lack of machines present because they often are on small grounds. Living in Haverfordwest we were always used to having big fairs here until the council stopped them going back to the ground after they built the new leisure centre. Now the ground they have is small and even smaller the last few years after Aldi extended. It’s sad to think that one day we may never have a funfair here again. The town council mainly the mayor keep saying watch this space for a new location but it never comes to anything. I really hope the council will one day allow them a better site 🙏🤞

    I agree unfortunately mate. Unfortunately vintage is not what people want....hence that's one of the reasons carter's had to close up. I would love the old bombers to come back but it's just not feasible in this day and age.
