The largest travelling fair in the Eastern Region - on Midsummer Common up to and including Monday 25th June.
Many of the usual modern rides are in place - Booster, Sizzler, Miami, Freak Out etc, but for me the star of the show is Jimmy Bowery's Skid. One of my favourite "vintage" rides (am I really that old). The decor is "after" Fred Fowle, and some parts, such as the trellis around the top of the, is painted a single colour, but the ride itself is in fantastic shape.
A touch of the brake was all that was needed to have the car walloping the centre cable and lifting up off the track for a fraction of a second before thundering forwards again.
If you used to enjoy the skid "back in the day" - get over to Cambridge now!
Now - where's my Arnica cream for the bruises...
