UPDATE: This is an old post – for info about the funfair at the end of August 2010, go here!
There’s a fun fair on the Heath! It’s only a small one, and they’re still setting up as I write this, but it looks like a nice manageable size, not like some of the massive sprawling fairs over on the Greenwich end of the Heath. Definitely aimed at younger kids, there’s a mini helter-skelter, a merry go round, lots of inflatables, a bungee trampoline, a big wheel, as well as dodgems (as used by non-specific Royalty, see photo below) and other arcade-type attractions along the back row of the fair for adults/older kids.
It’s open from 12-9pm today, and 2-8pm on Sunday.

You are very welcome- glad it was useful!
It’s a shame we don’t merit the more exiting steam fair any more. It appears that Dulwich has taken preference this weekend and next.
