WE are
racing against the clock - but well be there!
Those were the
words of New Pleasureland director Norman Wallis as the fair swung
into town today (Friday 21 March).
With over 50
rides on site, New Pleasureland bosses have promised a fair
bigger and better than ever before. The Marine Drive
park, which opens from 11am until late throughout the Easter
holidays, is free to enter, with rides costing between £1 and £3.
The fair will
then open at weekends before the school summer holidays commence in
mid-July. Full story HERE
