All the Fun of the Fair in 23 Feel-Good Photos

13 October 2017

Posted by LisaP

Well, maybe not all the fun of the fair. We’re a little light on refreshments, and we probably can’t supply that heady mix of violently ill meets devil-may-care dash to the nearest roller coaster to do it all again anyway. What we CAN offer is a fantastic selection of photos for you to peruse and reminisce by. We won’t charge you admission either. We’re great! Much like the following selection of photographers, whose keen eye amid the frenetic world of the fairground affords us a terrific array of compositions; from vintage rides to swings, slides and dodgems; crisp daytime shots to a dazzling blend of night-time technique and favourable perspective. Take a look at a selection of the very best from the Picfair collection.

Renowned, newly refurbished, and fantastically resplendent in selective colour, the Helter Skelter looms into view on a cloudy day at Clacton Pier in Essex.
