    I love Carters Steam Fair. I just took my daughters to the one in Prospect Park, Reading. I was admiring the quality of the painting and the steam engines. Fabulous.

    I ran away with Carters stream fair in 2001..best summer of my life, I met my husband, travelled the world and had my boys.. If it wasn't for carters I wouldn't have anything.

    Thank God for Carter's Steam Fair! Modern fairgrounds are packed with strobe lighting which could be dangerous if you suffer from Epilepsy, like I do. That's something a traditional fairground doesn't have.

      Eddy2730 I quite enjoyed the strobe lights personally as there are big part of the atmosphere but I've always known for most fun fairs but I can understand your concern.
      If you were to go on a particular ride you could always ask them to switch off while you're on it.

      But Carters deafly offer an alternative and something very unique so I would really love to visit one of their grounds some day.

    Excellent documentary. No wonder it was award-winning. This is one amazing fair. Wish them all the luck in the world for the future success - not that they'll need luck I'm sure. :)
