A fun fair with rides at Central Park, open from Thursday 1 October to Sunday 11 October.
Anderton and Rowlands Fun Fair are back at Central Park from Thursday 1 October to Sunday 11 October, bringing their rides to the biggest park in Plymouth. It's a fair that's become a bit of a fixture here, and this run takes it across eleven days, so you've got plenty of time to work around your week rather than having to cram it all into one weekend.
Central Park is the largest park in the city, and it's got a fair bit of history behind it — it was first laid out in 1928. Having the rides set up there gives the whole thing a particular feel, with the fairground taking over a good chunk of the green for a few weeks. It's a familiar spot for a lot of us, and having the rides back in the park is one of those things that marks the turn of the season.
If you're planning when to head down, the opening hours change depending on the day. On weeknights, it's open from 5pm to 8.30pm, which works if you're popping in after work or school. Weekends are a bit longer: 12.30pm to 4.30pm and then 5pm to 9pm, so you can go in the afternoon or wait until the evening. Just keep in mind that the final day, Sunday 11 October, only has one session from 12.30pm to 4.30pm, so if that's your only free slot, you'll need to make it there early.

As for the cost, it's all wristbands. An unlimited riding wristband is £11.99, and there's a tiny tots band for £6.99 for those under 1 metre. If you're just coming along to watch the smaller ones, there's a non-rider wristband for £2, which is for adults accompanying small children and OAPs. Entry is by wristband only, so you'll need one to get in. The fair runs from Thursday 1 October to Sunday 11 October at Central Park, Plymouth, Devon PL2 3DG.
