What's going on on Wandsworth Common opposite Brinkleys? A funfair or travellers parking up? Post Reply

Is there a funfair happening on Wandsworth Common this weekend? I haven't see any promotion for one?
I ask because I saw a large gathering of travellers on the part of the common by Brinkleys yesterday?

I'm not aware of a fun fair taking planned for Wandsworth Common. Not sure how there would be room with all of the teenagers that party there every night

The Bellevue Road fete is usually at the start of September so maybe here for that?

It’s a funfair. They have it every year. Seems to be mainly rides for little kids. Always seems pretty empty.

There is a funfair on the Bellevue Road side of the common. It’s open daily from 12, until the 31st of August.

After months of lockdown, my two kids, 3 and 6, were delighted to go. Agree not a huge funfair, but as not a lot of people knew about it, it was quite empty, ie no queues! There were a couple of attractions that were definitely for the older ones, and saw a small group of teenagers (with masks) get on them.

The jumping ropes, bumper cars and the runaway train were a hit with my 2. Easy to spend a lot of money quickly, but we had fun!

Ridiculously priced kids fun fare.  Somebody at the council is no doubt taking a bung.
