£1.50 funfair set to open in Northampton over school summer holiday

A popular £1.50 funfair is set to open in Northampton today (Thursday).

Sixfields Summer Funfair, in Walter Tull Way, will be open from 2pm until 10pm everyday between July 22 and August 1.

John Scarrott and Sons Funfair, the firm which runs the fairground, said on Facebook: "With over 50 rides and attractions there’s something for everyone at Northampton's biggest and best funfair.

"All rides just £1.50 per person all day everyday. All children that come in fancy dress will receive one free ride voucher."

Customers can also meet and greet 'princesses and superheroes' between 2pm and 6pm including Cinderella, Belle, Anna, Elsa, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Ironman.

The company has advertised the event as Covid-safe.

The fairground was last at Sixfields back in April, when many Covid rules were still in place.
