"The Fair was pretty much running at capacity over the weekend. And
if there was any doubt about the event's success, Carters have
confirmed that they would like to come back and do it all again, but
next time for longer." "I
also spoke to some of the traders on the seafront about the Carters
event at Dreamland, and they said that this was the best weekend
they have had since Dreamland stopped operating as a permanent
amusement park in 2002. This is real evidence of the importance of
Dreamland to Margate as a resort. I am hopeful that with Dreamland
reopened as the first amusement park of thrilling historic rides
that Margate seafront will be transformed."
The event was covered by
BBC
News, the
Thanet Extra and the
Isle of Thanet Gazette.
There is also a
Photo Gallery of
Carters at Dreamland, hosted by
Joyland Books.
