The hectic seaside town of Brompton-On-Sea sizzles in the summer heatwave. Holiday makers and locals alike find distraction and amusement on the pier, where the Cranville family have owned and run the fun fair for generations.

The rides on offer rival any of those offered by the biggest theme parks in the country, but at a far more reasonable cost. Pete Cranville, the senior member of the clan, assures that all his attractions offer their guests true value for money.

The Ghost Train is a particular favourite with visitors. Located on the very edge of the pier, it might seem a little out of the way, but it is still one of the fair’s most popular rides.

And for those who make it out alive, it truly is a marvellous experience.
