FUTURE 4 FAIRGROUNDS
September is World Fun Fair Month, a thrilling time dedicated to the joy and excitement of fun fairs worldwide.
It brings people together, offering a wonderful chance to enjoy thrilling rides, games, and the unique culture of showmen. Particularly those
who travel with fairs and bring entertainment to towns everywhere We are a group of six female showmen who have joined forces out of
growing concern for the situation faced by the fairground industry and our community. Together, we have established Future 4 Fairgrounds
with the aim of reaching out to a
wider audience. Our objectives
include celebrating our history, raising
awareness of our current situation, and safeguarding our future.

This project is inspired by the many awareness days and months you may already be familiar with. We would love to know what you think and any ideas how you might like to celebrate World Fun Fair Month this September. We have passed all the information on to the various trade body associations. They are in full support of the project
and we are grateful to them for passing on the information to their members.
We would of course like as many of you to be involved as possible.
