Thank goodness that there are collectors like this in the world. Not only preserving these marvelous machines but allowing them to be enjoyed and appreciated by all.

[@wizzwamf]

that ghost train had some good displays

[@MJARTBYDAY]

The carousel has always and will be my favourite ride. So many memories when I was with my mum and dad in Scarborough .. I miss them so much ... and us all going to Scarborough for our holidays and other seaside towns like Blackpool and Brid .. thank you very much for bringing back memories for us ... Darren you are the best xx

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks matey

[@hollimurray8856]

Looks great!

[@emmasmith61]

A few years ago we was at a local steam rally and it started to pour. Stood under the green tarps of the iron maiden. Kept us nice and warm.

[@jamesdugan3079]

Thanks Darren, that was fun.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks James

[@rachelwalker7091]

Fabulous! I remember standing on the bars on the Speedway many years ago. I didn’t know that the Wurlitzer pipe room is so big. Thanks for showing us behind the scenes.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Rachel

[@Clara-ph7my]

Absolutely beautiful. These rides and transport, so well painted and cared for. The old sound of a traditional travelling fair. I hope 'Carter's' also find a special place to retire and be remembered. I used to love seeing the trucks, as the visiting fair would arrive. Happy Dayz

[@lukodianfamily5602]

My dear mum who passed lived in Scarborough. She always spoke highly of it and had great memories

[@lukodianfamily5602]

And the wurlitzer playing a Greek song 🤣🤣🤣

[@AdventureMe]

It's a lovely little place

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

Love a good vintage fairground. Been to one in Devon. People of the past knew how to have a good time. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@davidfry2093]

The museum at Lifton in Devon (Dingles) is due to close at the end of the season with the collection being split up I believe.

[@sarahcrowther6267]

Ahh fab Darren.....and we know you can sing cos you and the chaps were brilliant last friday night in Holmfirth, the girls and i had a brilliant time. Sarah, Frankie, Zoe, Janet and Hannah. XXXXX

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Sarah

[@matthewgriffiths8423]

Nice to see that you went into the Wurlitzer pipe chambers and explained. A lot of people think that the sounds come from speakers and the console. I am a trustee of the Shropshire Theatre Organ Trust where we are custodians of our own Mighty Wurlitzer Organ which is currently looking for a new home venue within Shropshire

[@AdventureMe]

Yeah I learned a lot too

[@a11csc]

what a delightful collection darren

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Chris. Had a great day in there

[@davidrice9880]

Another venue on my list for 2023, thank you.

[@AdventureMe]

Enjoy David

[@aoilpe]

Nice to see you smile like a boy…😊

[@tugger10doran15]

And the memories keep flooding back thanks Darren 😊

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks mate. Where have you been. Not seen you on here for ages lol

[@tugger10doran15]

It's been all working mate but back now

[@jetsons101]

I think Darren had a fun day making this video..... What a way to spend a day, good times. The funny thing about the "bumper cars" is that you now get in trouble if you actually "BUMP" eachother..... Nothing like Vintage Steam, loco's "showman's" traction engines or ships, all great stuff.

[@chriswardlow9441]

Hello Darren,great video and it brings back many memories for me as I was a volunteer worker at weekends up at Graham's Scarborough fair collection and it's as you know a magnificent place and there was always plenty of cleaning to do,I've given the famous Iron Maiden a few clean's that's a few year's ago know, it's nice to see Alan Carr at the Mighty Wurlitzer and knew him well. Just love it all and has been a part of my life for many year's.

[@AdventureMe]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michellevonjaeger5743]

That was Fantastic ! ! What an amazing collection!!

[@Wedgedoow]

What wonderful collection, thanks for posting.

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Oh that was so beautiful. I used to own a Wurlitzer organ but it was electronic. Would just love to get on a pipe organ for a while. The whole show is lovely, I so enjoyed that. Thanks for taking me along, please stay safe and take care

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Linda

[@OutandAboutWithDavid]

Thank you Darran. Cannot believe I missed the Scarborough Fair Collection when staying at The Bay Filey. I travelled along the Moor Road and the A165 daily. Will put on my travel list for next time I visit Yorkshire. I do enjoy Steam machines as much as the enjoyment into time travel, science and steampunk.

[@personwhotalkstomuch4898]

Many thanks Darren for a fantastic video. The showmans steam engines & the tractors bought back many memories for me along with the steam waggon. My late father used to drive steam engines and waggons at many steam rallies around the country and I have to admit I had a tear in my eye when you were listening to those organs.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks for watching

[@andybaker2456]

Blimey, what a great piece of nostalgia! I have to hope that the woman in the ballroom wearing the yellow dress never sees this video though, I bet she'd be mortified that her black knickers are in clear view for all the world to see! 🤣

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Andy. Never noticed that lol

[@andybaker2456]

@@AdventureMe I'm not really sure why I noticed it, to be fair! 😆

[@MarkDenson-ld8bf]

Really enjoyed watching this Thank you Darren

[@shirleylynch7529]

Absolutely fabulous. What an amazing time you must have had. I was enthralled all the way through and at the end wow wow wow. Thank. You Darren so much.

Thanks Shirley

That version of Bohemian Rhapsody was something else! 😄

GREAT video.Many many thanks.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Trevor

[@RobinHullBuilds]

Hey Darren A fabulous video with another behind the scenes tour. So good! I loved how the German Oktoberfest organ was playing the theme from The Dam Busters. It’s absolutely amazing these showman and the Wurlitzer organs were invented long before computer technology and were constructed by hand and by skilled craftsmen. Stunning!

[@AdventureMe]

Many thanks!

[@kathleenrodgers4514]

This was fabulous, and I loved seeing your face while enjoying the rides 😅😅 I've been there once a few years ago but this has made me want to return and spend a bit longer

[@aidanbowe3866]

Absolutely loved that!! Thanks Darren

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Aidan

[@malcolmclark1803]

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme lol.. great video 👍

[@martinmarsola6477]

A fine museum of these vehicles of the past. Amazing museum. Thanks for the tour today, Darren. Cheers mate.

[@andrewmatley7688]

awesum collection brings back memories for me thank you for the video.

[@douglasthompson296]

Hi Darren, nice one fella. It was eye opening for me to realise a Wurlitzer organ needed a pipe room. Think you were in heaven there, hope you didn't get too moist 😜 I can still remember the fair coming to Batley as a kid, the rides and stalls and best bit was a bag of 'chats' (new potatoes, halved and fried like chips). Oh innocent, but exciting times. Cheers DougT in Mancs

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Doug

[@Dan23_7]

I remember last year seeing Carters fun fair going down the M5, what a sight. I’m sure they have one of those old Scammell trucks 🇬🇧🇬🇧 Jerry cans in that green truck, the British nicked the design off the zee Germans, they all fit together like you could see. Jerrys was the nickname for Germans in the war, hence “Jerry cans”

[@johnbrice2842]

great.great great.luv all the info

[@jetsons101]

Forgot to say: Darren, this video really made me think of the second Paddington Bear movie.

[@rjmun580]

That was great and looks like a great place to visit if it happens to rain in Yorkshire. A couple of songs come to mind - of course `Are you going to Scarborough Fair` by Simon and Garfunkel and less well known is Jo Stafford singing `The Stanley Steamer` from the 1940s (not the Stanley Steemer song)

[@mousecharger]

What a magical place.thanks for sharing x

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks mate

[@michaelobrien9825]

We were there a few years back and would definitely recommend visiting this place if you are in the Scarborough area.

[@davidedwards5920]

What a fascinating museum, I love all that nostalgia even recognised my first model of car in there a 1954 Standard 8. Looks like a great place to visit thanks for the video Darren. 👍

[@magsu]

This is a most fabulous place just a few miles from my home and well worth a visit. Thanks for a most interesting tour!

[@craigsouthwell3484]

Great video as always. I couldn't help giggle at you having a wee sing song and a boogy to yourself at the end. Lol

[@AdventureMe]

Well nobody else was lol

[@hyperballadbradx6486]

God I love a carousel. Rarely pass up the chance to go on... even if I'm sat on it alone like a weirdo hahaha Looks like a great place to visit!

[@AdventureMe]

I did feel a bit weird, but what the hell.

[@andrewclegg6541]

Stayed at holiday camp next door and visited this fair display, fantastic day there. NOSTALGIA galore !

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Andrew

[@petecotton2801]

Fascinating insight in to this place as always, definitely added to my go to list. Loved the Bo Rap solo mate lol.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Pete

[@cedarcam]

What a wonderful looking place to visit I had never heard of it until recently when it was on TV. So much more there than they showed there, I am really pleased you showed us round.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks mate

[@jaynefrazer883]

We went there last week loved it shame the thriller wasn’t working none the less a great place to visit

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Hi Darren, beautifully maintained.

[@joylunn3445]

Fabulous, about 20 odd years ago we were coming back from a horse show in an elderly Leyland Terrier horse box, up ahead we joined a slower moving steam and classic vehicle convoy also moving on from a show, we fitted right in.

[@AslamGreyFox]

Cheers boss... Absolutely awesome video and worth a visit

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Brandon

[@ronnievenhorst9873]

Nice video. That's a very interesting collection

[@AdventureMe]

Sure is. Lots of stuff in there

[@waynecheshire7878]

Amazing cheers Darren 🎵

[@AdventureMe]

Many thanks!!

[@davidberlanny3308]

Great video, love to see live steam Good luck from Spain!!

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks David

[@HarryYT22]

I love that place I've been 2 times. Such an amazing collection I'd say the organs are the best part they all sound brilliant! Also love the fairground rides and the vintage amusement machines.

[@AdventureMe]

Me too. In my element in there

[@stephenhelm9781]

Brilliant, The old 60's cars remind me of when I was growing up. In fact I had a Morris 1100 and an Austin A35 van in the late 60's early 70's. One of my friends is a showman and when I first met him in 1969 - 1970 his parents lived in one of those living vans you depicted in this episode. He ran the Dodgems his brother ran the Waltzer. This place is now on my must visit list.

[@AdventureMe]

Yes have a look. It's worth it

[@sampoole9549]

Loved this! Will have to visit sometime. The couple holding hands on the carousel 🥰 #lifegoals

[@AdventureMe]

Yea lol. Do visit.

[@christelbraune4530]

Actually I don't Know what to say. That was great. This Video invites you to linger. Great who put it all together. thank you very much Darren 🥰👍👍

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks for watching

[@alxgu198]

That’s a lovely collection of historic attractions. Your face on the rides Darren … like a big kid 😂👍

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks mate. Yes my favourite thing

[@deborahleach9106]

Many years ago, my partner was invited to the home of the late Richard Preston, founder of Preston's of Potto and I tagged along thinking it would pass a few hours. He had a massive barn full of vintage steam engines, steam organs, fairground rides, sideshows etc all of which were working on the day. A fascinating man and collection, it would be interesting to know what became of it after he passed away. Also, Preston's of Potto's business premises were on the site of the disused Potto station and quite a few remnants were remaining.

[@_jaymusic_]

“Couple of organs in the corner” 😂😂

[@AdventureMe]

First one to notice that joke lol

[@caroldave4037]

Well this is a first i was there 3weeks ago with my 2 son in laws...brilliant place... ps did eden camp too on way to filey...that too was brillant...

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks guys. Yes I love Eden camp

[@DesigntowinLew]

Looks a fascinating place to visit , another one to add to my Northern places to see list . Really well put together vid as always Darren . Not sure about the Queen cover , think you should stick to Take That !!

[@musicmachinesuk]

I’ve been there a couple times, once to a Christmas show and a AGM

[@bobly]

That was really interesting, you seemed to be enjoying Bohemian Rhapsody by organ i never knew there was a collection like this next time I'm in Scarborough I'll have a look

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks Robert

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello Darren how are you fancstic vidio yes Jane McDonald been there and Susan carman from grand day out I have never been in there but maybe next year take care stay safe xx

[@simonsays335]

Bo Rap never sounded so good! lol Great video, thanks some great stuff, shame so far away I would love to go :(

[@Air_Cardinal]

The "Not These Two" comment got me.

[@AdventureMe]

I think you're the only one that noticed that haha

[@Air_Cardinal]

@@AdventureMe They were a couple old organs to be fair. Changing the topic slightly, I appreciate this video. I was born in Scarborough in 1992, and have been back fairly recently. I forgot how nice an area it is, I might have to move back. While living there, I lived at the top of Trafalgar Road where you could see the fair from my window. I guess not quite the same in modern years as it was done in a massive car park, but it was always very well executed. A generator driven Merry Go Round very similar to the one in your video (and I wonder if it actually the same one) was always set up close to the main entrance. I'm pretty sure there was a steam driven orchestra that played Scarborough Fair, too. I've also seen some of these rides, Showman's and traction engines put to work at Pickering Traction Rally, and Dorset Steam Fair on multiple occasions so this video really resonated with me. It's brought back some decent childhood memories.

[@ruthbrierley1798]

Vintage ghost train always seemed to include a dodgy bloke who grabbed you in the dark as you went past 😂

[@AdventureMe]

Sexual assault these days lol

[@macstyle2012]

Is that the wurlitzer that used to be owned by Arthur Turner that used to play in the Hollywood Plaza cinema in Scarborough?

[@AdventureMe]

I actually don't know Matthew. Maybe drop them an email, they will defo know.

[@wam2610]

👍

I want to go here but i wish they would raise the entrance price and include the rides or a book of tokens included.

[@seany84uk]

@@Opapa99 thats good then i wasnt certain what the prices were

[@treiberbass2463]

...and what is the meaning of the song 'Scarborough Fair' from Simon & Garfunkel actually ?

hi there Darren, I feel a bit daft saying this but a friend of mine said that the Wurlitzer organ wasn't in there, Put him right will you. Thanks.

There's two in there.
