Link Centre - Stephen Hill's Funfair

Stephen Hill's Funfair

The centre is also home to many public events, including Stephen Hill's funfair. It is the biggest funfair that comes to Swindon, featuring many thrill rides and is very popular with people of all ages. However it has had some complaints from neighbours who are distressed and disturbed by the amount of noise the funfair creates. Also, attacks have been reported there, including an incident with a 13 year old girl being beaten up by a gang, whilst 30 people watched on. But this problem has been addressed and police are now patrolling the site whilst the funfair is in progress. It would have seemed that with the new football pitches being built the funfair wouldn't be able to operate in a correct manner, however the fair can still fit in many big rides including Vertigo, The Waltzers, Tagada & Miami Trip 3 which is Stephen Hill's own. The fair comes to Swindon firstly around March and secondly around September. Each time the fair is presented, new rides and attractions are joined to the roster to keep the public entertained.
