The attraction is a facility unique in the UK, designed to capture the magic of a bygone age through exhibits, vintage engineering and stunning artwork displays.
The Dingles Fairground Museum is a 45,000 square foot indoor attraction that provides a unique opportunity to view our Fairground Heritage in a beautiful rural location.
During the pandemic we have revamped our site, and have now opened our new 25,000sq ft Museum gallery. The site is now all on one level for accessibility, with drop off points for those with disabilities right by the main entrance. We regret that we are unable to accommodate dogs, except guide and hearing dogs (water bowls available on request).
For the 2022 Season, Dingles Fairground Museum will be reopening in two stages.
Stage 1 – From Easter 2022 will be re-opening our Rides Hall, complete with new Arcade for 3 hour pre booked sessions twice daily. This will include our new temporary Cafe (light refreshments only), and Shop.
Stage 2 – From June 2022 we will be delighted to welcome visitors to all of the above, plus our new dedicated 25,000sq ft exhibition space featuring a whole host of fairground artwork and artefacts, including numerous new exhibits.
Pre booking will be essential for the whole 2022 season, as we try return to full operational capacity following the Covid-19 Pandemic – So please be patient, we are mostly volunteers!

From Torbay and East Devon, go to Exeter and then down the A30. From Plymouth and South Devon, go to Tavistock TOWN CENTRE, not to Launceston. From the church take the Chillaton road and follow the brown signs for 12 miles. From Cornwall follow the A30 towards Exeter.
