The travelling funfair will be open at Castle Field from Friday, April 26 to Monday, May 6 - with the exception of April 30 and May 1 when it will be closed. Each day the fair will be open from midday until late, with fun characters also joining in for photo opportunities both weekends.

From rides to traditional hook the duck, there will be something for everyone to get involved in. My Portsmouth By Drone has captured some incredible footage of the funfair getting ready to open its doors today.
