SEASIDES, FAIRGROUNDS AND CIRCUSES Tuesday 30th July 2024 11am July 19 2024

FREE FILM SHOW!

The historic links between Circus and Fairgrounds - When the railway system expanded in the 19th Century it gave rise to our many Seaside Resorts, Pleasure Beaches, Pleasure Gardens and Seaside Circuses developed around the country. 

People wanted places to get away to and plenty of enjoyment from the family of entertainments once they were there. Archive films over the past century bring the past alive - holiday times for Stokies and Staffordshire.
