got a lot of respect for these dudes, something tells me they may not get much sleep, have to get up early (like super early) in the morning to setup... in the cold UK winters. but they all put on one hell of a show when the fair opens to it's all worth it really!
Indeed! I'm a artic driver and I can tell you that trailers can be difficult to maneuver into some places at the best of times. Let alone dragging a heavier and longer trailer through a tight town centre with buildings, street furniture, pedestrians and other vehicles to contend with like the showmen have to. Those boys have some serious driving skill positioning those trailers with inch perfect precision every time.
It's fascinating how the showmen put these rides together, used to love watching the build up of loughborough fair when I worked in the town centre there.
Great video. So much respect for how hard these guys work! We went last night for the opening night. Was a wet one but very busy which was nice to see.
The sheer amount of money these showmen have tied up in rides, trucks and other equipment must be absolutely staggering. It's the first thing I think of every year at Ilson when the heavens open. As they always do :(
Fantastic waltzer fantastic lights and music looks fantastic at night not allowed to film it just goes to show why UK funfairs are junk shows how intelligent showman are
I filmed on half their rides and my mate filmed all their rides i went on that she didnt. Ive posted them on tiktok n they havnt said nothing n have seen them
Pat Collins livery always looks smart.. part of my teenage years ..in the 70s…great vblog.
Wonderful Video Daz Thank You for taking the time to film that .
Thank you! Not a problem glad you enjoyed it

Believe it or not these guys on the waltzer are rapid at building it up it’s probably almost done in 4 hours.
Brilliant vlog .Well covered. Thanks👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
The sheer skill in these drivers and how they manoeuvre them in sometimes ridiculous tight spaces never ceases to amaze me !!
Agree! It’s great to watch.

It’s only private ground you can’t film there’s no laws for filming in a public place which is what Ilkeston fair is.
They are thick as mince
It's that time of year for all the ilson chavs to be out. Time to stay away I guess
I am glad I wasn't born over there it looks gloomy
Not allowed to film in a public place no more the funfair owns all public land pat Colin's will have a fit if he sees this video UK funfairs rubbish
JOG ON!! You drip! There’s no law stating you can’t film in a public place 😂😂
@@TripsWithDaz it's pat Colin's law and funfair law they own all public parks and towns in the UK ask pat Colin's you drip

@@Benjamin16400 stop posting rubbish about stuff you dont know nothing about.
@@Benjamin16400 fairs have nothing to do with the law, they have no law in place, and they have no right to be above the law. Get your facts straight.
