A TRAVELLING theme park will visit Catterick Garrison next month, complete with fairground rides.

The event will be held next to the Tesco's supermarket from Wednesday, September 4, to Sunday, September 8.

It will feature "white knuckle" rides, waltzers, dodgems and more, from 5pm to 9pm, Wednesday to Friday, and 1pm onwards on the Saturday and Sunday.

Organiser Paul Evans, of P and LA Evans Family Funfairs, of Shildon, County Durham, says it will be very safe for youngsters because the car park has been hired from the Army and is securely fenced.

Alpha Radio's roadshow will also be at the event.

Anyone wishing to find out more about the event can telephone Mr Evans on 07836 350507.
