Bohemia Village Voice

The Hellraiser ride at Bohemias annual fair on Thursday.

The funfair is here again. This year the rides are priced at 99p, but on Thursday of this week, the crowds were modest. Most popular attractions seemed to be the ‘Dodgems’, and ‘Hellraiser’ (picture below). Other rides included the ‘Rock O Plane’ (where wire cages in which customers sit are moved round in a large vertical circle and spin independently).

‘Do you wanna go faster?’ yells the Hellraiser loudspeaker – before the speed is increased yet again at Bohemia’s annual fair on Thursday. 
At one of the sideshows, where the object is to hook out a cartoon character with a number on its base, floating in a tank of water, large cuddly toys were guaranteed, even if you lost! The catch, of course, is that no-one loses: you’re guaranteed a prize, even if it’s only a cheap inflatable hammer. A large sign stated that no alcohol was allowed on the fair ground site. The toffee-apples were nice though.
