Research - Cullens Fun Fair, Derry, 'Not All Fun and Games'


On a recent trip back to my hometown, Derry, I was able to access a travelling funfair, ‘Cullen’s’  as it was just about to be opened. It was a great chance to see the hard work and graft that goes into making the fun fair, well, ‘fun’. I was attracted to the high-vis vests and waterproof work wear of these rough ‘n’ ready workers. I am interested in exploring this side of the fair further. Instead of going for the obvious bright lights and show costumes of the circus, perhaps I could look instead at the durable work wear of those who construct the rides and the tents.
