Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, History museum in West Devon, United Kingdom
The Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre contained a collection of vintage fairground rides, equipment, and memorabilia from different periods of entertainment history.
The Fairground Heritage Trust, established in 1988, operated from Lifton since 2003 and expanded its facilities with a 25,000-square-foot extension in 2006.
The museum presented mechanical rides from the early 20th century, including a 1930s Edwards' Dodgems and a 1910 Joy Wheel spinning disc.
The museum closed permanently in November 2024, with its collection scheduled for relocation to Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
The collection included a 1938 Shaw's Moonrocket, recognized as the final remaining example of this specific fairground attraction model in existence.
