The owners of a family-run funfair in Nottinghamshire have made the difficult decision to close. Alf and Winona Turvill, who have run the park within Sherwood Forest for more than 60 years, are set to retire this year.
The Sherwood Forest Fun Park in Edwinstowe features classic fairground rides such as the teacups, Astroglide and Tower of Terror. The cost of living crisis has made things more difficult but the family are determined to look on the positive side as Alf and Winona prepare to retire.
In an emotional post on Facebook, Mr and Mrs Turvill wanted to say 'an extremely huge thank you' to everyone who had worked at Sherwood Forest Fun Park or visited over the years. The family wrote on Facebook that they were sharing the news with a 'heavy heart and tears streaming down my cheeks'.
