Throughout the year we host some special events and take our travelling show around the country! See where we are this year. The Scarborough Fair Collection hosts a magnificent working collection of Vintage Cars, Steam Engines, Vintage Fairground Rides and Mechanical Organs topped off with a 'Mighty' Wurlitzer Organ in our spacious ballroom.
We are set in the scenic grounds of the Flower of May Holiday Park, on the coast road between Scarborough and Filey. Bump on the bumper cars, re-live a by gone era on the gallopers or take your breath away on the speedway - there is a ride for everyone at The Scarborough Fair Collection.

This was our first visit and we were not disappointed, fantastic range of antique cars , lorrys etc.also the chance to see antique fair ground rides which are all working and only a £1 per ride brought back great memories. If you like a dance then you can go to the tea dance where you waltz the day away.

What a super place this is, a chance to relieve some precious moments of the past. There's a large range of vintage vehicles which includes cars motorcycles and various commercial vehicles. However the best for me was the vintage fair rides which all are in working order and yes you can have a ride for just a £1 There's also a large collection of traveling organs and there amazing to see in action. If that's not enough to whet you're appetite well there's a lovely cafe and oh yes the staff are all marvelous. What a lovely day out I had and I will be returning

Had a great day here with my husband and 3 year old. There's something here for all ages, my daughter particularly loved the miniatures display, fun house mirrors and rides. We really enjoyed going on the rides and the staff were very helpful when I asked if they could start up the Austin car ride for my daughter. Makes a great day out and it's the perfect place to visit on a rainy day.

Despite website saying masks were a personal choice they request visitors to wear, it was insisted upon at entrance. same lady who insisted was then wearing mask on her chin at exit, with visitors and staff… close to her. fire alarm went off and it seemed they had never evacuated before, bottle neck situation leaving, no head count, very disorganised. thankfully it was a false alarm. all in all situations were very badly handled. i could go on...

Came here with the wife and kids for my birthday as we were coming to Scarborough anyway, I'm so glad we came we all had a great time looking at all the displays and the rides available were really enjoyable.
Just remember to bring cash for the rides, we will definitely be visiting again in the future

Absolutely loved this place, vintage fairground rides and various transport through the ages. Various other displays featuring fair ground organs and vintage displays. Café staff were fantastic as they didn't expect such high numbers today and even the rides were being operated longer than advertised. On the day of our visit there was 3 gluten free cake options too.

What a fantastic museum, far exceeded my expectations. Museum was clean and beautifully presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful and obviously enjoyed showing off their exhibits. Museum has vintage fairground rides (which work!) show organs, traction engines, vintage cars and commercial vehicles and more. You must visit if in the area and allow a minimum 2 hours, but easily to spend longer. Thanks.

1st visit here yesterday & loved it, definitely worth visiting. My 6 year old loved the rides (Caterpillar, thriller, carousel, cake walk & bumper cars) was nice seeing the exhibits of all the old fairground things. Staff were friendly & knowledgeable will definitely go again in the future 🙂 & the little stick of rock given to the little 1 on the way out was a bonus!!

Proper great little step back in time. Make sure you take some change for the vintage rides. Great collection of vintage rides, games and vehicles. If you go on the right day they have events in the awesome ballroom there. Fantastic cake and if you fancy something stronger, I spied a bar. Great little hidden gem this one.
