A museum that housed the national fairground collection is closing for the final time this weekend.

The Fairground Heritage Trust announced in March the Dingles Fairground Museum in Lifton, on the Devon and Cornwall border, would close in the October half-term.

Trustee Guy Belshaw said there were "a large number of factors" for the closure and the Covid-19 pandemic had been "terrible" for the attraction.

The collection of operational fairground rides will be moved to a new museum in Staffordshire.
