A mesmerising exhibition is set for display in Waterford during the Winterval Festival with a showcase of an entire twinkling and movement-filled display of model Fairground rides and Circuses hosted by collector Pat Flynn.

The free exhibition features every possible miniature fairground ride, ticket booth, set of festoon lighting, merry-go-round and even tiny bumper cars and candy floss sitting on a twinkly table doling out tinny musical notes. Its creator and collector is Pat Flynn from Waterford City who has been collecting and building model fairground pieces and model circus items along with Corgi and Diecast models since his childhood.

Pat’s personal collection includes some unique and very rare pieces and models featuring an entire range of rare and beautiful circuses including Chipperfield’s Circus, French Circus Pinder, and Irish circuses Fossett's, Duffy’s, & Gerbola.

The exhibition will be open each day of the Winterval festival which takes place on weekends (Fri to Sun) from November 17th to December 15th from which date it will take place daily until December 23rd. Entry to the exhibition will be free of charge and Pat will be on-site to answer any questions and offer festival-goers some information about his world of circuses and funfairs on display throughout Winterval.
