I thought it was better than the bouncy thing at ?2 for 5 minutes. What I noticed about the slide was that the guy running it when we there couldn't remember which child was which so kept on asking people for extra money. Maybe he was just looking after it for someone for 5 minutes.


The best 2 bits of the fayre for us were definitely the free ones (free bouncy castle on the way in and the fire engine).

I think it should be a requirement for next year that the bouncy castles are run by people who at least slightly like children and who aren't running a total rip off. For example the guy who runs the bouncy castles at Crystal Palace park is a really friendly chap - he even smiles at the children and their parents. I meant to say this to the organisers last year after one of the grumpy guys hired for the Goose Green Fair grabbed my daughter really roughly (she'd only just turned 3 at the time and was very shocked and upset).

Didn't make it this year and thought it was just me but was deterred by the thought of spending a fortune on overly short goes on bouncy castles etc by grumpy unfriendly people. Detracts from the fab friendly stall holders.


Whenever Southwark council do their free bouncy castle for tots that is usually fab, well run and v friendly.

CP Park man is really good with the kids and if they're too small to manage, he'll give you money back or tell the woman he works with to out them on the easier one. Was well impressed.


?2 for 5 minutes seems fair to me, but a quid for one go on the slide is a bit much.

Saw the man in charge of the slide having a row with a 10 year old boy who was asking if his friend could go back on as he'd tripped at the top and fallen down rather than slid down. The man just said "go away. NOW!". Think it could have been handled slightly better!!

agree with everyone else. ?2 for 5 minutes seems expensive. we were at cp park for the first time last week - our older one loved the bouncy slide thing - the bloke running it was really friendly and encouraging, when our younger one couldn't manage it he offered to switch her to the smaller bouncy castle. And it was half the price from what i can remember.

On the other hand they both really enjoyed the donkey ride at the fair, and the people helping out were really friendly.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
