Boosting Tourism: Hull Fair’s Legacy and Its Showman’s Spirit

Historic Attractions Light Up Hull Fair

The iconic Hull Fair, hosted at the traditional “Scotch Corner” section, has been a source of wonder and excitement for nearly 60 years. Managed by the longstanding Taylor family, this vibrant fairground staple continues to entertain across generations. David Taylor, age 69, expresses a playful enthusiasm about the fair, stating, “It’s better than going to Tenerife on holiday.”

The Taylor Family’s Global Journey

Renowned for their thrilling rides, the Taylors have captivated audiences worldwide. Among the attractions proudly owned by David are:

  • The Bomber
  • The Waltzer
  • The Miami
  • The Bungee Ride
  • The Twister

In their quest to bring joy worldwide, the Taylor family travels extensively, taking their attractions to places like Iceland, where they’ve entertained for 35 consecutive summers. Additional stops include numerous Caribbean countries and New Zealand. “We’ll go where there’s work; that’s what the big rides are about,” David explained.

A Lifelong Passion for Entertainment

Despite plans to retire at 60, Douglas Taylor, David’s cousin, finds constant fulfillment in his role as a showman. “It can’t be classed as work if you enjoy it,” he stated, reflecting the passion that fuels this generational legacy.
