It has been a long winter but signs of Spring are starting to emerge.

While many will look out for daffodils, snowdrops of frogspawn, to signify the changing of the season, another sure-fire sign is the opening of the funfair at Clarence Pier. The funfair opened at the start of March and included a brand-new Big Wheel which is sure to provide entertainment and great views all summer long.
