Stephen and Vicky Postlethwaite have over 40 year's experience of restoration, decoration and operation of fairground items in the traditional style.

Vicky has been trained in wood graining and marbling techniques which have been used in many very different applications. Fairground marbling was passed on to Vicky by Billy Hall, of Hall and Fowle, the highly renowned fairground decorators.

Many beautiful old fairground pieces have been bought back to use in our workshop in south Wiltshire, including the famous Rodeo Switchback, many fairground organs, rides and side stalls. Have a look at our gallery of restoration and painting.
