  1. Just noticed that the funfair is back. Your comments state that rides are £1 per ride midweek, however, their own website states rides are £1.50 mid week. Information needs clarifying and correct info publishing on either south leeds life website or the funfair website.

      1. The organisers have made the following statement:

        25 of the large rides will be just £1.50 when the fair is open midweek from 1pm until 6pm with visitors encouraged to log on to http://www.valentinesfair.co.uk for free fun fair vouchers which are valid anytime and will reduce the large rides even further during this time to a staggering bargain busting £1 each.
