Fun
Fairground
Craske's Traditional Amusements was started as a hobby in 1992 at Askrigg in the heart of Wensleydale by father and son Andrew and Jeremy Craske. It all started with the purchase of a very derelict 1920's shooting gallery. As this was restored and put into operation the collection started to grow. This now includes approximately ten different stalls and games -some restored and some awaiting their turn.
We are presently operating our 1920's shooting gallery, 1950's roll-a-penny stall (complete with original old pennies), High striker and our 1950's coconut shy (originally built by the Hind family from Northallerton).
Our aim is to present a good old traditional village type family fair of the type that would once have been common throughout the villages of the Yorkshire Dales. We hope that you enjoy it!
Bungee Trampolines
Fantastic fun on the Bungee Trampolines for children from 3 to 99, brought to you by The Bungee Flyers; bounce up to 10 metres in the air in complete safety and control.
Climbing Wall
The Royal Navy and the Royal Marines are bringing a climbing wall to challenge our visitors. The wall is specially constructed with adequate hand-holds and foot-holds, plus full security ropes and harness with full supervision and instruction, to encourage novices to try what is possibly a new activity for them. The Royal Marines will provide their experienced and qualified instructors to allow visitors (young and old) to try their own skill at climbing up to 35ft on the wall.
