New attractions have today arrived on Barry Island.
Funfair rides and a kiosk stand have been erected on the promenade. Charles Harris from Gloucester is the site's new operator.
Last week, the Vale of Glamorgan Council confirmed that after twelve years, a new bidder has taken over the location for a minimum period of one year, with the opportunity to extend for a further two years at the discretion of the Council and terminating on 29 February 2024.
After a "competitive tendering process", a Vale of Glamorgan Council spokesperson said: "The concession has recently been re-tendered and, following a diligent assessment process, the current provider on this site has not been re-awarded this concession, due to another bidder being selected.
"Therefore the current attractions are being removed and we anticipate that new attractions will be in place in the coming weeks. We would like to thank the current provider for their excellent service over the past 12 years, which we are very grateful for.
"We hope that residents and visitors will enjoy the new attractions, which will be in place for the next three years, and we look forward to seeing this exciting new offer at Barry Island."
