Weather

Ride prices
Tokens, passes and family bundles.
Most rides use our standard paper tokens. Buy them from either red kiosk by cash or card. Major rides also accept contactless payment at the entrance.
Wednesday wristband
Every Wednesday, £22 wristbands cover unlimited repeat rides from 15:00–19:00 on participating attractions. The Meteor, prize games and guest attractions are excluded.
Wristbands are sold on site only and fitted at the north token kiosk.
Getting here
Leave the car if you can.
The Green is an eight-minute walk from Kingston station and is served by several town-centre bus routes. The quickest pedestrian entrance from the station is through Market Parade and along Mill Lane.
Train
Kingston station is approximately 0.4 miles away. Follow signs for Market Parade, then continue south on Mill Lane to the north gate.
Bus
Town Hall and Market Parade stops are the closest. Evening services continue after fair closing on Fridays and Saturdays.
Car & bicycle
There is no public parking on the Green. Use town-centre car parks. Cycle racks are available outside both entrances; bicycles cannot be ridden through the midway.
Accessibility
Making the Green easier to enjoy.
Both public entrances are step-free, and the main midway is laid on firm temporary trackway where the ground is uneven. Accessible toilets are beside first aid, roughly halfway along the east boundary.
The Green Wheel has a wider loading gate and staff can slow boarding where required. Other ride access varies due to evacuation requirements; please speak to the operator before purchasing tokens if you need assistance transferring.
Sunday low-sensory hour
Every Sunday from 10:30–11:30, ride music is reduced or switched off, flashing sequences are limited where controls allow, and the number of operating attractions is intentionally smaller. The session is open to everyone and no reservation is needed.
Assistance dogs
Registered assistance dogs are welcome throughout opening hours. Other well-behaved dogs are welcome before 18:00 but should be kept away from ride loading platforms and food preparation areas.
Useful answers
Before you set off
Do I need to book?
No. General entry is free and walk-in. Special private hire sessions, school groups and community bookings are arranged separately.
Can I bring cash?
Yes. Token kiosks and most food stalls take cash as well as card. Some individual game stalls are card-only after 20:00.
What happens if it rains?
The fair remains open in ordinary rain. Some high rides, the helter-skelter and inflatables may pause if surfaces or wind conditions become unsafe.
Is there first aid?
Yes. The staffed first-aid cabin is on the east side of the Green, opposite the bandstand.
