End of an era as popular fairground to close at well-known Sheffield park
Well known Sheffield fairground operator loses contract
A beloved attraction at a Sheffield park is set to leave after decades entertaining young visitors.
The family business Pullins have been running rides and slides at Endcliffe Park since the 1980s, but has been told it will have to leave.
The company has lost the contact to run the activities, which is understood to be awarded by Sheffield Council.
The attractions include a bouncy castle and a huge inflatable slide, located between the playground and the cafe.
Pullins said in a statement on social media: “We are very saddened to announce that we have not been awarded the contract to continue running the rides at Endcliffe Park into 2027.
“We will continue to run our eight-generation small Sheffield family business at Endcliffe Park until November 2026.
“Thank you for all the support you have given us over the past 40 years, we wish there could have been more.“
Jon Pullin’s amusement’s describe themselves online as Sheffield's most famous/loved children's traditional funfair rides, and run by Sheffield's favourite showman, with the longest rides and the best value for money.
Sheffield Council has been approached for comment.
