The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.
Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored.
There is also a replica 1898 Gavioli Band organ in the pavilion.

Entry to The Carousel Pavilion is free. Those wishing to ride the Carousel may purchase a ticket.
Wheelchair access to the Carousel is available via a mobility lift.

We host children’s birthday parties, weddings, wedding photography and corporate functions.
