Said to be "bigger, better, and with more attractions" than last year, the AIA European Carnival is bringing more of the scary rides, better fairground games such as dart throw and hoop tossing to win impossibly big fluffy animals, houses of fun and a maze of mirrors, more kids' rides plus more entertainment - thanks to their partnership with the Udderbelly festival. The AIA European Carnival is fun for the whole family and perfect for a post-holiday activity. Not being brave by any measure, we tried to get on one of the many kids' rides, but were turned away as we were without a child in tow. We settled for the chairs which turned out to be our favourite; the boppy disco tunes made the queuing very tolerable. We leave the scary stuff to you!
