The fairground is home to the Fairground Heritage Trust, a charity which aims to preserve the history of the fairground, including rides, equipment, photography and memorabilia.

Originally known as Dingles Steam Village, the attraction was renamed the Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre for the 2007 season following a new extension in Spring 2006.

In addition to an artefact museum, the attraction includes a working fairground. All of the rides and stalls operate on a token system.

The fairground collection includes rides such as the Joy Wheel, Edwards Dodgems, Edwards’ Super Sonic Skid, Edwards’ Super Chariot Racer, Rodeo Switchback, Brett's Ghost Train, Tuby’s Gallopers, Edwards’ Golden Gallopers[1] and a Moon Rocket[2].
