Sadly, Covid-19 put paid to plans for the 2020 season and 2021 had to be shortened, but TGR is still clearly a much-loved feature of our seafront, and the generosity of residents and visitors alike has continued to be amazing!
Our thanks to all!

Summer 2019 - The Telly-Go-Round Exhibition is here!!! for 6 weeks only.
See how it works, read how a lighthouse turned into
the Telly-Go-Round, have fun with our TGR tokens,
help the kids with our quiz, guess who is missing,
colour in your favourite
characters and much more ….
Well done to alll involved in getting the Telly-Go-Round puppets, fences drums and exterior painted, upgrade and out on time this year. A special thank you to Nigel Isom, who amongst other things not only overhauled the internal wiring and mechanisms but set a drum up for the exhibition, (not an insignificant achievement!).

more Like any piece of equipment, TGR needs regular maintenance during the season on the seafront, and more major off-season works. This page is intended as an update to the more detailed 2003 history from its "˜founder"™, Barrie Smith.
back The Telly-Go-Round which is placed on the sea front from Easter until the autumn each year has been giving pleasure to many in the 53 seasons since 1967. It also raises funds for our charities - a record of over £6,000 in both 2018 and 2019 seasons.
