Yea I went on it last week with herself.
Good laugh @ 3 euro each and it goes around 4 time. They give everyone a chance to get photos and that from the top over looking the city.

Maybe it can be made permanent like the London Eye.

Can't picture them getting too much custom today.

It's closed today, was on 96fm earlier. Would be a terrifying experience in those winds!

Ha,I was having visions of it tearing loose and rolling along crushing people.

Is it open again today ya

It was open yesterday when I walked by there. Looks fairly impressive.
Anyone else disappointed with the market that's around there? Last Christmas there seemed to be much more going on but this time around it seems to just be 7-8 food stalls.

There's a craft market in Emmet Place.

Pizzle

Ah right, will check that out later in the week so. Was wondering why there was so little going on!

They decided to only go with food stalls this year as it was a bit chaotic with all the other stalls last year. Personally I prefer it this year. The Elm Tree Farm stand are doing Angus steak sandwiches ... lovely!

The market is only open at weekends. The wheel is open every day from around 3pm roughly.
