Dingles Fairground Museum, formerly known as Dingles Steam Village and Fairground Heritage Centre, was a museum that featured a collection of historical fairground rides, equipment, and other memorabilia. Located in Lifton, Devon, United Kingdom, the museum was operated by a charity called the Fairground Heritage Trust and first opened to the public in 2003. The rides were restored and placed into operation for guests to experience, with many dating back to the early 20th century, complete with original artwork. The museum closed in November 2024.
