A funfair in Epsom has reopened following an incident where a child was injured after they fell from one of the rides.

On April 3 at around 7.10pm, police were called to Hook Road Arena which was hosting a funfair named “Funpark” at the site.

Two children, a 16-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy, were taken to hospital for an assessment of their injuries that they sustained whilst on a ride.

One was airlifted to a hospital in London and one was taken to St Helier Hospital by road.

Both have since been discharged from hospital with minor injuries.

The ‘Crazy Frog’ ride which was involved in the remains closed at this time until safety checks have been completed.

The funfair itself is now open after being briefly closed by police.

The Heath and Safety Executive has been informed of the incident and explained that at this stage, no investigation has been launched by HSE and they are currently making initial enquiries.

Funfair is describes itself as “one of the UK’S largest travelling theme park” and their Facebook Page says: “You only pay once for unlimited riding on all of our rides here at Funpark.“ With over 25 rides and attractions. Including thrill rides, family rides, children rides, stalls and games.”

Police are asking anyone witnesses, or anyone with video or photos of what happened, to contact the HSE.

Andrew Bircher, Acting Director of Corporate Services at Epsom and Ewell Borough Council said: “Our thoughts and sympathies are with the families of the two children who were injured during the incident at the Hook Road Arena funfair on the evening of Monday 3 April.

"We are glad to hear that their injuries are minor and wish them a swift recovery.

"We can confirm that all appropriate safety checks and paperwork were in place as part of the arrangement for the funfair to rent the land from the Council.

"An investigation into the incident is being led by the Health and Safety Executive, supported by Surrey Police.

"We are working closely with both organisations and the ride in question remains closed until all safety checks have been completed. On the advice of the Health and Safety Executive, the funfair itself remains open.”
