It's coming: Europe's biggest mobile ferris wheel

EUROPE'S biggest mobile ferris wheel is coming to Mayo.

Westport House has bagged the thrilling attraction, which will add an extra thrill to their carnival, which runs alongside the estate's annual magical Winter Wonderland Christmas experience.

The giant wheel is currently being built and they are working hard to have it up and running for the opening of Winter Wonderland on Saturday, November 26.

As you can see from this snap, it is making stunning historic Westport House look like a little cottage beside it. So imagine the views it will afford over Clew Bay and the Wild Atlantic Way, Westport House estate state, the town of Westport and Croagh Patrick?

You’ll be happy to hear that the gondolas are fully enclosed so you will be able to enjoy the stunning views in comfort, regardless of the weather.

For full details of the giant wheel, carnival, which has lots of fund, and the always wonderful Winter Wonderland, see the Westport House website.
