Only Fools and Horses exhibition readies for opening at Margate's Dreamland
POSTED 24 May 2016 . BY Tom Anstey
The project is based on the 1989 Christmas Special
Heritage theme park Dreamland is about to unveil its new Only Fools and Horses exhibition themed around an episode of the show filmed nearly 30 years ago.

Featuring a range of props and costumes from the cult BBC series, Only Fools and Horses: The Jolly Boys Exhibition includes a range of items and displays such as Del Boy’s flat, the bedroom and the iconic Reliant Regal Supervan III.

Taking place in Dreamland's 1920s-built Ballroom and Foyer, the exhibition is based on the 1989 Christmas Special, titled “Jolly Boys Outing”, where Del, Rodney, Uncle Albert and their friends travelled down to Margate and visited Dreamland, riding the iconic Scenic Railway.

The exhibition debuts on 28 May, running through to 5 June. As part of the opening celebrations Sue Holderness (Marlene) and John Challis (Boycie) will be on-hand to meet guests through the bank holiday weekend.
