The Jolly Boys are back in town this summer for what is expected to be a pretty pukka event.

There will even be several special guest appearances over the course of the exhibition from actors who appeared in the sitcom.

Filmed on location at Dreamland back in August 1989, The Jolly Boys’ Outing saw the whole Only Fools and Horses gang journey from their south London home to the golden Margate Sands.

With classic moments including Denzil’s ‘disease’, the exploding coach, and Del Boy being reunited with Raquel, it became one of the best-loved episodes of the series, which ran from 1981 until 2003.
