The Llandudno Victorian Exchange, held on the main streets of the town, describes itself as “Wales’ largest free family event”

A five-year-old girl was taken to hospital after an incident involving a helicopter funfair ride.

It took place at the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza at 10:15 BST on Saturday and the child is now “in a stable condition”, according to the organisers.

Chris Williams, director of Llandudno Community Events Cic, said an investigation by the ride operator found it had been caused by “human error”.

The Llandudno Victorian Exchange, which ran from Saturday until Monday, described itself as “Wales’ largest free family event”.

Following the incident, which involved two children, the operator was permitted to “continue operating”, according to Mr Williams.

But he said the ride was closed to the public for the remainder of the event “out of respect” for the family.

The parents said “it could have been a lot worse”, Mr Williams added.

“We wish the family a speedy recovery from the incident and are here to support them in any way we can.”

The Welsh Ambulance Service said one ambulance was sent to Mostyn Street at about 10:20 and the child was taken to hospital shortly after.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said it “was aware” of the incident and attended the scene to conduct an investigation.

North Wales Police said patrol officers attended the incident and the girl’s family sought medical attention for her at a nearby first aid station.

“Officers have informed Health and Safety Executive officials, who are now leading the investigation into the circumstances of the incident,” the force added.
