[[Mrs Plenty's Carnival]] is located between [[Spite]]<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Tell_fortunes|Tell fortunes|Fallen London|}} ''"You set up a stall in Spite, far enough away from the Carnival [...]"''</ref> and the [[Prickfinger Wastes]].<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Learn_the_way_to_another_part_of_the_city|Learn the way to another part of the city|Fallen London|}} ''"Mrs Plenty's Most Distracting Carnival, on the edge of the Prickfinger Wastes."''</ref> It is owned and managed by the one and only [[Mrs Plenty]],<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Have_a_chat_in_the_shadow_of_the_wheel|Have a chat in the shadow of the wheel|Fallen London|}} ''"Catch Mrs Plenty when she nips around the side of the wheel for a smoke.

But it's a gamble. A single misstep can be [[Mrs Plenty's Carnival|most distracting]].<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Go.|Go.|Fallen London|}} ''"Are you in time? Or was this whole thing some twisted joke?" (Wake up.)''</ref>

The Carnival's stalls require tickets for admittance,<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Buy_tickets_to_the_Carnival|Buy tickets to the Carnival|Fallen London|}} ''"The carnival stalls accept tickets. They must be purchased, or exchanged for secrets."''</ref> which are purchased with moon-pearls for the price beyond price. Admit one.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Pearls_beyond_price_are_the_price|Pearls beyond price are the price|Fallen London|}}''"They will spill from your hands like foam."''</ref>

=== The Big Top ===

The '''Big Top''' is the grandest tent at the Carnival. It is completely empty. Performing onstage will draw jeers and mockery from no one.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/PERFORM|PERFORM|Fallen London|}}''"You range the tent from side to side, leaping like an ape, ripping banners, heaping up furniture. Jeers rise from the empty seats. Your efforts impress no one. That is the fate of all who dance here."''</ref>

=== The Sideshows ===

The '''Sideshows''' are the less grandiose tents found near the Carnival's outskirts. They feature the [[Big Rat]]<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Speak_with_the_Big_Rat|Speak with the Big Rat|Fallen London|}}''"It shakes its borrowed face sadly, and your eyes roll in their sockets. "I'm a complicated creature, certainly. But you might have made the effort." You do not part as friends."''</ref> and the [[Eater-of-Chains]].<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Speak_with_the_Eater-of-Chains|Speak with the Eater-of-Chains|Fallen London|}}''"So many chains, still," it growls. Its voices is the rasp of file on iron. "I will gulp them like sausage-links. You may watch me if you wish."''</ref> Neither has much to say.

There is also a [[Bestiary#Fungus-Column|fungus-tower]] here. Further inquiries are welcomed. ''(Ouch.)<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Speak_with_a_fungus-tower|Speak with a fungus-tower|Fallen London|}}''"You pat its flank affectionately, and it exudes enough digestive fluid to raise stinging welts up your whole arm. Perhaps later, when it's learnt some manners."''</ref>''

=== Refreshments ===

The '''Refreshment Pavilion''' offers many interesting foods and drinks. Visitors may consume raw meat, fungi, nearby poles, their own memories and limbs...<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Gorge_yourself|Gorge yourself|Fallen London|}}''"The more you eat, the more you need. Your belly gnaws at you as you gnaw at raw meat, fungus, tent-poles, fresh cats, childhood memories, your own limbs. Perhaps you should continue."''</ref>

=== Carnival Games ===

The '''Games Tent''' hosts many games of both skill and chance. But only one seems to be played here right now. The [[Red-Handed Queen]] is in a chess match with the [[The Beleaguered King|Beleaguered King]]: a rather long match, mind you.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Watch_a_chess_match|Watch a chess match|Fallen London|}}''"The Beleaguered King is playing the Red-Handed Queen. Each takes their time. It promises to be a long match."''</ref>

'''Beneath the Neath''' is a partially submerged Ferris wheel that takes passengers into a cavern below the Carnival. ''Most'' passengers return.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/BENEATH_THE_NEATH_(SMEN)|BENEATH THE NEATH (SMEN)|Fallen London|}}''"The carnival's big wheel lowers brave customers into the earth. It almost always brings them back, too."''</ref>

But the sign has changed. Now the ride takes passengers far above, where <span style="background-color: purple">[REDACTED BY THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC DECENCY]</span>.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/ABOVE_THE_NEATH|ABOVE THE NEATH|Fallen London|}} ''"You realise that the sign has changed; and that the wheel now ascends into the roof of the cavern, far above the false-stars. It would return you to the Surface, where the sunlight would shrivel you like a slug."''</ref>

The '''House of Mirrors''' is an unpopular attraction in an ignored part of the Carnival. It contains many labeled mirrors with unique, often dangerous, properties.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_House_of_Mirrors_(SMEN)|The House of Mirrors (SMEN)|Fallen London|}} ''"The House of Mirrors squats like an ape in a quiet corner of the carnival. Strange mirrors are labelled in a neat, scholarly hand. It is not a popular attraction."''</ref>
