A bitter £10 million inheritance dispute has erupted within the Manning family, involving Joseph Manning Snr, 65, and his two sons, Clayton, 33, and Joseph Jr, 43, over control of their funfair business, including the flagship Old MacDonald’s Farm in Essex. The brothers are suing their father for allegedly violating inheritance agreements and engaging in violent and disruptive behavior, including threats to damage company property. Joseph Snr denies the accusations, claiming his sons were the aggressors in altercations. The legal battle has escalated to court, with the brothers seeking an injunction to prevent their father’s interference in the business.
