Funfair rides
Rides that makean event.
The rides a fair is built around: dodgems, a Waltzer and a big wheel, the thrill machines, and the walk-through attractions people go on together. Supplied to festivals, shows and private events across the UK.
Dodgems Hire
Dodgems, bumper cars, dodgem cars: the same ride under any name, and the one a fair is often built around.

Funfair ride hirefor events across the UK.
Funfair rides, fairground rides, fair rides: whichever you call them, these are the attractions that turn a field or a car park into a fair. Dodgems, a Waltzer and a big wheel are the classic trio. The Sizzler, Miami and Freak Out bring the thrill, and the Funhouse and Ghost Train give people something to walk through together.
We supply them one at a time or as a set, to festivals, shows, carnivals, corporate fun days, university events and private parties, on fixed hire or revenue share. Staffing, setup and operating requirements are confirmed for each ride as part of the proposal, and we coordinate the whole line-up so you deal with one company from the first enquiry through to the event itself.
