Carousels and Merry Go Rounds for Hire UK-wide
Merry-Go-Rounds and carousels are an ever-popular addition to all types of events. They are always popular at fetes, carnivals, fairgrounds, festivals and more. Children can't help but get excited when they see a Merry-Go-Round, and will be desperate to have a go themselves.
While the operation and mechanics of funfair carousels are quite simple and familiar, these fairground favourites have enduring popularity. The riders simply mount their chosen horse, and then once the Merry-Go-Round begins to rotate, it moves up and down with a fun motion.
Rent Fairground Merry-Go-Rounds and Carousels for All Ages
Carousels are some of the oldest and most traditional form of fairground entertainment. They've been delighting children since the nineteenth century, and kids today are just as enthralled by them as the Victorians were. However, these funfair rides do not only provide entertainment for the young ones. Our picturesque traditional carousels are large and sturdy enough for all ages to ride. We find adults really enjoy the opportunity to relive their youth and board a vintage Victorian Merry-Go-Round, and this also widens the range of events that these fairground classics are suitable for.
The beauty of traditional carousels means they are becoming very popular for weddings throughout the UK. This is because in addition to the fun that can be had riding them, they look fantastic in photos. With the help of a merry-go-round, you and your guests will be able to create lasting mementos that will be treasured. Pictures of the wedding guests on carousels definitely provides something a bit different for social media accounts!
Modern Children's Merry-Go Round Rides for Hire
While we stock traditional Merry-Go-Rounds that boast a very attractive early-20th Century style, we also have rides which provide a more modern spin on the carousel. For example, we find that the youngest attendees at events absolutely love our Carousel Train Ride. Instead of horses, this offers riders a chance to board a colourful train. Then there is our Toy Town Fairground Ride, which provides a variety of fun toys for the children to zoom around on. Will they choose the alligator, the bus, the lorry, the duck, or something else? It is completely up to them.
Our Carousels also add to the festive fun at Christmas parties and events, looking glorious against the dark winter sky and adding a dramatic and vibrant feel to the event. If you're hosting a Christmas market or any other holiday event, add to the festive feel with one of our glorious vintage merry-go-rounds or other Christmas fairground rides.
