Modern Funfair Hire UK
Our Modern Funfair Hire category is designed for events that want the excitement of the fairground without a traditional or vintage look.
This style of funfair focuses on contemporary rides, digital games and visually clean attractions that feel current, flexible and well suited
to modern venues.
Modern funfairs are especially popular for city-centre events, universities, corporate socials, shopping destinations and large indoor spaces.
They work just as well as standalone installations or as part of wider event programmes delivered through our
Fairground & Funfair Hire services.
What Makes a Funfair “Modern”?
A modern funfair is less about nostalgia and more about impact, interaction and adaptability. Attractions in this category are chosen for their
clean presentation, LED lighting, fast engagement and ability to fit into contemporary event environments.
You’ll typically see a mix of high-energy rides, interactive challenges and digital or arcade-style games drawn from our
Fairground Rides,
Electronic & Digital Games and
Competitive Games ranges.
This approach makes Modern Funfair Hire particularly effective for:
- Urban and city-centre events
- University and student-focused programmes
- Corporate socials and brand-led experiences
- Shopping centres and mixed-use developments
- Indoor venues and exhibition halls
Rides and Attractions for Contemporary Events
Modern funfairs often feature visually striking rides and attractions that stand out without relying on traditional fairground theming.
These may include thrill rides, mid-level attractions and compact installations that suit tighter footprints.
Many organisers combine headline rides with interactive attractions from categories such as
Extreme Sports Simulators,
Multiplayer Games and
Arcade Game Machines, creating an event that feels energetic but well balanced.
For mixed-age audiences, modern family-friendly options from
Family Funfair Attractions & Rides can be incorporated without shifting the overall look away from a contemporary style.
Ideal for Corporate, Brand and University Events
Modern Funfair Hire is frequently used for professional and semi-formal environments where presentation matters.
Corporate clients often pair modern rides and games with services from
Company Fun Days | Corporate Events and
Brand Activations, using attractions as social focal points rather than purely traditional entertainment.
Universities and colleges also favour this style of funfair, particularly for freshers’ events, winter socials and end-of-term celebrations.
Interactive games and simulators from Icebreaker Games help encourage participation without forcing it.
Indoor, Outdoor and All-Weather Flexibility
One of the strengths of a modern funfair setup is flexibility. Many attractions in this category can be installed indoors or outdoors,
making them suitable for exhibition halls, shopping centres, covered courtyards and temporary structures.
Where weather is a concern, modern attractions can also be planned as part of
All Weather Funfair Hire, allowing events to go ahead with confidence throughout the year.
Our Modern Funfair Hire service is available across the UK. We regularly deliver events in major cities, regional centres and smaller towns,
working with local authorities, venues, businesses and institutions.
