Choosing to host a fairground hire for a community event can be a lot of fun for everyone! Whether it is a one-off event or something that is likely to happen again next year, there is plenty of scope for a fantastic event. Here are some of the things you should take into consideration when planning funfair hire for an event in your community.
Space
One of the first things you need to do is find the right space in the community for the event. You need to know how much space you have at the venue so you can be certain you select the right number of funfair stalls for hire. Only a certain number of stalls or rides can fit in a certain area due to safety concerns and the size of some of the funfair rides.
Many communities have the luxury of a large space where they can set up their funfair. If you do not, you might want to reach out to some members of the community to see if they have a space suitable. For example, a local farmer might be able to offer some of their land for the event.
Access
Another key area you need to consider when planning fairground hire for a community event is access to the site. When you order some of our fairground rides for hire, we will be able to advise you about the size of access point we need to bring your chosen rides into the space you have. Choosing a site with good access will make the set-up and close of the fairground that bit easier for all.
You also need to consider access for members of the public when they visit. Will they be able to easily find the site? Is there adequate parking nearby for the sorts of crowds you might be expecting? The latter is incredibly important when planning a community event. Many people might drive in from all over and you need to make sure that there is always going to be space for them no matter where you might go.
Rides for All
With something like a community event, you need to expect people of all ages to come along. This means that you need to make sure that you have a fantastic range of rides for people of all ages to go on. A community event should be targeted to local families and households. From rides suited to families with toddlers to thrill-seeking teenagers to adults looking to relax and have some fun, you need to ensure you are selecting funfair rides for hire that are going to appeal to everyone.
Luckily, we have a massive range of rides to choose from. We can help you put together the perfect selection of rides that everyone is going to want to go on. From traditional fairground rides and stalls like carousels and ring toss to something a little more thrilling, we have it all!
Amenities
Putting together the perfect fairground is not as simple as choosing the rides, especially when it is for something as crucial as a community event. You also need to consider some of the amenities they need nearby. This usually will entail food and drink and toilet facilities.
If you are setting up in an area that is for community events, chances are there will already be power and toilet facilities nearby that you can use. However, if you are somewhere else, you might need to find something else. Luckily, we can help with generators and other amenities if necessary. We can also provide a selection of fun themed food carts and other stalls if you need help providing food for your event.
