Christmas markets have closed, festive lights are coming down, and New Year celebrations are now behind us.
But winter events are far from over. January and February are often some of the most interesting months for
organisers, offering opportunities for more focused, creative and well-planned experiences.
At We Are Tricycle, this is a key planning period. From cultural celebrations and community events to
corporate gatherings and seasonal festivals, we’re already looking forward to helping clients across the UK
make the most of what the rest of winter has to offer through our
Fairground & Funfair Hire services.
Valentine’s Day Events With Broad Appeal
Valentine’s Day has evolved well beyond traditional evening dining. Many organisers now look for shared
experiences that work for couples, friends and families alike. Shopping centres, leisure venues and town
centres increasingly favour daytime and early evening events that encourage people to spend time together.
Thoughtfully chosen attractions from our Fairground Rides range, combined with
traditional games and relaxed layouts, can help create welcoming environments without overwhelming guests.
Classic options from Carousels and
Fairground Side Stalls and Games are particularly well suited to this time of year.
Valentine-themed events also work well within workplaces and universities, where
Company Fun Days | Corporate Events and informal socials help lift spirits during
the quieter winter weeks.
Chinese New Year and Lunar Celebrations
Chinese New Year continues to grow as a major point in the winter calendar, with public celebrations, cultural
programmes and community events taking place across the UK. These events often blend traditional performance,
decoration and food with accessible entertainment for all ages.
We regularly support organisers planning Lunar celebrations through carefully selected attractions, calm
layouts and adaptable entertainment that complements cultural activity rather than competing with it.
Our experience working with Council & LA Events and
Music, Arts & Cultural Events ensures these events feel balanced and well managed.
Catering is also a key part of these celebrations, with organisers often combining traditional food offerings
alongside familiar favourites using our Event Catering Solutions.
Winter Community Events and February Half-Term
February half-term is an important opportunity for councils, shopping destinations and community groups.
Families are actively looking for things to do, but there is often a preference for events that feel manageable,
welcoming and easy to attend.
Compact funfairs, traditional games and smaller ride selections are particularly effective during this period.
Many organisers choose attractions from Small Funfair Rides and
Children's Fairground Rides & Attractions, allowing events to fit comfortably
into town centres, indoor venues and shared public spaces.
Indoor and weather-resilient planning is especially important at this time of year, which is why many events
benefit from solutions offered through All Weather Funfair Hire.
Corporate, University and Early-Year Engagement Events
The start of the year is a popular time for organisations to reconnect teams, welcome new starters and support
wellbeing. January and February events for businesses and universities often focus on interaction rather than
spectacle.
Attractions drawn from Indoor Fairground Games,
Icebreaker Games and
Arcade Game Machines work well in these environments, encouraging conversation
and participation without placing pressure on guests.
Universities and colleges in particular use winter events as part of wider student engagement strategies,
building social connection during what can be a challenging time of year.
Planning Ahead for Spring Starts Now
While winter events are still very much in progress, many organisers are already looking ahead to spring.
Early planning allows for better choice, clearer layouts and smoother delivery across all event types.
Whether it’s a cultural celebration, a community gathering or a corporate event, our team works closely with
clients to design experiences that fit the season, the audience and the available space. You can explore where
we operate via our Areas We Cover page.
The weeks ahead offer plenty of opportunities to create engaging, well-considered winter events. We’re looking
forward to supporting organisers throughout early 2026 with carefully planned, professionally delivered
entertainment that suits the moment.
