Carnival Games Hire Nottinghamshire
Fairground favourites for Nottingham, Mansfield, Newark and Worksop
Nottingham is home to one of the country's oldest fairs, so it is no surprise that fairground games are so popular in the county. Our carnival stalls bring a small, easy-to-manage slice of that tradition to your own event. We supply four classic carnival games to Nottingham, Mansfield, Newark, Worksop, Retford, Beeston, West Bridgford, Arnold, Hucknall and Southwell, for schools, universities, councils, businesses, charities and private hosts.
What links carnival games to Goose Fair?
Goose Fair has been held in Nottingham for centuries, and simple games of aim and skill have always sat alongside the rides. Hook a duck, tin cans and hoop games are part of that long story, which you can read more about in our article on the Nottingham Goose Fair. Our Carnival Games range lets you recreate a little of that atmosphere on a school field, in an office car park or on a village green.
Which carnival games can you hire?
- Carnival Game Stall Deluxe - Hook A Duck: a gentle water game for little ones, with an attendant
- Carnival Game Stall Deluxe - Ring Toss: aim hoops over the targets, great for all ages
- Carnival Game Stall Deluxe - Tin Cans: the classic stack of tins on a shelf
- Carnival Game Stall Deluxe - Ball Toss: land a ball in the target zone for a quick, cheerful turn
All four stalls work indoors or outdoors, so they suit a sports hall in winter as well as a park in summer.
Who books carnival games in Nottinghamshire?
Nottingham's universities and colleges use carnival stalls at freshers' fairs, summer balls and wellbeing days, and our University & Fresher's Week range has more ideas for campus events. Schools and PTAs in West Bridgford, Beeston and Arnold book them for summer and Christmas fairs, while community groups in Mansfield, Hucknall and Worksop add them to park fun days, often charging a small amount per turn to raise funds.
Businesses in Nottingham city centre and on the business parks near the M1 book the stalls for staff socials and company fun days. Country house and barn wedding venues around Newark and Southwell also use them on the lawn, subject to the venue's approval.
What do organisers usually ask us?
How much room do the stalls need?
Each stall has a modest footprint, plus space in front for players and anyone waiting. Tell us about your venue and we will suggest a layout that keeps paths clear.
Can the stalls be used for fundraising?
Yes. Many PTAs and charities charge a small amount per turn, and because each go is quick, one stall can see plenty of players over an afternoon.
Can we add festive games for Christmas?
Yes. Seasonal stalls such as the Snow Ball Cans Funfair Side Stall give a winter fair a festive twist.
What happens if it rains?
The stalls can move into a marquee, hall or sports centre. Our Rainy Weather FAQs explain how we plan for changeable conditions.
