Christmas Funfair FAQs

Christmas is a time for merriment, light, and cheer — and there’s nothing quite like a festive funfair to bring it all together. From sparkling funfair rides and magical Christmas fairground rides to Christmas-themed funfair stalls and games, we provide festive entertainment for Christmas parties and events across the UK. You can even hire Christmas market stalls for retail or themed experiences. Here’s our in-depth FAQ guide to help you plan your seasonal spectacular.

Festive Ride & Stall Choices

What rides are best for Christmas?

Popular choices include classics like Traditional Victorian Carousel, Traditional Dodgems, and Helter Skelter (Illuminated), alongside family options such as Mini Ferris Wheel and Tea Cups Funfair Ride. For a uniquely seasonal twist, we also provide themed funhouses like North Pole Funhouse and slides such as the Bavarian Giant Slide.

What about side stalls?

Stalls become even more magical with festive themes: Feed The Snowman Funfair Side Stall, Ring A Reindeer Funfair Side Stall, Christmas Pudding Shy Funfair Side Stall, and Hook A Christmas Duck Funfair Side Stall are just a few of the favourites. They’re perfect for families and competitive fun.
