Dodgems in Nottinghamshire
The Modern Dodgems Track for Hire
The Modern Dodgems is always a cool choice. It has a sleek and modern design using air-brushed artwork that suits our contemporary attractions such as our thrill and white knuckle rides.
The track averages 70ft x 50ft in size, which gives it room for at least 14 cars. Race around in style with a complete lighting and sound package, which produces the classic music that you expect in carnivals and fairgrounds.
Traditional Dodgems Hire in Nottinghamshire
Our Traditional Dodgems evoke a more classic style that suits some of our other vintage funfair and fairground rides for hire. These tracks are either 40ft x 40ft or 60ft x 40ft and have 14 cars minimum. We use a sound package to keep the music going.
Unlike the modern dodgems, the traditional dodgems can be set up indoors as well as outdoors.
The traditional and the modern dodgems both come with ADIPS safety certification as well as method statements and risk assessments. All hires are protected by our full £5 to £10 million public liability insurance policy.
Bumper Cars Nottinghamshire
Bumper Cars are intended for younger kids who might not be ready for the rough and tumble of a dodgems track. The bumpercars and the walls of the track are inflated and bouncy, so there's no tough bumps, but still plenty of space to race and dodge other drivers.

Dodgem & Bumper Cars Hire – Nottinghamshire FAQs

Whether you’re planning a birthday bash in Mansfield or a funfair in Newark-on-Trent, here are some of the questions we’re most frequently asked by customers in the county.
Do you provide dodgem hire throughout Nottinghamshire?
Yes — we deliver across the entire county, including Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark-on-Trent, Retford, Arnold, and beyond. We’ll take care of delivery, setup, and operation wherever your event is located.
Are your dodgems suitable for weddings and private events?
Absolutely! Dodgems are a fantastic addition to weddings, birthdays, and garden parties. We’ve supplied dodgems for countryside weddings near Southwell and big birthday celebrations in Beeston — they always go down a treat.
How much space is needed for dodgems?
You’ll need a level area with enough room for the track, fencing, and access for our equipment. If you’re not sure if your venue is suitable, check out How much space do I need to hire the Dodgems for guidance.
What kinds of dodgems do you offer?
We provide both traditional dodgems for a vintage feel and modern dodgems with contemporary designs and lighting. Each option comes fully staffed and professionally operated.
What’s the difference between dodgems and bumper cars?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are small differences in design and driving purpose. We explain it all clearly in What's the difference between Dodgems and Bumper Cars?
Can younger children enjoy the bumper cars too?
Yes — we offer children’s inflatable bumper cars, which are slower, safer, and ideal for school events and family-friendly occasions. Perfect for younger guests in places like Sutton-in-Ashfield and Bingham.
Are dodgems a safe option for public events?
Definitely. All our rides are fully ADIPS-certified and installed by trained staff. We provide all the necessary safety documentation, including risk assessments. For more details, see How are Dodgems safe?
Can the dodgems be installed inside?
Sometimes — yes. We’ve worked in large halls, marquees, and exhibition centres. It all depends on access and ceiling height. Send us your venue information and we’ll advise on the best setup.
Do you offer hire for longer events or multiple days?
We do! Whether it’s a single-day community festival in Hucknall or a multi-day corporate event in Nottingham, we can create a schedule that suits your plans.
How long is a standard hire session?
Four hours is our usual hire time, but this is flexible. We can accommodate short promotional appearances or full-day festivals.
How do dodgems actually work?
Each dodgem car runs on electricity via a floor or ceiling contact and is operated by a simple steering wheel and foot pedal. For a full explanation, see How do the Dodgems work?
Can we combine dodgems with other attractions?
Yes — we regularly put together packages including funfair rides, custom branded games, and catering stalls. Let us know what kind of experience you’re looking to create and we’ll do the rest.
