Classic Dodgems Fun for Rutland Events
Everyone has fond memories of riding the dodgems, and this ever-popular funfair ride is still as much of a draw as it ever was. Wherever you place our tracks, those inimitable lights and sounds instantly create a party atmosphere. Even though the very first bumper car tracks appeared a century ago, this fairground staple has endured while many others have come and gone. It is no doubt because of the fun and excitement they provide, in addition to being a great activity to experience with friends.
Despite some of our traditional dodgems now being real vintage items, they look absolutely brilliant because of how much care we take of them. They look so good with their old school aesthetic that they can provide a great backdrop for photoshoots and videos. Really give your next product launch or fashion show a carnival feel with some classic or modern dodgems. They are also becoming an increasingly popular feature at weddings. You won't believe how good snaps of the bride and groom riding a bumper car together look!
These dodgems are always a hit at:
- Corporate events
- Festivals
- Stag and hen do's
- Charity fundraisers
- Graduation parties
- And anything else!
Dodgem Hire You'll Love
These are large dodgem tracks which can accommodate at least a dozen bumper cars at once, which means that no matter how many attendees your party or event has, everyone will get their turn. While the bumper cars are, of course, all about bumping, we always do everything we can to make sure this is a safe environment for everyone to use. This begins with our entire fleet being insured and safety certificated and goes right up to our trained staff being experts in how to install and operate these dodgems tracks at your event. You'll find that when you hire from We Are Tricycle we think of everything necessary to help you run a really successful party.
We're taking bookings for our dodgems and bumper car tracks across Rutland right now. If you've never ordered from us before, we are always happy to discuss any questions or queries you may have. Just get in touch and a member of our team will be available!
