Dodgem & Bumper Cars Hire – Shropshire FAQs
Dodgems are always a crowd favourite — and they’re ready to race into your event anywhere in Shropshire. From school fêtes in Shrewsbury to weddings near Ludlow or corporate events in Telford, our Dodgems and Bumper Cars add energy and excitement to every occasion. Here are some questions we’re often asked by customers in your region.
Do you cover all areas of Shropshire with your dodgem hire service?
Yes! We deliver across the entire county — including Telford, Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Market Drayton, and surrounding villages. Wherever you are, we’ll get the dodgems to your site and set them up safely.
Can you install dodgems indoors at Shropshire venues?
In some cases, yes. If your venue has the space, height clearance, and access for equipment, we can install dodgems indoors. We’ve worked in exhibition centres and sports halls before — just contact us with the details and we’ll advise.
How long is the standard hire duration?
Our typical hire period is four hours, but we’re happy to adjust this to suit your event — whether it’s a short school fun day in Wem or a weekend celebration in Ironbridge.
What types of dodgems are available to hire?
We offer both modern dodgems with lighting effects and smooth performance, and traditional dodgems for a vintage funfair aesthetic. We’ll help you choose based on your theme and space.
Can younger children use the bumper cars too?
Absolutely. We offer inflatable bumper cars for children, which are ideal for primary school-age kids and can even be set up indoors. They’re great for smaller events and family areas.
What do we need to provide on-site?
We’ll need a flat, accessible surface and enough space for the track, fencing, and ride vehicles. Power supply is helpful, but we can also bring generators. For full specs, check out How much space do I need to hire the Dodgems?[/]
Are dodgems safe for public use?
Yes. All of our rides meet ADIPS safety standards and include risk assessments, trained staff, and ongoing checks. Find out more about our safety processes in How are Dodgems safe?[/]
Do you offer dodgems for weddings, birthdays, or private events?
We do! We’ve delivered dodgems to countryside weddings near Ludlow, birthday parties in Bridgnorth, and private estates across Shropshire. They’re a show-stopping feature at any party.
What’s the difference between dodgems and bumper cars?
They’re very similar — but there are a few differences in how they’re operated and who they’re aimed at. For a full explanation, read What's the difference between Dodgems and Bumper Cars?[/]
Can dodgems be part of a larger funfair package?
Absolutely. Many Shropshire clients book them alongside funfair rides, custom branded games, or food stalls. We’ll put together a custom package to match your event’s style and budget.
How are the dodgems powered and steered?
Each car runs on electricity, drawn from either the floor or ceiling, and is operated using a steering wheel and pedal. If you're curious about the mechanics, take a look at How do the Dodgems work?[/]
Do you offer multi-day or touring hire options?
Yes — we can provide dodgems for multi-day festivals, touring campaigns, or fairs. We’ll handle all the logistics, setup, and breakdown across multiple dates and locations.
