Site Layout & Placement

How do you decide where rides go?

We map the site carefully, balancing big attractions like Big Funfair Rides with family-friendly Family Funfair Attractions & Rides. Key walkways stay clear and high-footfall games like Fairground Side Stalls and Games are placed where queues can be managed effectively. Guidance: How to Place Funfair Rides Around the Site.

Do you need a lot of space?

It depends. Compact rides like Tea Cups Funfair Ride fit in smaller venues, while major features such as Giant Ferris Wheel require significant clearance. We provide detailed footprint plans before installation.

Queues & Crowd Flow

How do you manage queues?: We use barriers, clear signage and queue-buster attractions such as Icebreaker Games. Popular options like Chaos Strike A Light | 4 Player and The Vault keep waiting guests engaged. See How to Manage Queues at Funfairs.
Can you prevent overcrowding?: Yes. Our stewards manage entry points, and rides operate on set cycles to keep flow steady. Wider walkways and designated rest areas like Relax & Chill Out Zones reduce bottlenecks.

Health, Safety & Risk

Do you carry out risk assessments?

Yes. Every attraction is risk-assessed in line with How to Perform a Funfair Ride Risk Assessment. We also work closely with local authorities to meet regulatory standards.

What about emergencies?

Emergency plans are in place for every event, including evacuation routes and staff training. For more, see What to do in a Funfair Emergency.

Insurance & Legal Requirements

Do you provide insurance?: Yes. All rides and attractions carry full public liability insurance. Certification documents can be supplied to venues or councils on request.
Do you handle licences and permits?: Yes. Where licences are required (for road closures, alcohol sales or amplified music), we can liaise with the local authority and support applications.

Staffing & Operations

Every ride is staffed by trained operators. Larger events may also include additional roles such as stewards, queue managers and catering staff. We can also supply decor and facilities such as Carnival Decor and Picnic Benches to complete the setup.

Quick FAQs

How early do you arrive for setup?: Typically the day before, but smaller attractions can be installed on the morning of the event. Setup times vary by ride size and access routes.
Can you work in restricted spaces?: Yes. Many attractions such as Small Funfair Rides are designed for tighter layouts, including urban or school sites.
Do you supply power and lighting?: Yes. We can bring generators and lighting towers if required, following the guidelines of Fairground Electrical Safety Regulations.
