Scale & Attractions

What rides work best for festivals?

Large showpieces like Big Funfair Rides (Giant Ferris Wheel, Traditional Dodgems, Modern Waltzers) create instant impact. Paired with Fairground Side Stalls and Games, they offer variety for different ages.

Do you provide smaller attractions too?

Yes. Small Funfair Rides, Indoor Fairground Games and Garden Games keep families and quieter corners entertained, balancing the festival mix.

Crowd Flow & Safety

How do you manage large crowds?: We work with organisers on layouts, using Crowd Barrier Fences, clear signage and queue-busters like Icebreaker Games. For detailed tips, see How to Manage Queues at Funfairs.
Are there safety checks for large events?: Yes. Every ride is tested and certified, with on-site checks daily. Guidance is taken from How to Perform a Funfair Ride Risk Assessment and How Funfair Rides are Tested for Safety.

Weather & Outdoor Planning

Festivals are usually outdoors, so we prepare for all conditions. Covered options such as Indoor Funfair Fun can be used in marquees, and wet-weather guidance is available in Rainy Weather FAQs. Seasonal planning also includes Autumn Funfair Hire and Summer Funfair Hire.

Catering & Facilities

Food is a festival highlight. Event Catering Solutions range from Burgers & Fries and Loaded Hot Dogs to global flavours like Chinese Noodles. Bars and drinks stations are provided via Food Carts & Bars. Seating, décor and Picnic Benches complete the setup.
