Funfair & Fairground Hire for Military & Armed Forces Events
Military and Armed Forces events often combine ceremony with celebration — and few things bring people together like a traditional fairground. Our fairground & funfair hire services are available for bases, regimental family days, open days and commemorative gatherings across the UK.

We supply a full range of family funfair attractions & rides, children’s fairground rides & attractions, and thrill & white knuckle funfair rides, making it easy to cater for every visitor. Popular choices for Armed Forces events include:
Every attraction is installed and supervised by qualified operators to meet the strictest safety standards.
Community and family-focused military celebrations
Whether you’re hosting an Armed Forces Day celebration, a regimental anniversary or a public show at a base, we can provide everything from fairground side stalls and games to food carts & bars. Our team specialises in setting up compact layouts that work on parade grounds, open fields and car parks — creating a bright, safe and welcoming environment for personnel, families and the wider community.
Themed and heritage touches
For traditional events or heritage displays, our traditional & vintage fairground rides & attractions such as the Traditional Victorian Carousel and Helter Skelter (Illuminated) add nostalgic charm that suits formal occasions and open days.
We can also supply carnival décor and event furniture & décor to complete the look, helping to transform even the most functional space into a lively fairground setting.
Our experienced event team operates nationwide, delivering to bases and venues from West Midlands and Greater Manchester to Wales and Scotland. We coordinate with on-site security and logistics teams to ensure all access, setup, and breakdown procedures meet your operational requirements.
FAQs: What types of funfair rides are suitable for military events?
A mix of family funfair attractions & rides, children’s fairground rides & attractions, and thrill & white knuckle funfair rides usually works best. Many organisers choose traditional centrepieces such as the Traditional Victorian Carousel, or something faster like the Super Star and Extreme & Orbitor to appeal to adults and service personnel.
Can you provide rides for events held on military bases?
Yes. We regularly work with Armed Forces units at bases across the UK. Our experienced team handles security clearances, delivery protocols and on-site coordination to meet all MOD access requirements.
Do you provide staff to run the rides and stalls?
Absolutely. Every fairground ride and side stall is staffed by trained and uniformed operators. We manage set-up, operation and pack-down so your team can focus on the event itself.
Are your rides and attractions fully insured?
Yes. All equipment comes with full public liability insurance, ADIPS certification and maintenance documentation. Safety is at the heart of every fairground & funfair hire we deliver.
How much space do you need for a fairground setup on a military site?
This depends on the mix of rides and attractions. Smaller setups such as fairground side stalls and games or food carts & bars can fit into compact areas, while larger rides like Ferris Wheels or Freak Out Hire require open ground. We can create a scaled layout plan to suit your available space.
Can you provide catering and refreshment options?
Yes. We supply everything from food vending tricycles to Bavarian Swing Grill – German Sausage and Christmas Market Stalls. All food and drink services are operated by licensed caterers with hygiene certification.
What areas do you cover?
We operate nationwide, serving bases and event venues across West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Wales, Scotland and beyond. Wherever your Armed Forces celebration is held, we can deliver and install on time.
How far in advance should I book?
Military and Armed Forces events often have fixed calendars, so booking early is recommended. Six to twelve months ahead is ideal, especially during the summer or around Armed Forces Day.
