How to Choose the Right Funfair Rides & Games

funfair rides and games for hire - choosing the right ones

Planning an event, whether it's a corporate event, a birthday party, or a funfair for the whole community, doesn't have to be a hassle! Just take care to picking the right equipment and you should enjoy plenty of fun at your next big special occasion.

At We Are Tricycle, we offer a wide range of funfair rides, fairground games and event equipment. Make sure you get all you need with us; just consider the following.

1. Understand Your Audience:

Age Group: If the majority of your attendees are children, consider items like inflatables or arcade games. For an older audience, vintage funfair rides or traditional funfair stalls might be more appropriate.
Interests: Are they inclined towards physical activities or strategic games? Gauging your audience's likes can guide your selections.

2. Event Size and Venue:

Space Constraints: Make sure the chosen equipment fits comfortably within your venue, ensuring ample space for movement. For instance, a dance machine might require more room than a tabletop game. If you're hosting an event outside, please consider any overhead obstacles such as tree branches or power cables.
Indoor vs Outdoor: Some equipment is versatile, but certain items might be best suited for indoors or outdoors. Ensure your selection is appropriate for your venue.

3. Theme and Ambiance:

If your party revolves around a particular theme, like a retro fair or a Christmas event, opt for equipment that aligns with and enhances this theme. For instance, Christmas market stalls or Christmas funfair games would perfectly suit a festive day for the family.

4. Duration of the Event:

For lengthier events, consider equipment that ensures prolonged engagement, such as roller coasters or fun houses. Short events might benefit from quick, exhilarating games that cycle through participants swiftly.

5. Budget Considerations:

While it's tempting to opt for the best, it's essential to strike a balance with your budget. We Are Tricycle offers options across varied price points, ensuring top-notch entertainment without overspending.

6. Accessibility and Inclusivity:

Ensure your chosen equipment is suitable for everyone, including attendees with disabilities. For more on this, see our guide on Accessibility and Inclusivity at Funfair Events.

7. Technical Requirements:

Certain equipment might demand specific power supplies, connectivity, or technical setups. Make sure your venue can accommodate these.

8. Feedback and Reviews:

Go for equipment that's received positive reviews from other event organisers. Testimonials can give insights into the equipment's user-friendliness, popularity, and reliability.

9. Prioritise Safety:

The safety of your attendees should always come first. Ensure your chosen equipment meets safety standards and, if necessary, provide any needed safety gear or measures.

Choosing the right equipment can transform your event from average to extraordinary. With a solid grasp of your event's objectives and your guests' preferences, combined with the diverse choices at We Are Tricycle, you're poised to orchestrate a standout day out.
