Core categories: School Events · University & Fresher's Week

Safety & Supervision

Are your rides safe for children?: Yes. Attractions such as Children's Fairground Rides & Attractions (including Tea Cups Funfair Ride and Toy Town Merry-Go-Round) are purpose-built for younger audiences. Each ride is fully tested and complies with UK safety standards as detailed in What are the UK's safety standards for fairgrounds?.
Do you provide staff for supervision?: Every attraction comes with trained operators. For larger school fairs, teachers or volunteers can assist with queue management, supported by our staff’s safety guidance (see How to Keep Children Safe at Fairgrounds).
What about accessibility?: We work to ensure inclusivity for all. Options like Indoor Fairground Games and Electronic & Digital Games are ideal for mixed ability groups, alongside support measures covered in Disabled Accessibility and Inclusivity at Funfairs & Fairgrounds.

Indoor & Outdoor Flexibility

What if the weather is poor?

We offer plenty of indoor-friendly games like Chaos Strike A Light | 4 Player, The Vault and Giant Connect 4. For rainy-day planning, see Rainy Weather FAQs.

Can you set up in school halls or student unions?

Yes. Indoor Funfair Fun and Arcade Game Machines are compact and versatile, perfect for gyms, halls and indoor arenas. Options like Dance Machine and Batak Pro are student favourites.

Educational & Community Value

Beyond fun, many activities tie into skills-based learning. Sports Games encourage teamwork, Science Events inspire curiosity, and Puzzles sharpen problem-solving. These games work well for enrichment days, open days and community fairs.

Quick FAQs

Can we hire for daytime only?: Yes. Schools often book for half-day or full-day events, while universities frequently run evening sessions during fresher’s week.
Do you provide insurance?: Yes, all equipment is fully insured. We also handle risk assessments, working with organisers to cover safeguarding requirements.
Can students help run stalls?: For community-style events, yes—classic stalls like Hook A Duck Side Stall or Tin Can Alley Side Stall can be co-staffed by students under supervision.
