Funfair Ride Hire in Birmingham
Funfair ride hire in Birmingham: dodgems, a waltzer, a Ferris Wheel and a full junior fleet, all our own stock, delivered staffed from our Rotherham warehouse.
We own a full working funfair and deliver it across the country from our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham. The fleet runs from a Waltzer and two Dodgems rinks through to the Ferris Wheel, the Ghost Train and the 3 Deck Funhouse, with ten children's rides and a full set of side stalls alongside them. Children's rides start at £495 and the big rides run from £945 to £3,950. Every hire comes staffed, insured for £5 million and with the risk assessments your venue will ask for.
Funfair Ride Hire for Birmingham Events
Birmingham is about an hour and a quarter from our Rotherham warehouse via the M1 and M42, covering the B postcodes and the Black Country on the same run.
Amazon's site at Minworth, Sutton Coldfield, just inside the M42, had the dodgems and the Miami ride for its 2025 summer staff event, with marquees, candy floss and popcorn around them. That is a postcode-verified Birmingham big-ride booking, and it is the pattern we would bring to any corporate site in the West Midlands: one or two big rides, a junior fleet, stall rows and fun food, on one delivery.
Birmingham's venue range gives the fleet somewhere to go. The NEC and the city-centre exhibition spaces suit the indoor-friendly parts of the range, the junior fleet and the stall sets; Sutton Park, Cannon Hill Park and the corporate campus grounds take the dodgems and the bigger rides; and the Christmas party season books the Ghost Train and the fun food carts hard.
Our Funfair Rides
This is the full-size fleet, all owned in-house and all deliverable here. Each card carries the from-price; anything marked staffed arrives with our operators for the duration.
Dodgems
Around 75ft by 50ft per rink with six to eight two-seater cars. We own two different sets, so we can supply a double track or cover two events on the same day. From £2,895.
Waltzer
The classic spinning ride, with one of our trained operators on the controls for the full hire. From £2,995.
Ferris Wheel
Roughly 75ft by 50ft of firm, level ground, with branding space on the front sign and the gondola panels for sponsored events. From £2,895.
Sea Storm
One of the largest family rides we move, staffed by our crew and lit for evening events. From £2,995.
Miami Crazy Dance
The full spinning experience on a unit just 45ft long and 15ft wide, which is why it fits sites the bigger rides cannot. From £2,595.

Giant Ski Jump
Six enclosed cars on an undulating circular track with a snowman centrepiece and full perimeter fencing, for children and adults. From £2,895.

Children's Funfair Rides
Ten children's rides complete the funfair. Most fit in about 20ft by 20ft, so halls and small fields both work.
Jumpin Jack
A full-size children's ride on a 75ft by 50ft footprint, our biggest junior attraction. From £995.
Juvenile Tea Cups
The classic cup and saucer spinner for younger children, in about 20ft by 20ft. From £795.

What's Included
- Delivery, setup and collection on our own vehicles
- Trained ride operators on the staffed rides, for the full hire
- £5 million public liability insurance
- Risk assessments and method statements sent to your venue before the event
- Generators from our generator range where the site has no mains power
- Multi-ride and multi-day discounts, quoted per event
A minimum order may apply depending on your event postcode, and the big rides need a site survey before booking: usable space, ground surface, vehicle route, gate widths and overhead cables all matter at this size.
Build a Full Funfair
Most funfair work we do is multi-item. A typical build pairs the Dodgems with a children's ride or two, four side stalls, candy floss and popcorn, and a generator, all on one delivery and one invoice. The stalls are Hook A Duck, Tin Can Alley, Ball-in-the-Bucket and Fish Bowl Challenge at £295 each, and the High Striker test-your-strength game is the same price. Add fun food carts and the fairground smells arrive with the rides.
For a compact event, Fun Fair Package 1 bundles the Giant Helter Skelter, deck chairs, a seaside photo board and the 3-in-1 stall from £1,200 plus VAT. Tell us your budget and your headcount and we will put the funfair together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver funfair rides to Birmingham?
Yes, about an hour and a quarter via the M1 and M42, covering the B postcodes and the Black Country. We have run the dodgems and the Miami at Amazon's Minworth site in the city, and the Christmas and summer calendars bring the lorries west most weeks.
How much space do I need?
The dodgem rink is roughly 75ft by 50ft and the Matterhorn needs a 100ft by 75ft site with safety clearance, so a field, a car park or a showground is the natural home for the big rides. The Miami Crazy Dance works on 45ft by 15ft and the children's rides fit in about 20ft by 20ft each, which is why school halls and sports halls suit the junior fleet. Send us the usable space, the surface, the vehicle route and any gate widths with your enquiry and we will confirm what fits.
What about power?
The Ferris Wheel needs a 16A supply or a 6kW generator, the Matterhorn needs generator power, and the rest of the big rides need three-phase or generator power depending on the site. We carry diesel generators and battery units in our generator range and quote them with the ride at cost, so a field with no mains is not a problem.
Can I book a whole funfair?
Yes, and that is most of our funfair work. One big ride, a couple of junior rides, four side stalls at £295 each, fun food and a generator is the standard build, on one delivery and one invoice. The Fun Fair Package 1 covers the compact version from £1,200 plus VAT, and we quote bigger builds per event.
How far in advance do I need to book?
The big rides go out mostly between May and September, so summer Saturdays book up first, and Christmas runs from late November. A quarter's notice is comfortable for a single ride; for a multi-ride funfair build, the earlier the better so we can schedule the lorries and the crew. It is always worth asking about short-notice availability, because cancellations happen.
