Funfair Ride Hire in Leeds
Funfair ride hire in Leeds: 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 Leeds Events
Leeds is about 40 minutes from our Rotherham warehouse via the M1 and M62, a clean motorway run to the LS postcodes, and we deliver across the city from LS1 to LS29 through the season.
Our biggest Leeds booking runs and grows at Amazon's site at Methley, LS26. Three summers running, most recently in 2025, the summer staff fun day has taken the dodgems, the Miami Crazy Dance, the Simulator Experience and a set of juvenile rides including the Tea Cups, the Formula car ride and the Mini Paratrooper, alongside marquees, staging and full stall rows from our wider range. Amazon's LBA5 site in LS15 books the carnival stalls and High Striker for its own events.
That Methley pattern is the Leeds funfair formula: a corporate site with a field or a big car park, one or two big rides, a junior fleet for the families, stalls and food between them. It translates to parkland venues like Bramham Park and Roundhay, school fields, and the university green spaces for freshers and summer ball events.
Our Funfair Rides
All fifteen full-size rides below are our own stock, maintained in the Rotherham warehouse, and every one is available for this area. Prices are the hire-from figures including the crew.
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.

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.

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
A single ride is a centrepiece; a row of attractions is a funfair. The pattern we supply most often is one big ride, two children's rides, a run of stalls and a food cart. The 3 in 1 Sports Stall, Darts and Clowning Around throwing game are £295 each, the Ultimate High Striker LED tower is £795, and the Grand Carnival Fun Fair Stalls at £995 dress a whole row of traditional stalls for bigger events.
Sweeten it with candy floss, popcorn and hot dog carts, power it from our generator range, and the whole thing arrives on our lorries with one crew and one invoice. Fun Fair Package 1 covers the compact version from £1,200 plus VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does funfair ride hire cost in Leeds?

Do you deliver funfair rides to Leeds?
Yes, around 40 minutes via the M1 and M62, covering LS1 to LS29 and out to Wetherby and Boston Spa. We deliver to Leeds weekly with the wider range, and the ride lorries do the same run, including the recurring summer booking at Amazon's Methley site.
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 children ride?
On the big rides it varies: the Twister, Giant Ski Jump, Runaway Train and Race a Rama take children and adults, and the dodgems are all-ages. For younger children the junior fleet is purpose-built: Tea Cups, Chair O Planes, Flying Planes, Mini Waltzes and Jump and Smile, from £495. Most junior rides need about 20ft by 20ft and a 12ft ceiling, so they work indoors at schools and community halls as well as outdoors.
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.
