Funfair Ride Hire in Nottingham
Funfair ride hire in Nottingham: 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 Nottingham Events
Nottingham is about 40 minutes south of our Rotherham warehouse down the M1, covering NG1 to NG24 and the Mansfield, Warsop and Newark patches of Nottinghamshire on the way.
Nottinghamshire is our strongest funfair county. Nottinghamshire Scouts have had us at their Newark Showground camp in 2024 and again in 2026: the dodgems, the Chair O Planes and the Twister, with Saturday and Sunday evening extensions on the dodgem track for a multi-day camp of thousands. The Walesby Forest scout camp has booked the chair-o-planes and our stalls for its own events.
The county's corporate calendar books the same way. Amazon's sites at Sutton-in-Ashfield and Eastwood have had the dodgems, the Chair O Planes and full stall sets for summer staff events, Decathlon at Giltbrook had the Simulator Experience and the High Striker in 2025, and Portland College in Mansfield books the stall rows. Kelham Hall and the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre have both run our fairground games.
That is the range of funfair work in one county: a multi-day scout camp at a showground, corporate fun days at fulfilment sites, college rewards days and council events. Whatever end of that scale your event sits at, we have run the pattern locally.
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.
Twister
Bench cars on three rotating sweeps, suitable for adults and children, on a 65ft by 65ft site. From £2,895.
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.

Three floors of walkthrough obstacles and an enclosed spiral tube slide, on a 100ft by 75ft site, staffed. From £3,950.

Simulator Experience
A full motion simulator ride that travels on its own lorry, staffed by our crew. Quoted by the office because of the access and power it needs. From £2,495.
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
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 Nottingham?
Children's rides start at £495, the dodgems are £2,895 a rink, the Twister is £2,895 and the big rides run to £3,950. Multi-day bookings, the format the Scouts run at Newark Showground, are quoted with the later days at a reduced rate. Get in touch for a quote.
Do you deliver funfair rides to Nottingham?
Yes, about 40 minutes down the M1, covering NG1 to NG24, Mansfield, Warsop, Newark and the Eastwood patch. Between the showground bookings at Newark and the Amazon sites in the county, the ride lorries know the run well.
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.
Do the rides come with operators?
Yes. The big rides are staffed by our own trained crew for the full hire: they deliver, erect, operate and dismantle. You do not need to put any of your own people on a ride, and our operators are the same crew who maintain the rides in the warehouse between bookings.
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.
