Traditional Ferris Wheel

Share on Facebook Button

Here is a wheel with a story to tell. Our vintage Ferris wheel was built by Eli Bridge in 1969 and spent five decades turning at carnivals in the USA before crossing the Atlantic to the UK in 2019. Since then it has become a much-loved centrepiece at events of every kind, bringing genuine American fairground charm wherever it goes.

Standing at an impressive 50 feet, the 14-seat wheel gives riders lovely views over your event, and its slow, steady turn makes it perfect for a relaxed ride with friends, family or that special someone. Whether you want to recreate a classic film scene or simply enjoy the view with a stick of candy floss in hand, it adds a real sense of occasion.

What events suit the vintage Ferris wheel?

It is an ideal choice for weddings, film and television work, corporate events, town festivals and any celebration that would benefit from a grand, photogenic centrepiece. Its vintage styling looks wonderful in photographs by day and when lit up at dusk. We bring it to events in London and nationwide.

Safety is taken seriously at every stage. The wheel undergoes the latest inspections by the UK's top inspectors, and our trained operators load every rider and run each turn, so your guests can relax and enjoy the ride.

Pair it with our Candy Floss Stall for the classic fairground treat, or create a full traditional scene with our Helter Skelter, traditional fairground ride hire and fairground stalls and games. Together they turn your event into a trip back in time to the joy and wonder of the old-time fair.

Ask us for a quote and we will tailor it to your date, venue and timings. Country house weddings in Cambridgeshire and film shoots in Cheshire are a beautiful fit. Contact us to bring the vintage Ferris wheel to your next event.
