Funfair Hire in Birmingham

Birmingham has one of the largest and most varied event calendars in the country, from Vaisakhi celebrations in Handsworth Park to summer festivals in Cannon Hill Park and festive markets in the city centre. We bring staffed fairground rides, stalls and inflatables to events in Edgbaston, Moseley, Kings Heath, Handsworth, Erdington, Selly Oak, Harborne and Sutton Coldfield, along with the power, toilets and walkways that large sites need.

Festivals and Community Days in Birmingham's Parks

Birmingham's parks host some of the biggest community celebrations in the Midlands. Cultural festivals in Handsworth Park, Small Heath Park and Cannon Hill Park can draw very large family crowds over a single weekend, and organisers usually want rides with a quick turnaround and plenty of colour. The Bumper Cars Dodgems Hire track and the Jumping Frogs keep queues moving, while the Runaway Train Childrens Rollercoaster gives younger children their own headline ride.

Sutton Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe and a National Nature Reserve, suits smaller, carefully planned events where vehicle routes and ground protection matter. Our Public Walkway for Festivals and Events and ground boards help keep sensitive grassland in good condition.

How much notice does Birmingham City Council need for a park event?

The council asks organisers to apply at least 12 weeks before an event in a park or public open space, particularly where there will be large groups, equipment or structures, and music. It also asks you not to advertise until you have written confirmation. Charges vary from park to park, so it is worth checking the scale of charges for your chosen site early.

Fairground rides count as equipment and structures, so we recommend booking your rides before you submit the application. That way we can send ADIPS certificates, risk assessments and our £10 million public liability insurance details for the council to review straight away.

Corporate Events, Exhibitions and the City Centre

From the business district around Colmore Row to the exhibition venues near the airport, Birmingham hosts staff parties, awards nights and product launches throughout the year. Indoor halls suit attractions that come apart in sections and run on standard power, such as the Mirror Maze or a set of Traditional Funfair Games Stalls X3 branded in your company colours. For outdoor staff days on business parks, the Corporate Funday Package 1 gives adults and children something to share.

Schools, Universities and Neighbourhood Fairs

Birmingham's universities in Edgbaston, Selly Oak and the city centre run busy freshers' and summer programmes, while primary schools from Kings Heath to Erdington hold summer fairs on playgrounds and fields. For younger pupils, our children's funfair rides are sized for school sites and run by our own staff, which leaves PTA volunteers free for the raffle and the cake table.

Christmas in the City Centre

Birmingham's festive season is one of the busiest in the country, with markets and events filling the city centre through November and December. For winter events in hotels, shopping centres or community halls, the Traditional Carousel Indoor Carousel Deluxe works indoors and out, and Alpine Hut Hire chalets give traders or a grotto a cosy base.

Power and Facilities for Large Sites

Park sites rarely have enough power for a full fairground. A 100kva Generator Hire unit can run several rides from one supply, and Standard Toilets Hire covers sites without facilities. Every ride arrives with trained operators, and fuel is included.
