Funfair Stalls Hire
Traditional Funfair Stall Hire
Bring All the Fun of the Fair to Your Event
Create your own traditional funfair with a colourful collection of classic fairground side stalls, complete with friendly attendants, games and prizes.
Fun4Events provides traditional funfair stall hire for corporate events, company fun days, conferences, exhibitions, parties, weddings, school events and family fun days throughout the UK.
Our red-and-white and blue-and-white striped fairground stalls create an instant funfair atmosphere and give guests something they can genuinely get involved with.
Whether you’re looking for two or three games as part of a larger event or want to create a complete funfair area with several stalls, we can put together a package to suit your venue, guest numbers and available space.
What’s Included With Our Funfair Stall Hire?
Our traditional fairground stalls are supplied as a complete entertainment package.
Depending on your booking, this can include:
- Traditional striped funfair stalls
- Classic fairground games
- Friendly event attendants
- Traditional showman-style waistcoats and straw boaters
- Prizes for winners
- All equipment required to play each game
- Setup before your event
- Pack-down afterwards
- Optional themed costumes where appropriate
Our standard traditional funfair stalls do not require an electricity supply, making them particularly easy to incorporate into outdoor events, marquees and venues where power access is limited.
Funfair Stall Size and Space Requirements
Our traditional funfair stall frames measure approximately:
2.1m wide × 2.1m deep × 2.1m high
For event planning purposes, we recommend allowing an operating area of approximately:
2.4m wide × 4m deep per stall
This allows for the physical stall itself, a little clearance around the sides and space in front for guests to stand, play and move safely around the activity.
Our stalls are suitable for use:
- Indoors
- Outdoors
- On grass
- On suitable hard standing
If several stalls are positioned alongside one another, the space in front can normally form one shared playing and circulation area rather than needing completely separate queuing areas for every stall.
We recommend leaving generous circulation space around larger collections of stalls so guests can move naturally between the games without creating bottlenecks.
If you’re working with a particular room, marquee or allocated event area, send us the dimensions and we can help you work out how many stalls will comfortably fit.

Standard Funfair Stall Specification
All of our standard traditional funfair stalls use the same basic setup, making it easier to plan several games together as part of one event.
Physical stall size: 2.1m wide × 2.1m deep × 2.1m high
Recommended operating space: approximately 2.4m wide × 4m deep per stall
Power required: No
Suitable for: Indoor and outdoor events
Surface: Grass or suitable hard standing
Staffed: Yes
Prizes included: Yes
The recommended operating area includes the stall itself plus space in front for guests to stand, play and move comfortably around the activity.
If several stalls are positioned together, the space in front can often be shared as one larger playing and circulation area.
Coconut Shy
One of the true classics.
Guests throw balls at the coconuts and try to knock one from its stand.
Simple, instantly recognisable and great fun for adults and children alike.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Tin Can Alley
Take aim and see if you can knock down the cans.
A traditional fairground game that’s easy to understand, quick to play and brilliant for encouraging a little friendly competition.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Hook a Duck
A favourite at family events and traditional funfairs.
Pick up a duck and see whether you’ve found a winner. Particularly popular for events with younger guests, although adults seem surprisingly unwilling to walk past without having a go too.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Ball in a Bucket
It looks easy.
It isn’t.
The challenge is to throw the ball into the bucket and get it to stay there, making this one of those deceptively simple games that encourages plenty of “just one more go” behaviour.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Feed the Clown
Take aim and see whether you can feed the clown.
A colourful traditional game that’s particularly well suited to family fun days, school events and carnival-themed events.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Splat the Rat
Watch the rat tumble down the pipe and try to catch it with your bat as it appears.
Fast, funny and wonderfully simple.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Hoopla
Another fairground classic.
Throw the hoops and try to land them over the target to win.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Cork Shooting Gallery
Test your aim on our traditional cork shooting game.
This works particularly well as part of a classic funfair package and is also a great choice for Wild West and cowboy-themed events.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Cactus Lasso
Throw the lasso and see whether you can hook the cactus.
An ideal addition to Wild West-themed events or as something a little different alongside the more traditional games.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Higher or Lower
Inspired by the classic Play Your Cards Right format.
Guess whether the next card will be higher or lower and see how far you can get.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
Prize Darts
Take aim and see whether you can hit the winning target.
A simple traditional competition game that works particularly well alongside other fairground stalls.
Uses our standard traditional funfair stall setup.
High Striker / Test Your Strength
Think you’ve got what it takes?
Our traditional High Striker, also known as Test Your Strength, gives guests the chance to swing the hammer and see how high they can send the marker.
It creates a brilliant focal point at corporate fun days, festivals and traditional fairground-themed events and usually attracts plenty of spectators as well as players.
Equipment footprint: approximately 2m × 2m
Height required: approximately 3m
Power required: No
Suitable for: Indoor or outdoor use where sufficient clearance is available
Additional space: Required around the activity for the participant, hammer swing and spectators
Because the High Striker is approximately 3m tall, please check ceiling heights carefully for indoor events.
Fun Food Cart
Complete the fairground atmosphere with freshly made traditional fun food.
Our Fun Food Cart can be used to serve fairground favourites such as popcorn and candy floss, depending on your chosen package.
Physical footprint: approximately 2m wide × 1.2m deep
Height: approximately 2m
Power required: Yes
Generator available: Yes, if required
Additional space: Required for staff operation and guest queueing
If mains electricity isn’t available at your venue, a generator can be provided if required.
The Fun Food Cart works particularly well alongside a row of traditional fairground stalls, helping turn an area of your event into a complete funfair experience.
How Much Space Do Funfair Stalls Need?
As a general guide, each traditional stall physically occupies approximately:
2.1m × 2.1m
For actual event planning, we recommend allowing:
2.4m × 4m per stall
This gives you a much more realistic working area and allows room for:
- Guests to stand in front of the stall
- Players to throw or take part safely
- Small queues to form
- Spectators to watch
- Staff to operate the game
- Guests to move between stalls
If several stalls are placed next to one another, the area in front can often become one shared guest and circulation space.
For example, a row of three stalls does not necessarily require three completely separate queuing areas.
The important thing is to allow enough open space for guests to move comfortably through the funfair area.
If you’re working with a specific room, marquee or outdoor area, send us the dimensions and we can help you work out a sensible layout.
How Many Funfair Stalls Do I Need?
There’s no magic number because every event works differently.
The right package depends on:
- Your number of guests
- How long the event is running
- Whether everybody will arrive at once
- The amount of space available
- The type of event
- The age range of guests
- Whether the stalls are the main entertainment or part of a larger event
For smaller events, a couple of carefully chosen games may be enough.
For corporate fun days, conferences and larger events, several stalls create much more of a traditional fairground atmosphere while also spreading guests between different activities.
Tell us your event date, postcode, approximate guest numbers and available space, and we’ll be happy to recommend a suitable combination.
Funfair Stalls for Corporate Events
Traditional fairground games work particularly well at corporate events because virtually everybody understands how to take part.
There are no complicated instructions, specialist skills or lengthy demonstrations.
Guests can wander over, have a go, win a prize and move on, or stay and challenge their colleagues.
That makes funfair stalls ideal for:
- Corporate family fun days
- Staff summer parties
- Company celebrations
- Conferences
- Exhibitions
- Awards evenings
- Team events
- Product launches
- Client entertainment
- Christmas parties
- Festival-style corporate events
They can work as the main attraction or form part of a larger entertainment package alongside other games, activities and fun food.
Funfair Stalls for Indoor Events
Our traditional funfair stalls can be used indoors as well as outdoors, provided the venue has suitable access, ceiling height and floor space.
A standard stall measures approximately:
2.1m wide × 2.1m deep × 2.1m high
For practical planning, allow approximately:
2.4m × 4m operating space per stall
Because the standard games don’t normally require electricity, indoor installation is relatively straightforward.
If you’re considering funfair stalls for a conference, exhibition, Christmas party or evening event, send us your room dimensions and access details and we’ll help establish what is practical.
Outdoor Funfair Stall Hire
Our traditional stalls can be used outdoors on either:
- Grass
- Suitable hard standing
They’re ideal for company fun days, festivals, school events, summer parties and large family events.
As with all outdoor event equipment, operation remains subject to suitable site and weather conditions.
Funfair Stalls for Conferences and Exhibitions
Fairground games aren’t only for outdoor summer events.
They can make excellent interactive entertainment for conferences, exhibitions and indoor corporate events.
Rather than guests simply standing around during breaks or drinks receptions, traditional games create natural areas for people to gather, compete and start conversations.
They’re particularly effective when you want entertainment that guests can join for a couple of minutes rather than having to commit to a scheduled activity.
Family Fun Days
Funfair stalls are made for family fun days.
They provide quick, inclusive activities that different generations can enjoy without having to commit to a lengthy game.
A traditional fairground area can also be combined with other Fun4Events activities to create a much larger entertainment package.
Add popcorn and candy floss and the transformation is fairly dramatic.
One minute it’s a patch of grass.
The next, you’ve got your own miniature funfair.
Fun Food Cart
Complete the fairground atmosphere with freshly made traditional fun food.
Our Fun Food Cart measures approximately:
2m wide × 1.2m deep × 2m high
and can be used to serve traditional fairground favourites such as popcorn and candy floss, depending on your chosen package.
Fun Food Cart Requirements
Physical footprint: approximately 2m × 1.2m
Height: approximately 2m
Power required: Yes
Generator available: Yes, if required
A suitable electricity supply will be required.
If mains power isn’t available at your venue, a generator can be provided if needed.
Additional space should be allowed around the cart for staff operation and for guests to queue and collect food.
The Fun Food Cart works particularly well alongside a row of traditional fairground stalls, helping turn an area of your event into a complete funfair experience.
Create a Complete Funfair Area
For maximum impact, combine several traditional stalls with a High Striker and Fun Food Cart.
This creates a complete entertainment zone rather than a collection of unrelated activities.
For example, a corporate funfair area could include:
- Coconut Shy
- Tin Can Alley
- Ball in a Bucket
- Hook a Duck
- High Striker
- Popcorn
- Candy floss
Add suitable space for guests to circulate between the attractions and you’ve got an area that naturally draws people in throughout the event.
Themed Funfair Stalls
Planning something slightly different?
Our games can also be combined to complement particular themes.
Wild West Events
Games such as:
- Cork Shooting Gallery
- Cactus Lasso
- Tin Can Alley
work particularly well for Western and cowboy-themed events.
Beach and Tropical Themes
Coconut Shy fits naturally into beach, tropical and Caribbean-style events.
If you have a particular theme in mind, tell us about it. We may be able to adapt the choice of games and attendants’ outfits to complement your event.
Professional Event Entertainment
When you’re organising an event for hundreds of guests, the games need to be fun.
The company supplying them also needs to arrive when expected, understand event logistics and fit into the wider production.
Fun4Events supplies traditional fairground stalls for corporate events, family fun days, schools, weddings, parties and other events throughout the UK.
Our team takes care of setting up the equipment and operating the games, leaving you to concentrate on the rest of your event.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are your traditional funfair stalls?
Our standard traditional stall frames are approximately 2.1m wide × 2.1m deep × 2.1m high.
For event planning purposes, we recommend allowing approximately 2.4m × 4m of operating space per stall.
This allows space for the stall itself plus guests to stand, play and move around the activity.
Do your funfair stalls need electricity?
No.
Our standard traditional funfair stalls do not require an electricity supply.
This makes them particularly easy to use at outdoor events and in locations where power isn’t readily available.
Can your funfair stalls be used indoors?
Yes.
Our standard stalls can be used indoors provided there is sufficient floor space, approximately 2.1m ceiling clearance and suitable access into the venue.
Can the stalls be used outdoors?
Yes.
The stalls are suitable for outdoor use on either grass or suitable hard standing, subject to appropriate site and weather conditions.
How much space should we allow in front of each stall?
The recommended operating area of approximately 2.4m × 4m per stall already includes additional guest space in front of the physical 2.1m × 2.1m stall.
For larger events and multiple stalls, additional circulation space may also be advisable.
How tall is the High Striker?
Our High Striker / Test Your Strength attraction requires approximately 3m of height clearance and an equipment area of approximately 2m × 2m, plus additional operating space.
For indoor events, please check the venue’s ceiling height carefully.
Does the High Striker require electricity?
No.
What size is the Fun Food Cart?
The Fun Food Cart measures approximately 2m wide × 1.2m deep × 2m high.
Additional space should be allowed for operation and guest queues.

Our packages are flexible, so let us know which games particularly appeal to you and we’ll help create a combination suitable for your event.
Availability will depend on your event date and package requirements.
Can we hire several stalls together?

A row or collection of different games creates a much stronger traditional fairground atmosphere and allows multiple guests to take part simultaneously.

Tell us approximately how many people you’re expecting and we’ll recommend a sensible package.
