Overseas Events
We can and do attend events all around Europe to bring fun-seekers our exciting rides and attractions.
What is involved?
For an overseas event, the more notice you are able to provide the better, as there is more involved with the planning of an event abroad than for a standard UK event.
We will need to know the itinerary for your event, for example - do you plan on touring the rides or staying in one location? How many days do you wish to operate the rides and what will the opening hours be?
We can provide staff to transport the rides to the desired location, build the rides, operate the rides and dismantle the rides.
It is possible to hire one ride or many rides. Please see our extensive catalogue of rides for listings of the attractions we are able to provide.
What are the payment terms?
For long-term events, discount will be available.
Shipping costs are payable by you. You will be charged from the day the attractions depart from the UK until they arrive back in the UK.
All fees must be fully cleared before any rides are shipped.
Traveling Beyond Europe
Although we never say never, it is usually not feasible to hire attractions to “long-haul” destinations (eg. Australia, Asia, South America etc.) because of the time scale of shipping and huge expenses involved (both foreseen and unforeseen!).
What might I need to consider?
When adding attractions to your event, there are several things to consider logistically:
Access - How is access to the site? The larger rides are transported on large trucks (approximately the size a supermarket lorry). Therefore, they require good clear access to the site. You should think about roadways, gates, overhead obstructions, trees and other obstacles.
Weight limits - Some rides are very heavy so you should consider any weight limits that may be in place.
Suitability of the ground - Most attractions will require level, hard-standing ground on which to be sited. If your site has a slight gradient, some attractions will be able to adapt to a certain extent. If you plan to site your rides on a field which is soft, rides may become stuck which will of course cause problems. The recovery of stuck rides and vehicles can be costly, time consuming and cause damage to both the rides/vehicles and ground.
Lead time - We have successfully organised and executed events at short notice. However, the more time we have to work on an event, the wider your choice of attractions will be and the less chance there will be of problems arising. If your event is approaching and you do not yet have your Fairground rides in place, don’t panic! It may not be too late. Contact our helpful team today and we will discuss your options.
