We all love a fairground or funfair – until we are tasked to host one, that is! It can feel daunting to host such an event – after all, many elements are included in it, and you have to think of every one of them. For example, what attractions and rides would suit every one of your attendees? What food will you serve? There is also the question of entertainment – what kind of entertainers would everyone love and appreciate?
There are numerous details to think about – and of course, you don’t want your event to be just a standard funfair or fairground! Fortunately, there are some things you can do to spice it up – and it’s all age-appropriate and above board. Are you ready? Here are some top tips for spicing up your funfair or fairground event.
Attractions that are guaranteed to level it up
1. A unique photo booth
We’ve all heard of photo booths – almost every event has one nowadays. But you can liven it up by giving your guests a more unique photo booth experience. For example, you can include unique costumes in your photo booth – such as feather boas, hats, fake noses and moustaches, giant sunglasses, balloons, and the like – and have each guest pick a costume and wear it while having their pictures taken.
In addition, you can include handwritten messages and have your guests post their photos on the event’s social media page.
2. A special beverage
Well, if you’re hosting an event with families and children around, you can have two beverages – an alcoholic and a virgin one. It’s easy to create signature beverages unique to your event, and the key is to choose drinks that are exotic and colourful – ones that you’re sure your guests will love.
Think about it – you are spicing up your event by adding spices to your signature drinks! Then, again, have your guests post it on social media – this will create an instant buzz around your event, and it can even become an annual or yearly thing.
3. Hire special entertainers
Of course, a funfair or fairground event wouldn’t be complete without entertainers – you’ve just got to choose the right one. The good thing is that many possible entertainers can command an audience, whether young or old. For instance, if you are looking for some good, clean fun, you can always go for a magician. If you want something great for the kiddies, then you can have a face painter or balloon-maker (incidentally, you can have a face painter for the adults, too!).
You can also have a mime, a film character/s, a tattoo or portrait artist, and more. And if you pair these entertainers with the suitable rides and stalls (especially from a fairground stall hire company like We Are Tricycle), then you’ll surely have a night that no one will quickly forget.
4. Why not have a special light show
if you want your funfair or fairground event to be remembered? You can hire a special lighting effects producer for your event, and it can help create an incredible, magical, mystical ambience and vibe that will truly put your event in the spotlight. Also, don’t forget to welcome the guests in person – it will make them feel special and ready for a fantastic evening ahead.
