Council & Local Authority Events Hire
Trusted Entertainment Nationwide
Public events organised by councils and local authorities require a unique combination of creativity, safety, reliability and mass appeal. At We Are Tricycle, we specialise in providing high-quality funfair rides, games, and event infrastructure that’s suitable for family audiences, all delivered with full insurance, risk assessments, and logistical support.
Whether you’re planning a city-centre summer festival, a rural parish fun day, a Christmas light switch-on or a mobile outreach event, we work in close collaboration with local authorities across the UK to ensure every element runs smoothly and engages your community.
Our services are available nationwide, including regular work with councils in Greater Manchester, London, Essex, Wales, Gloucestershire, and more.
Event Solutions Designed for Community Impact
We understand that council events serve a wide audience — children, parents, grandparents, teens, and local businesses. Our equipment and services are handpicked to create inclusive, entertaining spaces that support community engagement and deliver high footfall.
From fairground rides for town parks to side stalls at community centres, we offer tailored solutions for:
-
Town and village fun days
-
Civic festivals and multicultural celebrations
-
Council-run Christmas markets and holiday events
-
Community outreach and inclusion programmes
-
Regeneration projects and high street activations
We have also supported local authorities with equipment for TV, broadcast, and film shoots as well as music, arts and cultural events.
Rides and Attractions for All Ages
We stock a vast range of family-friendly attractions that are suitable for multi-generational crowds. Popular options for public and council events include:
Our Big Funfair Rides such as Star Flyer and Matterhorn are also ideal for urban event spaces, drawing large crowds and elevating the visual appeal of your event.
Games, Stalls and Seasonal Theming
Council events often involve long dwell times, and nothing keeps families engaged like classic funfair games and stalls.
Our Fairground Side Stalls and Games include:
All stalls are easy to brand and operate and work well with volunteer staff or our own event team. For Halloween and Christmas events, we also offer themed setups like Hook A Christmas Duck, Ring A Reindeer, or Halloween Themed Funfair Games and Stalls.
Looking to host a winter market or festive town centre event? Our Alpine Chalets | Christmas Huts are available with or without retailers and can be configured into beautiful Christmas markets or Santa’s grotto installations.
Food, Drink and Rest Areas
We Are Tricycle provides crowd-friendly event catering that’s ideal for local authority events. With options ranging from food vending tricycles to full Bavarian Swing Grill setups, we can feed thousands while fitting into your licensing and access requirements.
Our options include:
We can also supply crowd control fencing, power solutions, and layout planning assistance to help you meet safety regulations.

-
Full public liability insurance
-
ADIPS certification
-
PAT-tested electrical equipment
-
Method statements and risk assessments
