Funfairs Aberdeen
There aren’t many kids who hear the music of a fairground ride or see the brightly coloured displays and don’t instantly want to jump on the ride. This instant draw for kids of all ages is one of the reasons that fairground ride hire in Aberdeen and around Scotland is a popular option for special events such as birthdays or weddings.
Nor is the idea of having a ride at an event a new one – today’s modern computer control rides have a long and illustrious history starting out with hand turned dobbies that were used in the early 19th century. These forerunners of the modern merry go round even featured the colourful painting of the modern rides but were pushed around by children rather than being motorised. Later, ponies were used to do the job when employing children became frowned upon.
The first steam powered rides came in around the 1860s when Thomas Bradshaw opened his first steam ride at the Pot Market in Bolton on New Year’s Day 1861. It was then taken to Halifax and its novelty led to it being reported about in the newspaper!
Today, kids still adore sitting on a fairground ride and be whisked around on a horse or a car. So if this appeals to you for your event, give us a call at Event Catering Scotland for more details.
