Silcock’s are one of the biggest and best-known names in the fairground business. We’re not just an agency offering a ‘wish list’ of rides supplied by others. We are out there every day working hard to fulfil our clients’ needs. So we know exactly what we’re talking about and what will or will not work for you!
John Silcock, the current owner of the business, has been operating in the leisure industry for over 40 years after taking over the family firm from his father Edward (‘Teddy’) Silcock. During the past four decades, he has expanded both the selection of rides and attractions we now offer and the variety of events we attend.
We guarantee to make your event unique and exciting; something your visitors will always remember and makes you stand out from the crowd.
Our rides and attractions are a familiar sight at events such as Nottingham Goose Fair, Hull Fair and Warrington Walking Days. We also have many years’ experience operating at large scale music festivals such as Creamfields and Reminisce.
Some of our rides have appeared as far away as Edinburgh for the Hogmanay celebrations, Dublin for the St Patrick’s Day parade and the Isle of Mann for the famous TT Races.
And now you can hire our attractions for your event too – anywhere in the UK.
Fairgrounds and amusement parks represent some of the safest leisure activities of all. In fact, you are far more likely to have an accident travelling to a fair than while you are there.
You can be sure that the rides and attractions supplied by Silcock’s are operated to the highest safety standards.
Above all, our reputation has been built on quality service, reliability, first-class attractions and complete customer satisfaction.

Family rides, thrill rides, traditional rides and more, for all types of events. See our selection.

From Hook-A-Duck to the Coconut Shy, fairground games make a fun addition to any event.

We offer a wide selection of hot and cold food and drinks, from a variety of kiosks.

From regular funfairs to music festivals and corporate events, Silcock’s have you covered.
John Silcock, and his father before him, have been bringing their fun fair to Frodsham for many years. Their annual visit has been eagerly awaited by generations of residents. The totally professional attitude of John and his staff inspires confidence. Come fair or foul weather, the 100% commitment of all ensures the best possible entertainment for customers.
“Wade Hall Community Centre Leyland would like to say a great big thank you to Silcock’s for your donation of craft material for the children we sent them out to children with care packages from our food bank. We really appreciate your kindness and support.”
“I just want to say to all the staff on the fair: your rides were good, but your staff and your team were good exceptional.”
“Wow! What a day yesterday! Thank you so much to everyone who came to our 25th anniversary family fun day, we loved having you all there and it couldn’t have gone better! Big pat on the back to the suppliers and contractors on the day, including Silcock’s Fun Fairs. We couldn’t have done it without you!”
