Multiple stalls can be positioned together to create a dedicated traditional funfair area at your venue.

Do Side Stalls need to be staffed?
We recommend having an operator on each stall to explain the rules, manage participation and distribute prizes where required.
Staffing requirements will depend on the number of stalls, your event format and the individual games selected.
