Grand Victorian Swingboats for Hire

We are not sure of the age of our Grand Victorian Swingboats, but we believe they date from the turn of the century. They are slightly smaller than our High Flying Swingboats, and for that reason, are not suitable for adults to ride alone. It is ok for parents or guardians to accompany children on the ride, so adults can still have some of the fun. They are beautifully decorated, and feature gold leaf lettering on the top board. As they are smaller, they are better suited to tighter spaces, back gardens, etc, and are the perfect attraction for a children’s party.

A classic feature of British funfairs for over 150 years. Our High Flying swingboats ride both adults and children alike, so all the family can enjoy the thrills that their grandparents did, all those years ago.

Funfair facts:
