Featuring six brightly coloured teacups, each accommodating up to four passengers, this cheerful carousel allows riders to enjoy the spinning movement while sharing the experience with friends and family. Each cup features its own central spinning wheel, allowing passengers to influence how quickly their individual teacup rotates.

Six Colourful Spinning Teacups with Room for Up to 24 Passengers
The Spinning Teacups Carousel has a simple but entertaining concept. Passengers climb into one of six colourful cups, and the ride begins rotating around its central platform.
Inside each teacup is a spinning wheel that riders can turn to influence the rotation of their own cup. Some passengers enjoy a livelier spinning experience, while others prefer to let their cup move more gently with the carousel.
This makes the ride an appealing option for suitable mixed-age family groups, although all passengers must meet the applicable rider restrictions and follow the operator’s instructions.
Six Individual Teacups
Six colourful cups rotate around the carousel, creating the familiar spinning teacup experience.
Up to Four Riders per Cup
Each cup accommodates a maximum of four passengers, subject to the ride’s approved loading and rider restrictions.
Up to 24 Passengers
With six cups, the ride has a stated maximum capacity of 24 passengers per cycle, subject to safe loading requirements.
Individual Spinning Wheels
Passengers can influence the spinning speed of their own teacup using the central wheel inside.
20ft x 20ft Ride
A compact traditional fairground attraction that can be considered for suitable school grounds, event sites and public spaces.
LED Lights and Covered Canopy
Colourful lighting and a circus-style canopy give the carousel its distinctive traditional fairground appearance.

Our Spinning Teacups Ride combines the familiar cup-shaped seating with a bright fairground design. The canopy, lighting and colourful cups make it a particularly attractive addition to family entertainment areas.
LED Lighting and a Circus-Style Canopy for Daytime and Evening Events
Our Teacups Carousel combines traditional fairground styling with a modern LED lighting system. The illuminated ride creates an attractive display at evening festivals, Christmas celebrations and other events that continue after dark.
During daytime events, the brightly coloured teacups and high-top canopy help create a cheerful children’s attraction that fits naturally into a family funfair.
A Covered Teacups Ride for Changeable Northern Ireland Weather
The carousel’s canopy provides cover over the ride, offering some protection from light rain and helping to make the attraction practical for suitable outdoor events.
However, the canopy does not make the ride suitable for operation in all weather conditions. Strong winds, severe weather or other unsuitable conditions may require the operator to suspend use.
For organisers planning autumn festivals, Christmas markets or outdoor community celebrations, we recommend discussing the event location and seasonal conditions during the booking process.
