Side Stall Games From The Traditional Fun Fair To Modern Brand Activations

Side stall games, sometimes called fairground side shows, have their roots in the travelling fairs and carnivals of the 18th and 19th centuries. As showmen toured towns and villages, they needed attractions that were quick to set up, simple to play, and entertaining for all ages. The result was the birth of the classic funfair side stall—small wooden booths dressed in bright stripes, offering games of skill or chance for a small prize.

Many of the iconic games we still recognise today coconut shy, hoopla, tin can alley, and hook-a-duck etc were staples of these fairs. They combined low-cost materials with straightforward rules, ensuring that anyone could take part. Bright colours, striped canopies, and the patter of stallholders shouting challenges helped create the lively, bustling atmosphere that became synonymous with the fairground.

While the core appeal of side stall games hasn’t changed they’re still about fun, interaction, and friendly competition the way they’re used has evolved. Today’s portable side stall games are designed not just for funfairs, but for corporate events, exhibitions, promotional campaigns, and themed activations.

Modern versions are built to be durable, lightweight, and portable, with features like removable legs for easy transport, quick-assembly frames, and custom branding options. Instead of hand-painted signs, panels can be fully wrapped with logos, graphics, and colours to align perfectly with a company’s campaign or seasonal theme. There are also themed variations Christmas stalls with snowball games, Halloween stalls with spooky twists ensuring they can adapt to any time of year.

What began as a way to entertain crowds at the fairground has become a versatile promotional tool, combining nostalgic charm with the flexibility and polish demanded by modern events. Whether standing alone as a single attraction or forming part of a larger branded installation, side stall games remain a proven way to attract attention, create engagement, and deliver memorable experiences.

Please note: The legs are made from super strong embossed black material however due to the nature of the substrate used the smooth reverse may have slight scratching or marking on the back face but is not seen when set up.
