Spring Has Sprung, and So Has the 2025 Funfair Season!
The wait is over—spring has arrived, and with it, the sights, sounds, and excitement of the UK’s biggest and best funfairs! As showmen across the country prepare for a busy season ahead, we at Showman Signs are fully geared up and ready to bring fresh, bold, and eye-catching artwork to the fairgrounds.
From classic waltzers and thrill rides to food stalls and game booths, we love seeing the UK’s showmen showcase their stunning attractions, each one bursting with colour and personality. And with some of the most iconic fairs just around the corner, we can’t wait to see who will be rolling into Nottingham for Goose Fair, lighting up the streets of Hull for Hull Fair, and filling Newcastle with fun at The Hoppings—to name just a few!
A New Season, A New Look
Every funfair season brings something new—fresh attractions, exciting themes, and of course, brand-new artwork! At Showman Signs, we’ve been busy helping showmen get their rides, stalls, and signage looking their best for 2025. Whether it’s a complete redesign, a restoration of classic artwork, or adding the final finishing touches before the fair opens, we’re proud to see our work out there on the showground.
As always, we love that each showman brings their own unique style to the fair. Some are keeping things traditional with vintage-inspired designs, while others are embracing modern trends with bold neon colours and high-impact digital artwork. Whatever the vision, we’re here to bring it to life!
Which Fairs Are You Heading To?
There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a travelling fair, and with some of the UK’s biggest events on the horizon, we’re looking forward to seeing who will be hitting the road and where. Here are just a few of the major fairs we can’t wait for this season:
• Goose Fair (Nottingham) – One of the country’s oldest and most famous fairs, bringing thrills and tradition to the heart of Nottingham.
• Hull Fair – The largest and longest-running travelling fair in Europe, known for its incredible rides, atmosphere, and history.
• The Hoppings (Newcastle) – The world’s largest travelling funfair, stretching across Newcastle’s Town Moor with an impressive lineup of rides and attractions.
• Ilkeston Fair, Kings Lynn Mart, Scarborough Seafest, Stourbridge Fair – Just a few more of the fantastic fairs we’re excited to see this season!
Just to name a few!
