Half-term fun fair brings thrill rides to Utilita Arena Sheffield

A 40m-high Booster, the Extreme and Freak Out are among the thrill rides at Sheffield October Half Term Fun Fair.

Farrar’s Fun Fairs has again teamed up with the Utilita Arena to stage the event in the arena’s car park until Sunday, November 1.

The line-up will also include the Paratrooper, Jump & Smile, SuperBob, Dodgems and Sizzler Twist, alongside the Waltzer’s, Tagada, Crazy Wave and giant Sky Flyer.

A children’s roller coaster and a range of attractions for younger visitors will also be available, as well as games and stalls selling hot food and drinks.

William Percival of Farrar’s Fun Fairs said: “We hold numerous fairs in and around South Yorkshire and always look forward to bringing a big fair to the year to the car parks of the Utilita Arena and we have once again assembled Sheffield’s biggest fair with something for everyone including the 40m high Booster ride.”

Admission to the security-controlled site will cost £1, with visitors receiving vouchers to spend on the rides in return.

The fair will open from 2pm to 10pm each day, except on Sunday, November 1, when it will close at 8pm.
