Making the best use of
Look at the type of event or function you are holding, consider the amount of space you have available and try to organise a wide variety of sideshows and amusements that will suit all the age groups that are attending. Often smaller fete or funday organisers will create their own favourite sideshow games but for larger events looking to attract larger numbers, booking the services of sideshow operators will be far more beneficial to the event.
How many do I need?
If you are organising your own small fete and operating your own sideshow games you are only limited by the amount of helpers you have to run them. If you are looking for specific sideshow games such as skittles, stocks etc there are companies that will hire just the equipment for you to self operate. Generally speaking whether a large or small event the more sideshows, games and amusements you have the better the event.
Booking suggestions
If you're looking to hire individual sideshow equipment or sideshow operators don't leave it too late into the busy event season, if you know your event date book your equipment or operator as early as possible. Fees. Hire fees for pieces of equipment will vary from hirer to hirer and are often charged for per day. Pitch fees.  Organisers of larger events will often charge for or tender out individual pitches to side show operators.
Regulations, insurance and other useful notes
As with all businesses sideshow operators must have public liability insurance and if they provide prizes or goods those items must comply with any regulations that are associated to the type of product they are selling or giving away. Sideshow equipment hirers depending upon the type of equipment being hired out may need to provide a safety inspection certificate.
