When film and television productions need authentic, camera-ready fairground attractions, they turn to Carnival Fun Fairs — one of the UK’s leading specialists in funfair hire for film, TV shows, commercials, and live events.
Most recently, the company added another high-profile credit to its growing screen portfolio, supplying bespoke rides and attractions for scenes filmed on London’s iconic South Bank for My Fault: London.
Working against the dramatic backdrop of the River Thames, the brief called for more than just rides — it required visual impact, period authenticity, and flawless logistics in one of the capital’s busiest and most prestigious locations.
