A WORLD OF FUN COMES TO THE NEC

Funworld set to provide indoor entertainment out of the cold.

Europe’s most exciting indoor funfair will arrive in Birmingham in December for the first ever time when it comes to The NEC on December 18.

Funworld will take place at the venue over Christmas and New Year until January 9.

Funworld, which is brought to the city by NEC Group Arenas, will take place in the massive expanse of hall 5 of The NEC, inviting visitors of all ages to enjoy a wide range of funfair rides, games and entertainment.

The value for money family attraction will house around 50 exciting rides and attractions over 25,000 square metres, equivalent to 3 football pitches. Suitable for families with children of all age’s, rides such as the Waltzers, Ghost Train and a Helter Skelter will be highlights of the indoor winter funfair. The 45 metres bungee sling shot and Matterhorn should provide adequate thrills for adrenalin junkies and teenage parties.

Funworld tickets will be on sale from the 14th September at www.theticketfactory.com. Ticket prices range from £10-£15 and visitors can save over 1/3 by booking in advance. Each ticket includes 10 vouchers redeemable on the rides and attractions.

Louise Sambrook, Show Manager for The NEC Group Arenas says: “We are very excited to bring Funworld to Birmingham and provide something new and exciting for the city.

Funworld is set to become an annual event that will continue to grow in size and variety year on year. We are anticipating Funworld’s success to be huge; the attraction is a fun packed, value for money and an excellent place to take children during the Christmas holidays.’
