About Us
BigTopCarnival Co. inspired by a dad’s wish to spend more quality time with his daughter, Sophia. Her love for fairs, challenging games and unique way of learning needs brought them closer, and building something fun they could enjoy together as a family making it all the more special.
We believe that the true value of fun isn’t counted in pounds and pence it’s measured in smiles, cheers, and unforgettable memories. That’s why we put people before profit, designing games that are accessible, exciting, and full of traditional fairground magic.
Whether you're young or just young at heart, our full size, commercial quality games bring timeless fun to every event.
So step right up, take a chance, and help us make the world a little more fun one game at a time.
Our games are drawn up, designed and built all here in the UK. We do source parts from all over, some games may be sourced from elsewhere but all come to us so Sophia can ensure they are up to her expectations and for final tweeks.
🎀 Sophia “The Idea Illusionist”
I'm Sophia and I'm the boss around here, no really, I’m in charge of all the fun stuff! I get cool ideas (like games with glitter, bouncing, and sometimes jelly) and then I tell Dad to build them. He listens… most of the time. I can think of three new games before breakfast, and my outfits change like magic twice before lunch is pretty normal. If I see a game, I say, “Let’s make it better and make it more fun!” That’s my rule. I like sparkles, silliness, and making Mum say, “WHAT are you doing!” It’s always something awesome, promise.
🎩 James “The Game Tamer”
I’m the go to guy for building or finding all the wild and wonderful games Sophia dreams up or see's. I'm basically her personal game making sidekick.
Most builds start with a “simple idea,” which somehow evolves into a cardboard jungle and a mysterious puddle no one’s willing to investigate. Behind every game is a little madness, a lot of laughs, and one very confused dog wondering why the front room is suddenly a bowling alley.
