The UK’s biggest indoor funfair returns to Liverpool's Exhibition Centre for Christmas. From December 21 until January 5, families and thrill seekers can enjoy "around 30" classic amusement park rides.

Indoor Funfair occupied a 90,000 sq ft space during its most recent summer visit earlier this year. Returning rides include Fusion and Trabant for the thrillseekers, and family favourites such as the dodgems and waltzers.

Smaller children can also enjoy the more manageable Mini Miami and Circus Train. A brand new addition, Air Raid, which spins and twists riders while they travel through the air, will make its debut this year.

John Lowery from Indoor Funfair said: "Indoor Funfair is still the biggest and best value event of its kind in the UK. Some sessions will sell out so we’re urging people to pre-book. It’s cheaper to buy online and with three hours of unlimited fun, it’s also a good stocking filler."

Colm Graham, head of partnerships, hospitality and exhibition sales, at ACC Liverpool said: “Indoor Funfair is one of our most successful events with thousands from in and around Liverpool enjoying the attraction every year. There are always great rides to enjoy with the exhibition centre providing a safe and secure, climate-controlled family environment."

Indoor Funfair returns from December 21 - January 5. Pre-booked tickets are available from £10.99 for the 6pm sessions with all other sessions priced at £13.99. Refreshments and any prize games are not included in the ticket price.

Between 10am-1pm on December 28 and January 4, there’ will be quieter sessions for those with sensory needs where music will be lowered. Ride lights will be switched off and rides slowed where possible. You can book your tickets here.
