about us - Ride simulator events and Experiences

Our company is a family business that has enjoyed more than 37 years of success in providing simulators and simulation rides within the event industry, including public fun days, air shows, balloon fiestas, music festivals, corporate brand promotions, product launches, film and television hire, museum and heritage venue site operations, as well as long and short-term contract hire.

The company started in 1970 with the supply of a complete theme park to the Sri Lankan government and we continue to supply and operate Simulators, Mobile Simulators and Morphis Simulators to events, trading throughout the year.

Experienced consultancy is available, including the sale and installation of new and used simulators and innovative attractions worldwide, while we continue to provide a complete event support management package for UK and European clients.

We focus on providing the highest levels of safety, with a completely unblemished record and up-to-date documentation maintained by our in-house Health and Safety registered engineer.

We have efficient operational standards, with reliable supervision and fully trained staff to provide excellent customer care.

Our client list is long, and we maintain confidentiality - we only post company news items at the discretion of a client, including our impressive contractual companies listing.

We value everyone we work with as prestigious and important clients, and our company motto is 'we are only as good as our last job'.

I wish you the best of luck and good weather with the planning of your event, no matter how long you have been involved in the event industry. All that you can do is your best; expect the unexpected and think on your feet - this is the advice that I have passed on to my sons Joseph and James.

Active Rides owns and operates real flight simulators, together with a wide range of other ride experiences such as ski runs, tours over the Grand Canyon, and 'The Bee Movie' ride. Our simulations can be designed for professional training, corporate reward and team building events, and private parties.

Over 30 Years of Experience

We have been operating our own simulator machines for over 10 years, but have been running ride events for more than 30 years, and are probably the UK's most experience ride and event organiser.

We offer the most diverse range of simulated rides and flight simulators in the UK - you can be certain of an outstanding event with us.
