Carnival Fun Fairs Brings Movie Magic to Sky’s New Christmas Film Tinsel Town

Fairgrounds & Funfairs for TV and Film Across Newcastle & the North East

Lights, camera… Christmas in the North East!
Sky’s brand-new festive comedy Tinsel Town, starring Kiefer Sutherland and Danny Dyer, is set to delight audiences this season. And while the international stars bring the headlines, it’s the nostalgic fairground setting—provided by Carnival Fun Fairs—that creates the heart and magic of the village scenes.

For film crews looking for fairgrounds for TV shows, funfair hire for movies, or authentic fairground attractions in Newcastle and the North East, Tinsel Town is the perfect example of what we deliver on set.

🎬 North East Charm Meets Hollywood Talent

The film follows a once-famous action hero trying to rebuild his life in a cosy British village. As festive celebrations unfold, the village green transforms into a beautifully lit Christmas fairground—full of movement, colour, nostalgia and warmth.

That entire atmosphere was brought to life by Carnival Fun Fairs, right here in the North East.

We worked closely with the film’s production team to supply, position, and operate traditional rides and stalls, ensuring every shot captured the magical small-town feel the story needed.
