Candy Floss & Popcorn Machine Hire for Birthday Parties

There's nothing quite like the moment a child spots the candy floss machine spinning for the first time — the sugar clouds, the colours, the "can I have one more?" that follows. At Candy Floss Events, we bring that moment to birthday parties across the North East, with freshly spun candy floss and warm, buttery popcorn served right at your celebration.

Freshly Made, Not Pre-Packaged

Every cone and every cup is made to order in front of your guests — nothing arrives pre-made or sitting in a bag. Kids (and plenty of adults) love watching the machine work as much as they love the treat itself, which makes it as much an activity as it is a snack. Our candy floss comes in a range of flavours and colours, so you can match it to a party theme, a favourite character's colour scheme, or just go classic pink vanilla. Curious what's actually in it? We've broken down the full nutrition and allergen information here — both treats are naturally fat-free (candy floss) or fibre-rich (popcorn), and we can cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan guests with notice.

Pair It With Popcorn

Most birthday bookings add our popcorn cart alongside the candy floss stall — a savoury option that keeps guests snacking through the whole party rather than just at treat time. From classic salted to caramel, it's freshly popped on site.

Built for Every Age of Party

Whether it's a 5th birthday with a full theme and bouncy castle, or a milestone adult birthday with a more grown-up flavour selection, we tailor the stall to suit. We bring the same freshly-spun approach to weddings, school events, and fundraisers too — birthdays are simply where a lot of our regular customers first discover us.

Hygiene You Can Rely On

We hold a 5-star food hygiene rating and carry £5 million public liability insurance, so you can book with total confidence — no matter how many small hands are reaching for a cone. Read more about who we are and how long we've been doing this on our About page.

Candy Floss & Popcorn Hire for Fundraising Events

Nothing draws a crowd at a fundraiser quite like the smell of fresh popcorn and the sight of candy floss being spun. At Candy Floss Events, we've spent 25+ years helping school fairs, charity events, and community fundraisers turn footfall into funds — with a stall that's as much an attraction as it is a treat.

Why Candy Floss Works So Well at Fundraisers

Candy floss and popcorn aren't just crowd-pleasers — they're crowd-builders. The spinning process itself draws people over before they've even decided to buy, which means more footfall past your other stalls, raffles, and collection points. It's a nostalgic, affordable treat that works for every age group, so it doesn't compete with your event's main draw — it supports it.

Pair It With Popcorn

Most fundraising bookings add our popcorn stall alongside candy floss, keeping guests snacking for the full length of your event rather than just at one treat moment. It's a great option for longer events like school fairs.

Suited to Every Kind of Fundraiser

We regularly work school PTA fairs, church fêtes, charity galas, and community fun days. If your fundraiser sits alongside a school event, our School Events page covers packages built specifically for that setting. For fundraisers with a more formal, adult audience — like a charity ball or gala dinner — see how we approach university and formal events for a sense of the more elegant presentation option.

What's Actually in It

Worried about serving a treat that's "just sugar" at a health-conscious school or community event? We've broken down the full nutrition and allergen information here — candy floss is fat-free and gluten-free, popcorn brings genuine fibre, and we can accommodate vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free guests with advance notice.

Hygiene You Can Rely On

We hold a 5-star food hygiene rating and carry £5 million public liability insurance — important reassurance for school and charity events where safety sign-off matters. Read more about who we are on our About page.

Candy Floss & Popcorn Hire for Corporate Events

Looking for a unique, memorable way to engage guests at your next corporate event? Candy Floss Events brings freshly spun candy floss and warm popcorn to conferences, product launches, networking events, and office celebrations across the North East — turning a standard catering line into a genuine talking point.

Why Corporate Clients Choose Candy Floss Events

A genuine attraction, not just a snack. A live candy floss stall draws people over before they've even decided to try it. That's valuable at a networking event or exhibition — it becomes a natural gathering point that sparks conversation between guests who might not otherwise have crossed paths.

Branding without the compromise. Our flavours and colours can be matched to your corporate palette or event theme, so the stall complements your branding rather than sitting apart from it.

A professional, hygienic service. Our team works cleanly and efficiently, with a 5-star food hygiene rating and £5 million public liability insurance — the standard your venue and H&S sign-off will expect. Read more about our background on the About page.

Pairs perfectly with popcorn. Most corporate bookings add our popcorn cart alongside candy floss, giving guests a savoury option that keeps a longer event — a full-day conference or exhibition — feeling well catered throughout. See the full range of popcorn flavours.

Scales to any event size. From a 50-person office celebration to a large-scale brand activation or exhibition stand, we tailor the package to your footfall and format.

Where This Works Best

Conferences & exhibitions — a stand-out addition to your stand or break area
Product launches & brand activations — flavours and colours matched to your brand
Office parties & staff celebrations — an easy way to make an internal event feel special
Networking events — a natural conversation starter for guests who don't know each other yet

If your event has a more formal, black-tie feel, our university and formal events page shows how we adapt presentation for that setting.

What's In It

Catering for a professional crowd often means fielding dietary questions. We've laid out full nutrition and allergen information here — candy floss is fat-free and gluten-free, popcorn brings genuine fibre, and we can accommodate vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free guests with advance notice.

Add a touch of sweetness to your next university event

Candy floss has a way of cutting through the noise of a busy student event, it's nostalgic, it photographs beautifully, and it gives people a reason to gather round. We spin it fresh on-site using industry-leading equipment, so your guests get the full theatre of watching each cloud take shape, not just the treat itself.

At Candy Floss Events, we specialise in bringing fun, nostalgia and delicious treats to university events across the North East. Our friendly, professional team handles the whole setup, service and pack-down, keeping the energy high and the queues moving — so your committee or events staff can focus on running the night rather than managing a stall.

ABOUT US

SERVING SWEETNESS SINCE 2003

At Candy Floss Events, we bring a touch of nostalgia to every occasion. Our mission is simple: to create genuinely memorable moments through the theatre of freshly spun candy floss and warm, freshly popped popcorn.

Our Story

Candy Floss Events has deep roots in Whitley Bay, where our family has been part of the entertainment business for generations, with candy floss a long-standing tradition passed down through the family.

In 1998, we turned that tradition into a dedicated business, bringing candy floss to events across the North East. What began as a small venture has grown into a trusted, family-run enterprise — and more than 25 years on, we're still spinning sugar and bringing that same sense of occasion to weddings, school events, and university events throughout the region.

Every event we cater carries that same commitment to quality and craft that's been part of the family since the beginning — each fluffy cloud of candy floss made to create a moment worth remembering.

Meet Our Team

Behind every cloud of candy floss is a team committed to getting the details right. From expert spinners to friendly event coordinators, each person plays a part in delivering a seamless, professional experience — whether that's a wedding reception, a corporate event, or a school fair.

Our Values

Quality, creativity, and genuine customer care sit at the centre of how we work. We hold a 5-star food hygiene rating and £5 million public liability insurance, so organisers can book with full confidence — and we back that with attentive, personal service on the day itself.

Our Unique Offering

What sets us apart is treating candy floss as an experience, not just a treat. With a range of flavours, colours, and customisation options, our creations are tailored to suit the theme of any event. Full ingredient and allergen information is available on our Nutrition page for organisers who need it.

Customer Focus

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do — from a couple's wedding day to hundreds of students at a university ball. If you have a question before booking, our FAQs cover the most common ones, from pricing to insurance.

Community Engagement

Beyond the events themselves, we give back to the communities that support us — donating 20% of profits from fair appearances to charity, and staying actively involved in local community events across the region.
