Funfair under the Christmas tree: calendar 2027 4 packed with thrills

Funfair calendars 2027 bring the feeling of a fairground, roller coasters and Ferris wheels right into your home. It gets dark earlier outside, your Christmas gift list isn't quite finished yet – and suddenly the new year is just around the corner. So how about a gift idea that won't disappear into a cupboard after a few days, but will keep you looking forward to your next funfair for twelve months?

Calendars add a special touch to your home office or living room. Even a desk stand beside your keyboard and coffee cup can bring a smile. Our four ideas are for funfair fans, theme park lovers and roller coaster enthusiasts. They’re about more than dates: they’re about lights, emotions, special perspectives and the thrill of your next ride.

Funfair calendar 2027: a Christmas gift full of memories

Some gifts bring back a particular moment: your first outing with friends, your first ride on Breakdance or the view from the gondola as the lights come on below you. A funfair calendar captures exactly that feeling. So it's not just for die-hard ride fans, but also for people who simply love fairs as part of their fondest memories.

A calendar like this is practical, too. Birthdays, holiday plans and your next theme park visits all need space, after all. A wall calendar adds interest to an otherwise empty space. A desk calendar, on the other hand, adds a small touch without changing the whole room. Our four favourites take very different approaches to this idea.

1. Ferris wheel desk calendar 2027: a little bright spot in your home office

Just another workday: emails, a video call, one more meeting. Then your eyes land on a brightly lit Ferris wheel. Suddenly, you're thinking back to your last funfair evening. That's exactly why a Ferris wheel desk calendar 2027 is such a lovely idea. It brings fairground atmosphere to a place you might least expect – right beside your screen.

The desk calendar “Ferris wheels – Fun for young and old.” features a changing selection of Ferris wheel images. The contrast between colourful lights and the dark sky is particularly appealing, especially in evening and night shots. A stand also fits on a small desk. You can also place it on a shelf or chest of drawers.

Our gift idea: for people who work from home, colleagues with a soft spot for funfairs or anyone who smiles at the sight of a Ferris wheel.

2. Ferris wheels and funfair 2027: the main attraction for your wall

Sometimes you want something a little more striking. A large Ferris wheel, a warm evening sky and a calendar that immediately catches your eye: Ferris wheels and funfair 2027 brings the feeling of a fair into your home as wall decor. This kind of image can really stand out above a desk, on a gallery wall or in a cosy reading nook.

Torsten Irmer's calendar celebrates the world of fairgrounds, carousels and Ferris wheels. The publisher offers several wall formats, so you can choose the right option for the space you have. One important point: according to CALVENDO, the images in this series were created with the help of artificial intelligence. If authentic documentary photography is especially important to you, bear this in mind before buying. If you're mainly looking for a fairytale-like funfair atmosphere, this could be just the image for you.

Our gift idea: for anyone who'd rather give a striking feature piece than a practical office accessory – and for fans of colourful lights and nostalgic fairground charm.

3. Funfair Fun 2027: rides, mist and plenty of atmosphere

You know the moment: the lights of a ride in front of you, music blaring from the speakers, a little mist hanging over the fairground and someone somewhere calling for the next ride token. That's the atmosphere captured in the February image shown here from the Funfair Fun 2027 wall calendar. It's not a sterile product shot, but an image full of movement, people and atmosphere.

The calendar featuring photographs by Dietmar Scherf is for everyone who loves not just the ride itself, but the whole experience. According to the product description, its subjects include funfairs, carousels and fair scenes. And especially on grey winter days, a wall calendar like this can be a lovely change of pace: a piece of the funfair right in your home, even when the next season is still a while away.

Our gift idea: for funfair fans, regular funfair visitors and anyone who can instantly imagine the sounds and smells when they see a photo of a fairground.

4. Roller Coaster Adventure 2027: adrenaline for your living room wall

For some people, a Ferris wheel is part of every fair. Others can never get enough of tracks, launches, loops and spectacular roller coaster trains. If you belong to the second group, Abenteuer Achterbahn 2027 is sure to get your pulse racing. Each month, this wall calendar brings a new coaster image to your wall—and a new reason to dream about your next ride.

Photographer Daniel Pfleiderer features various roller coasters from well-known theme parks in this calendar. According to the publisher's overview, it includes photos from Europa-Park, Energylandia, Tripsdrill, Toverland and Walibi Holland, among others. The December page shown here, with its blue-lit station, illustrates that great coaster photos are about more than height and speed. Often, it's the lighting, perspective and technical details that make a ride unmistakable.

This calendar is a great fit on the wall next to your theme park collection, above your gaming setup or as a gift for your favourite ride buddy. It might even give you an idea for your next theme park road trip.

Our gift idea: for roller coaster nerds, tech fans and anyone who likes dreaming about their next ride even when they're not at a park.

Funfair calendar 2027: which one suits your favourite spot?

Not everyone has a spare wall—and not every wall needs a huge calendar. The Kirmes Kalender 2027 in our selection cater to different needs. So before ordering, it's worth taking a moment to check the format you want and where the calendar will hang or stand. You can find the sizes and available options via the product links. That way, your gift won't be too big for a desk or too small for a wall.

• Desk and home office: The Ferris wheel desk calendar is a compact choice for anyone who wants to keep their favourite images in view.
• Living room and picture wall: “Riesenräder und Kirmes” focuses more on large, decorative images and colourful funfair atmosphere.
• Love of the traditional funfair: “Kirmes Glück” captures the special atmosphere among visitors, rides and lights.
• Roller coaster fans and theme park collectors: “Abenteuer Achterbahn” is the obvious choice for coaster images and technical perspectives.

You could give someone a calendar together with a personal voucher for a funfair or theme park visit together.

From Christmas to New Year's Eve: give the gift of anticipation for 2027

Of course, you can simply treat yourself to a calendar, too. Who says your study can only have abstract posters or plain office calendars on the walls? Sometimes a colourful funfair photo provides just the little boost of motivation an ordinary Monday needs. And each new month reminds you that the next funfair and theme park season is getting closer.

You'll find even more ideas for experience seekers in our Gadgets category. If you'd rather start planning your next outing, browse our funfair calendar. For extra anticipation, we've also featured two theme park guides and exciting places to visit.
