In line with current Government guidance, Merlin Entertainments are expecting to be able to re-open their UK theme parks on the 4th July 2020.

ThemeParks-UK is celebrating 20 years as your guide to UK theme parks in 2020, and to mark the occasion we are launching the inaugural UK Theme Park Awards.

Paultons Park has partnered with developer Attractions.io to offer virtual queuing and mobile food ordering functionality in their app to support social distancing in time for the re-opening.

The new Gulliver's Valley theme park in Rotherham, Yorkshire, will feature a special tribute to local legends the Chuckle Brothers, with guests able to take a walk down Chuckle Street and explore the legacy of the TV icons.

Dreamland Margate will not be opening for their 100th anniversary summer season and it has made 52 employees redundant from 1st July.
