Crealy has partnered up with the world's longest running children's television programme, The Sooty Show, to create a magical new area at the theme park, devoted to the nation's favourite yellow magic bear, Sooty!

Josh Hayward, General Manager of Crealy Theme Park & Resort in Devon, and Richard Cadell, presenter of The Sooty Show, welcomed guests and spoke about creating Sooty Land, before introducing Sooty himself.

The Sooty Show

There are live daily performances of The Sooty Show in Sooty's Big Top Showtime theatre. It's an entertaining 30-minute show full of music, comedy and magic, taking place up to 3 times a day. Make sure to grab some popcorn, candy floss and a magic wand to take part in the show!

The Rides

Sooty, Sweep and Soo each have their very own ride in the seaside themed Sooty Land, and they all come together in another dizzy ride:

• Sooty's Magic Bus - jump aboard this bumpy bus ride where you'll zoom round and round, up and down.
• Sweep's Flying Circus - enjoy a leisurely flight through the sky and press the button to go higher in one of Sweep's circus themed planes.
• Soo's Sweet Balloon Ride - float high in one of Soo's colourful balloons and don't forget to spin the wheel if you want to go faster!
• Izzy Wizzy Let's Get Dizzy - climb into a Sooty, Sweep or Soo themed car and hold on tight for a fun rotating ride.

The Pier

​This new indoor and outdoor themed area brings the fun of a seaside pier to Crealy, home to many attractions including:

• Hall of Fame - with memorabilia and props from the past 70 years of The Sooty Show, for fans of Sooty this is a real highlight of Sooty Land

Food & Drink

Located at The Pier, there's a great range of food and drink options, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available:

• Sooty's Diner - beef, chicken and vegan burgers served with chips, plus chicken strips and soft drinks.
• Sweep's Hot Dogs - serving a classic range of sausages, Sweep style!

Josh Haywood, General Manager of Crealy Theme Park & Resort:

"Crealy Theme Park & Resort has long prided itself on being a family attraction that caters for all generations. Sooty, Sweep & Soo have been entertaining children, parents and grandparents across the country for over 70 years, and so we couldn't be more thrilled to be partnering with the gang on our new Sooty Land."

Richard Cadell, presenter of The Sooty Show:

"This really is such an exciting new chapter for Sooty. As I live close to Exeter myself, I've always admired all that they do at Crealy, so to be opening up Sooty Land in partnership with the team there is a real honour. Live daily theatre performances, Sweep selling hot dogs, amazing rides & Sooty's very own magic shop; there's going to be so much fun to be had for families & fans of Sooty across the country visiting Devon in 2022."
