Nominations open for UK Theme Park Awards 2025

We are pleased to confirm that the UK Theme Park Awards will return in 2025, with the British public able to nominate in all 22 categories.

Once again, the public will be able to vote for their favourite theme parks in national awards recognising the best rides and attractions, shows and events. The awards are organised by ThemeParks-UK.com, an independent consumer guide to UK theme parks.

There are 22 categories this year, including Theme Park of the Year, Best Customer Service and Best Value. The new categories include Best Use of IP in an Attraction, Best Queue Line Experience or Pre-Show, and Best Integration of Technology in a Guest Experience.

In advance of the public vote taking place later this year, a shortlist will be compiled using the public nominations and with the help of an expert judging panel.

Major contenders for the awards include Alton Towers and Drayton Manor in Staffordshire, Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Lancashire, Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park in Surrey, LEGOLAND Windsor in Berkshire and Paultons Park in Hampshire.

There will also be awards for Best Established Content Creator and Best Developing Content Creator, which includes bloggers, vloggers and podcasters, as well as those creating content on other platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.

Last year, Thorpe Park was crowned Theme Park of the Year, with Hyperia awarded Best New Attraction.
