Theme Park Network is delighted to announce that AttractionTickets.com will be returning as a headline sponsor for the UK Theme Park Awards 2026.
The awards, which celebrate excellence across the UK theme park industry, will take place on 10 September 2026, recognising outstanding achievement across both major operators and much-loved independent attractions.
AttractionTickets.com returns as a headline sponsor for the fifth consecutive year, building on a successful partnership that has seen these prestigious awards hosted by Drayton Manor Resort (2022), Chessington World of Adventures Resort (2023), Thorpe Park (2024) and Wicksteed Park (2025). This year, the event will take place at Blackpool's Pleasure Beach Resort.
Last year's ceremony attracted significant engagement from both the industry and the public. Winners were determined by combining more than 300,000 votes with scores from an expert judging panel. 180 representatives from the sector attended the event, while a further 8,000 viewers watched via livestream.
The annual awards are organised by Theme Park Network, publisher of ThemeParks-UK, the independent consumer guide to UK theme parks.
Chris Bradshaw, Managing Director of AttractionTickets.com, said:
"We’re absolutely delighted that AttractionTickets.com is once again a headline sponsor for the UK Theme Park Awards. As a business dedicated to helping customers experience the very best attractions the UK has to offer, it’s a real privilege to support and celebrate the innovation, creativity and hard work that make our theme parks so special. These awards shine a spotlight on the incredible experiences our industry delivers every day, and we’re proud to play a leading role in recognising and championing that success."
Eleanor Cobbe, Head of Marketing at AttractionTickets.com, said:
"We are so excited to be a headline sponsor for the UK Theme Park Awards again this year. At AttractionTickets.com, we thrive on 'Adding Happiness' to the lives of our customers, and we’re proud to celebrate the excellence of the UK's world-class attractions."
Further details, including the presenter line-up, judging panel and additional event information, will be announced in due course.
As in previous years, the public will be invited to vote for their favourite theme parks across a range of national award categories recognising excellence in rides and attractions, shows and events.
Ahead of the main public vote opening later this year, a shortlist will be compiled using public nominations alongside input from an expert judging panel, ensuring a balanced and industry-informed selection process.
