The Park has three distinct ride areas suitable for families, a railway and a family orientated Amusement Arcade.

The Fairground attracts our younger visitors including a traditional carousel, double pirate ship, jumping tower and unique 'Rockin tug'. The Arcade is in this area.

Lakeside Activities

Our restored lake includes many new features that are well worth finding. We have a new shingle beach, a 90m pontoon and soon will have a ferry to lazily travel around the lake. To celebrate the opening of the lake we have got some fabulous new rowing boats that have a double set of oars.

Wax Hands

Create a unique and lasting souvenir of your visit with a wax model of your hand – it is quick and easy to make and you can personalise in many ways. It is also an ideal activity for birthday parties.
