Drayton Manor Unveils Exciting Summer Events for 75th Anniversary

Drayton Manor, a popular amusement park located in the Midlands, is gearing up for an action-packed summer filled with thrilling events and celebrations. The park will host its Wild West Fest throughout July, featuring live music and entertainment in honor of the one-year anniversary of the Gold Rush, the park’s latest rollercoaster.

As part of the summer festivities, from August 1 to August 30, Adventure Cove will transform into the Draytona Beach Water Festival. This event promises a taste of beach life in the heart of the Midlands, offering splash pools for children, giant sandpits, and deck chairs for relaxation. The festival will also include themed entertainment and live music, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for families.

For those seeking adventure, the park will host giant water fights in Adventure Cove, turning the area into a lively splash zone twice daily. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own water guns or purchase them on-site, ensuring an engaging experience for all ages.

In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Drayton Manor will hold two special fireworks displays on August 2 and August 30. The park will extend its hours on these dates, remaining open until 21:00 to allow guests more time to enjoy their favorite rides and attractions. Furthermore, from July 25 to August 31, the park will stay open until 20:00 every Friday and Saturday evening, providing additional opportunities for evening fun.

To enhance the experience, every guest visiting between July 27 and August 30 will receive a free return ticket, valid for visits from September 1 to October 17, 2025. This initiative allows families to experience the park’s offerings multiple times throughout the season.

Victoria Lynn, Managing Director of Drayton Manor, expressed her excitement about the summer events: “We’re incredibly excited about this summer at Drayton Manor. In our 75th anniversary year, we wanted to create an array of new and exciting events that build on everything our guests already love about the park. We’re bringing even more energy, entertainment, and immersive experiences for visitors to enjoy.”

With over 50 rides and attractions and a 15-acre zoo, Drayton Manor provides a unique family day out. Guests looking to extend their visit can take advantage of the on-site hotel, featuring themed rooms such as Vikings and Thomas and Friends.
