Matlock Bath theme park Gulliver's Kingdom to re-open on July 18

The park has been unable to open so far this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A number of additional safety measures have since been made to the park in response to the pandemic, including temperature checks on arrival, mandatory advanced booking, contactless entry, social distancing measures and a food pre-ordering system.

The park will also be operating on a limited capacity, with pre-booked slots only, to adhere to the government’s social distancing guidelines.

Julie Dalton, managing director, said: “The last few months have been extremely challenging for us so to now be in the position where we can open our doors to our customers is wonderful.

“Of course, the health and wellbeing of our visitors and our employees really is top priority and so we have staggered the opening of our four parks to ensure each one meets the high standards we have set ourselves as well as meeting the requirements outlined by Government.

“The theme park will re-open on 18 July, however we are offering our T-Rex Treks from now until that date and opening our Explorers Retreat accommodation from July 4.”

Tickets must be purchased in advance, walk-ins will not be granted entry to the park.
