Pleasureland closes early for Summer but plans Winter special events

22nd September 2020

Southport Pleasureland has taken the decision to end their 2020 Summer season early as Covid-19 restrictions come into force in the region amid rising case numbers.

Southport Pleasureland owner Norman Wallis said: “The safety of our guests and staff is of the utmost importance to us.”

The park had originally opened in the Summer with social distancing measures, the first time the park was fully open since 2019.

Tickets sold for the planned second Emergency Services weekend have been refunded by the park.

Norman Wallis said: “In light of the ever changing circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve taken the decision to bring the Summer season to an end now, meaning our final Emergency Services Day including Blue Light Card holders and carers will unfortunately be postponed until a later date. Everyone who was booked on for this weekend has been emailed and given a full refund.

“We had originally planned to be open throughout October, including a special Halloween fortnight but we feel that delaying our reopening is the right thing to do.

“The safety of our guests and staff is of the utmost importance to us and we feel by delaying our opening we can regroup and focus on exciting times in November and December.

“We will be opening for the winter season, starting with our Day of the Dead special night on the 14th November, for which tickets are available on our website now.

“We will then focus on providing spectacular and safe, family entertainment in the run up to Christmas! We will be revealing more about this soon.

“On behalf of the whole Pleasureland team, thank you so much for the support since we reopened and we cannot wait to welcome you back on the 14th November.”
