Drayton Manor Unveils Thrilling Summer Events and Free Returns

Drayton Manor is set to deliver an exciting summer filled with events, entertainment, and opportunities for guests to revisit the park, marking its 75th anniversary. Throughout July, visitors can enjoy the Wild West Fest, featuring live music and entertainment in the park’s popular Frontier Falls area. This event celebrates the first anniversary of the park’s newest rollercoaster, Gold Rush, which has quickly become a favorite among thrill-seekers.

From August 1 to August 30, the park will transform its Adventure Cove into the Draytona Beach Water Festival. This new attraction promises to bring the essence of beach life to the Midlands, complete with splash pools for children, giant sandpits filled with buckets and spades, and deck chairs for relaxation. The festival will also feature themed entertainment and live music, making it an ideal summer outing. Guests will have the chance to participate in giant water fights twice daily, turning Adventure Cove into a vibrant splash zone. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own water guns or purchase them on-site to join in the fun.

As part of its milestone celebrations, Drayton Manor will host two fireworks displays on August 2 and August 30. The park will extend its operating hours until 21:00 on these dates, allowing guests more time to enjoy their favorite rides and attractions. Additionally, from July 25 to August 31, the park will remain open until 20:00 every Friday and Saturday, providing even more opportunities for evening entertainment.

In another highlight, guests visiting between July 27 and August 30 will receive a free return ticket to visit anytime between September 1 and October 17, 2025. This initiative aims to encourage families to revisit the park and make the most of their summer experience.

Victoria Lynn, Managing Director of Drayton Manor, expressed her enthusiasm for the summer season: “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 more than 50 rides and attractions, alongside a 15-acre zoo, Drayton Manor offers a unique day out for families this summer. For those looking to extend their visit, the park’s onsite hotel features themed rooms, including those inspired by Vikings and Thomas and Friends.
