Dreamland is considered to be the oldest-surviving in Great Britain:

Following a £25 million investment from Arrowgrass Capital Partners, Dreamland reopened in May 2017. The park has been re-landscaped and has meticulously restored vintage rides, world-class entertainment spaces, modern interactive art installations, contemporary street food, bars, restaurants and live entertainment with a backdrop of Margate beach.

On Friday 3rd November 2017, Sands Heritage Limited, trading as Dreamland Margate, successfully exited administration. This has been followed by a corporate reorganisation that will put Dreamland in a strong position for the future.
