As Europe's Number 1 and the world's second-largest visitor attraction operator, Merlin now operates 130 attractions, 20 hotels and 6 holiday villages in 25 countries and across 4 continents. Merlin’s purpose is to deliver memorable experiences to its 67 million guests around the world, through its iconic global and local brands, and the commitment and passion of its c.28,000 employees (peak season). Merlin Entertainments is a privately-owned company and is headquartered in Poole, Dorset, UK. It has 29 number of attractions located within the UK, including Alton Towers, THORPE PARK, Chessington World of Adventures, Warwick Castle, LEGOLAND Windsor, The London Eye, Madame Tussauds and various SEA LIFE centres. 2020 has been Merlin’s most challenging year to date, as the vast majority of our 130 attractions around the world were closed for part of the pandemic, including all of our UK attractions which had to shut their doors between March and June / July, missing out on their busiest and most crucial trading period. When these attractions did safely re-open, they benefited from the pandemic staycation boost, but with significantly reduced capacity to enable social distancing. With a lower footfall, our UK attractions have not been able to provide so many seasonal jobs; nor generate substantial additional spend from our guests for the wider community surrounding our attractions and local visitor economies. We note that at the first stage of this inquiry the Treasury Committee invited evidence on the speed, effectiveness and reach of the Government’s and Bank of England’s immediate financial responses to coronavirus, before subsequently examining the impact on the economy and different sectors; and looking at how the Government can work towards a sustained recovery.

  • Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
    Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. With origins that can be traced to annual fairs and 18th-century pleasure grounds, and much influenced by America’s Coney Island amusement park of the 1890s, England has one of the finest amusement park and fairground ride heritages in the world. A surprising amount survives today. The most notable site is Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Lancashire, which has an unrivalled heritage of pre-1939 fairground rides. Other early survivals in England include scenic railways at Margate and Great Yarmouth, and water splash rides in parks at Kettering, Kingston-upon-Hull and Scarborough that date from the 1920s. This guidance note has been written by Allan Brodie and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ Published by Historic England June 2015.
