Dreamland Margate Is Considered to Be the Oldest-Surviving Amusement Park in Great Britain

Dreamland Margate is considered to be the oldest-surviving amusement park 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. The phased expansion planned for Dreamland includes the addition of more rides in 2018 to cater for families and thrill-seekers alike. The events programme will grow exponentially throughout the coming year.
