  • Make Staffordshire Your Great Escape Submitted By: Morris & Company Tuesday, 1 April 2008
    Make Staffordshire Your Great Escape Submitted by: Morris & Company Tuesday, 1 April 2008 If you want to know about the history of beer, how servants lived in the 18th century or how delicate pottery is manufactured, then spend some time in Staffordshire, where there really is something for everyone. While cheap flights from regional airports lure more people to far-flung cities, it’s easy to forget that there are some unbeatable locations just a short drive from home. Situated less than an hour from Birmingham and Manchester and just two hours from London by train, Staffordshire is within easy reach for a short break. If you are looking for an action packed weekend, the county’s two theme parks offer adrenalin fuelled adventure. The Alton Towers Resort is more than just a theme park, with two hotels, an indoor water park and a luxury spa. At Drayton Manor Theme Park the new attraction is Europe's first Thomas Land, where you can meet Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. It's also home to the world's first stand-up tower drop 'Apocalypse'. The Tamworth SnowDome has the very best action on real snow with the world's first indoor snowmobile track, the UK's only children's snowplay area, all-round skiing, tobogganing and 'adrenalin tubing'. By contrast you can enjoy a subtropical aquapark with rides, rapids and flumes at Waterworld, in Stoke-on-Trent. Entrance to all four of these family attractions is available in a unique 4-in-1 Thrill Hopper ticket. Priced at just £39.95 or just £119.95 for a family of four, the ticket offers exceptional value.

Drayton Manor Theme Park, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, will end its action packed 2014 season with two weeks of spectacularly spooky half term fun which will be rounded off with one of the biggest and best fireworks display in the midlands. Taking place from Saturday 18th to Friday 31st October, you are in for a treat this Halloween at Europe’s only Thomas Land™. Thomas and his friends have been hard at work delivering pumpkins and decorating the attraction to make this the spookiest Halloween yet. Children can get involved with pumpkin carving in our Discovery Centre*, and will also get the chance to get up close and personal to some of the animals that take up residence there. Other activities such as arts and crafts in the Discovery Centre will also be on offer over the two weeks so children can be guaranteed more treat than trick this Halloween. The excitement does not end there; we will be finishing off this fun filled fortnight with one of the biggest fireworks extravaganzas in the midlands. Taking place on Saturday 1st November and Sunday 2nd November, the fireworks weekend will be hosted by presenters for Free Radio and will culminate in a 25 minute show, all set to music over the lake to give you a truly breathtaking experience. With the fireworks beginning at 7pm (last admission is 6pm), a whole host of rides will remain open until 9pm, so the thrills can continue into the evening.

    News release Drayton Manor takes #IceBucketChallenge to new heights Drayton Manor Theme Park, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, has taken the ice bucket challenge to soaring new heights – a 53 metre height to be exact, as staff members experienced the icy chills from the top of its Apocalypse ride, making it the highest suspended attempt at the freezing feat in the UK. David Bromilow, General Manager of Park Operations, Mark Tierney, General Manager of Catering, John Cooper, Guest Services Manager, and Ian Smith, Ticketing Manager, all braced themselves for the simultaneous icy dousing and plunging free fall drop of the thrill ride, which can be watched online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw_SABbKqSw&list=UU8euo9G5RGgXuORCtKs22QA The award-winning theme park has also made a donation to the Motor Neurone Disease Association as part of the challenge. Not wanting to break with tradition, Drayton Manor has extended the invite to undertake the challenge that is sweeping the nation to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, West Midlands Safari Park, and Six Flags Group in America.
