Brean Theme Park in Somerset, the UK's largest free-entry amusement park, has entered liquidation after more than 60 years of operation. A notice published in The Gazette on February 4 confirmed that liquidators were appointed on January 28, and the company has reached the Resolutions for Winding Up stage, meaning it must cease trading except for activities necessary for the winding-up process.
The park, which began as a camping and leisure facility in the 1940s, introduced rides in the 1970s and became a popular destination for holidaymakers from south Wales and beyond. Nicholas Stafford of Hazlewoods LLP has been appointed as liquidator to distribute the company's assets among shareholders and creditors.
Despite the liquidation, no official announcement has been made regarding a permanent or temporary closure. The park's website still advertises its 2026 opening date as March 14. Key attractions include the Bulldog Coaster, Terror Castle, NASA Rockets, and Sky Diver, with individual rides requiring credits purchased on-site or online.
The park typically operates from March to October each year. The Daily Express has contacted the park for comment but has not yet received a response.
