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 Wednesday confirmed that liquidators were appointed on January 28.
Nicholas Stafford of Hazlewoods LLP has been named as the liquidator to distribute the company's assets among shareholders and creditors. The park has reached the Resolutions for Winding Up stage, meaning it must stop trading except for activities necessary for the winding-up process.
The park, which has welcomed visitors since the 1940s as a camping and leisure facility, introduced rides in the 1970s and became a popular destination for holidaymakers from south Wales and other regions. Key attractions include the Bulldog Coaster, Terror Castle, NASA Rockets, and Sky Diver.
Admission to the park is free, with individual rides requiring credits purchased on-site or online. The park's website still advertises its 2026 opening date as March 14, but no public statement has been issued regarding permanent or temporary closure.
