Merlin Entertainments has slashed the price of its annual passes ahead of the Easter school holidays, with the Essential pass now available for £99. The spring sale, which runs until March 29, offers discounts on all three pass types.
The Essential Merlin Annual Pass, usually £139, is reduced to £99. It provides 339 days of unlimited entry to Merlin attractions, with restrictions on bank holidays and summer weekends. The Gold pass, which includes free parking and up to 20% off shops and restaurants, has been cut from £239 to £189. The Platinum pass, offering no date restrictions and four Bring a Friend tickets, is now £249, down from £299.
Monthly membership options are also discounted: Gold membership drops from £19.99 to £16.99 per month, and Platinum from £24.99 to £20.99 per month. Passholders can enjoy new attractions in 2026, including Alton Towers’ Bluey The Ride and the World of PAW Patrol at Chessington.
For those who prefer a single park, Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures offer annual passes starting at £64. Tesco Clubcard holders can exchange 50p worth of vouchers for £1 towards Thorpe Park tickets, and Blue Light Card holders can access special deals and Member Days.
