Dreamland

Dreamland: the picture perfect, ‘all-you-can-treat’ seaside sensation, your one stop shop of culture, food, festival fun and must-try rides. Granny will say 'this takes me back' and the little ones will squeal 'again, again!'

We're the pride of Margate, the UK's unofficial capital of cool. And so much more than just an amusement park. Dreamland is where ‘age’ is left at the gate. Strap on some roller skates or get interactive with art exhibits, alongside all your classic seaside food favourites. Don’t forget to hold that smile as you're waltzed, flung or dizzied on one of 25 gum-flashing rides, because around every (rollercoaster) corner could be your next most 'liked' Instagram post.

We have more than 25 rides, classics old and new, for little big kids and big little ones too. There’s Teddy and Betty land for the smallest smile-seekers and the Scenic Stage is the place to find your new outdoor anthem. And keep an eye on the skies for our Seagull mascot, cos he’s certainly got his eye firmly locked on your chips!

Whether you’re looking to thrill or chill, it’s the place to find your smile, over and over again. ‘Shake it all about’ in a park-wide game of hokey cokey, enjoy your first game of pass the parcel in years (top tip: hold on a couple of seconds too long). Then watch the sun go down with a frosty one in the Roof Top Bar.

And the fun doesn't stop there. Dreamland is fast becoming UK's coolest music venue. Gorillaz and Sara Cox have sold us out (in a good way) and the big names keep on coming to our sunset sessions.

At the end of the day, cheeks will be sore from all the smiling, phones are bursting with selfies and it’s time to collect Dad from the roof top bar.

Because, we’ve had the time of our lives…
