GULLIVER’S World is hosting a special event on New Year’s Eve.

The theme park in Old Hall is opening on the evening of December 31 to give families an alternative way of marking the big occasion.

Festive rides and attractions will be open from 5.30pm until 9.45pm, with a select few open 10.15pm until 11.30pm.

A New Year’s Eve party ticket, which cost £39 per person, includes all the rides and attractions, plus outdoor and indoor entertainment areas, entry to the Land of Lights Festival, and a fireworks display, with the party running until midnight.

Hot food will be available and there is a licensed bar.

Meanwhile, the New Year’s Eve premium ticket – £49 per person – includes all the above, plus a Pantomime Dinner Show in the Starlight Theatre, a meal, and the opportunity to experience the North Pole Express.

There is also the option to turn your visit into an overnight stay. The short break package includes everything from the premium ticket along with a night in one of the resort’s unique themed accommodation, which include Lost World Cabins, Pirate Suites, and Western Dens.

Craig Clews, resort director at Gulliver’s World, said: “We will have so much going on around the park that night, it will be a fabulous way to see out 2024 and welcome in the new year.

“Whether it is the festive rides and attractions, the entertainment, the food, the Land of Lights festival, or the accommodation packages that piques your interest – or indeed all of these – we want everyone to enjoy a spectacular New Year’s Eve experience, with our magnificent team looking after you.”
