Drayton Manor Announces Major Ticket Price Reduction for Easter Weekend Opening
Drayton Manor Resort in Tamworth is preparing to launch its main 2026 season with a significant promotional offer, slashing ticket prices by £11 for a single weekend during the Easter holidays. This special deal, branded as 'The Big Restart,' is designed to attract families and kick off the new season with excitement and affordability.
Exclusive Discount Details and Event Highlights
The discounted tickets will be available exclusively from Friday, March 27 to Sunday, March 29, 2026. During this period, visitors can purchase tickets for just £24.90, a substantial reduction from the standard price of £36 for adults and children over four years old. This represents a saving of over 30%, making it an ideal opportunity for budget-conscious families to enjoy a day out.
In addition to the price cut, the park will extend its operating hours on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29, staying open until 7pm. This late-night opening allows guests extra time to experience all the attractions, including the return of major rides that were closed during the February half-term. Previously, only Thomas Land and the zoo were operational, catering primarily to younger families.
New Entertainment and Seasonal Preparations
The weekend will also feature a brand-new end-of-day show on the lake, along with a fresh lineup of entertainment that includes special characters and surprises. A spokesperson for Drayton Manor emphasized the park's commitment to providing 'Epic Family Fun' and acknowledged that while all rides will be open, queues may be longer than usual as staff acclimate to the new season.
This promotional initiative follows Drayton Manor's recent accolade as the UK's Best Value Theme Park for the fourth consecutive year at the UK Theme Park Awards, underscoring its reputation for affordable family entertainment. After the discounted weekend, ticket prices will revert to normal for the remainder of the Easter holidays.
Visitors are encouraged to book tickets in advance through the Drayton Manor website to secure their spot during this limited-time offer. The park's reopening marks a vibrant start to the 2026 season, combining savings with enhanced experiences for all ages.
