Drayton Manor Celebrates 75th with Thrilling Rides and Festive Spectacle

In a move to celebrate its 75th anniversary, Drayton Manor theme park in the UK's Midlands region will be keeping its major rides open throughout December 2025, defying the typical winter closure. Visitors to the park during this time will be able to experience a range of thrilling attractions, from water rides to roller coasters like Gold Rush, The Wave, and Maelstrom.

Additionally, Drayton Manor is set to debut a brand-new end-of-day spectacle called "Drayton Manor's Christmas Miracle." This festive show will take place on the park's historic lake and feature a 30-meter water screen, over 65 choreographed water jets, dramatic fire effects, vibrant lighting, and magical animations. The park's managing director, Victoria Lynn, has promised that this new attraction will offer "an epic day of exhilarating fun for all the family this December."

Alongside the thrilling rides and the Christmas Miracle show, Drayton Manor will also be hosting a variety of other holiday-themed activities. Guests may encounter cheerful elves engaging in snowball fights, marshmallow toasting, and cookie decorating in the Vikings Land area. The park's Castle Grotto will also return, with Mrs. Claus providing an enchanting story-time experience for visitors.
