Gulliver’s Kingdom to open for the new season with a special Mother’s Day weekend

The popular destination at Matlock Bath will open its doors for the season on the weekend of March 14-15, with tickets priced from just £17.

Families can enjoy more than 30 fantastic rides including animatronic dinosaurs, the Drop Tower, Dino Falls and the Pirate Ship and explore the Upside Down House and the Safari Kingdom area, which has an adventure trail for youngsters.

Hannah Marsden, resort manager at Gulliver’s Kingdom, said: “Mother’s Day once again marks the start of a new season and it’s such a lovely way to welcome everyone back into the resort after being closed during the winter months.

“We have a great line-up of events and offers throughout 2026, including our Spring Spectacular during the Easter school holidays, when the Easter Bunny and Candy Crew will be hopping along to entertain youngsters. We can’t wait to welcome everyone, new visitors and regulars alike, to our Kingdom this year!”

If you want to give mum an extra special treat, why not turn your visit to Gulliver’s Kingdom into an overnight stay at the resort? There is a wide range of accommodation options available in its Explorers Retreat, including Pirate Cabins, Promenade Rooms, Princess or Wizard Suites and The Willows, a modern accommodation offering inspired by Kenneth Grahame’s classic novel, Wind in the Willows.

Gulliver’s Kingdom was established in 1978, the first of four resorts that now make up the Gulliver’s family, alongside Gulliver’s World in Warrington, Gulliver’s Land in Milton Keynes, and Gulliver’s Valley in Rotherham.

For a full year of fun at an unbeatable price of just £99 per person, a Gulliver's annual passport provides unlimited entry for 12 months to all Gulliver's theme parks around the country.
