Paultons Park Annual Passes

The Essential Pass gives you access to Paultons Park with no pre-booking required during our off-peak periods, the exact date for which Essential Passes are valid can be viewed here.

The Star Pass is the perfect middle ground, allowing you entry during our off peak periods including select weekends. You are also automatically enrolled into our Annual Pass discount scheme, giving you 10% discount on shop purchases and 20% discount on food and drinks! You can see the Star Pass calendar here.

Our Premium Passes allow entry to Paultons on any date the park is open. For most of the dates pre-booking is not required. See the Premium Pass calendar for more information.

We’re going green!

As part of our ongoing commitment to protecting our environment, all of our Annual Passes are now accessed digitally via the Paultons Park App. We are no longer printing plastic cards for our Annual Passes.

If you haven’t imported your Annual Pass into the app yet, all you need to do is download the app from your store and head to the Tickets and Account section – then press Import and scan the QR code on your physical pass! Your ticket will then be saved in the app and all you need to do is show the QR code on the app at the turnstiles!

If you decide to renew your ticket, the expiry date in your app will update automatically – it’s so easy!

Full Terms and Conditions apply.
