Paultons Park has taken home four gold trophies in the UK Theme Park Awards, further cementing its status as the UK’s favourite family theme park.
The Hampshire-based park and the home of Peppa Pig World beat off strong competition to win Best Theme Park for Families (large) and Best Theme Park for Toddlers (large) in the national awards, recognising the park’s outstanding offering for family guests of all ages across its five themed worlds, spanning 140 acres of parkland.
The park took home the top award for Best New Food Outlet for Grande Central Café and Restaurant, illustrating how the stylish and comfortable eating destination has been an immediate hit with guests.
Paultons Park was also lauded for its guest relations with a further Gold award in the Best Customer Service (large) category.
Lawrence Mancey, Marketing & Technology Director, commented: “We are all thrilled to be recognised for the quality of our family-friendly offering and our dining experience here at Paultons Park. The UK Theme Park Awards are voted for by the public, which means everything to us as our purpose has always been to delight guests of every age and provide wonderful family memories.
“In addition, to receive the Gold Award for Best Customer Service is testament to the hundreds of people in our teams who work so hard to ensure that every single guest has an exceptional time when visiting Paultons Park.”
Paultons Park took home the Best Sustainability Initiative Bronze award for its ‘Paultons Promise’, the Park’s commitment to operate responsibly and fairly, covering areas such as environmental care, community engagement, and guest and staff wellbeing. The Park also received Bronze for Best New Entertainment for Blast Off! A Space Rocket Adventure, which guides the audience on a thrilling journey through space.
The UK Theme Park Awards wins build upon a tremendous year of accolades for Paultons Park. The destination has been recognised for having the lowest ride wait times* of any family theme park, with data showing that queues are 50% shorter than other UK attractions. Paultons Park also enjoys guest-verified recognition as the UK’s number one family theme park, with an average 4.7 out of 5 on Google Reviews, as well as consistently topping the charts as the best-ranked theme park in England according to Tripadvisor users.
Lawrence added, “We’re excited to continue to build on our fantastic offering for the whole family. Next May sees the launch of our interactive dark ride, Ghostly Manor, which promises a world-first experience and epic new adventure. But that’s not all – we have major plans in the works for 2026, when we’ll introduce a whole new world for our guests to explore!”
The winners of the UK Theme Park Awards were announced at a ceremony on the 19th September 2024 at Thorpe Park. For more information, visit www.ukthemeparkawards.com .
