Brean Theme Park has ceased operations
A popular theme park which was open for decades has ceased trading.
Brean Theme Park in Somerset appointed liquidators last week, meaning the company has to stop trading unless it is required for the "winding-up process".
The family‑run park has operated as a camping and leisure site on Coast Road in the village of Brean since the 1940s, adding rides in the 1970s. By 2025, the site had more than 40 rides and opened seasonally from March to October.
But a spokesperson for the attraction's liquidators said the site had experienced "significant financial challenges" amid reduced visitor numbers following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nicholas Stafford, from liquidator Hazlewoods, said: "The company traded throughout the peak summer season of 2025, however revenue generated over that time was insufficient to enable the company to sustain operations through the park's usual winter closure."

Brean Theme Park has confirmed the date it will reopen to visitors following a period of uncertainty and behind‑the‑scenes work.
The popular attraction will officially reopen on Saturday 21st March, it has been confirmed this week.
In a new update, the park says it has been “truly overwhelmed” by the kindness shown in recent weeks.
A spokesperson said the comments, messages and shares from local people had given the team “a real boost during a challenging time.”
They added that staff have been working long days to prepare for the new season. “There’s a huge amount of hard work going on behind the scenes, all focused on one goal: making sure that when we reopen, we give you the brilliant, fun‑filled experience you deserve.”
The park says it is proud to have been part of family traditions and seaside memories for generations, describing Brean Theme Park as “more than just rides – it’s laughter, candyfloss, first rollercoasters and days out together.”
Early‑season dates, fireworks events and Season Passes are available to book here.
Brean Theme Park appointed liquidators on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026, however as we first reported here on February 11th, there are multiple operators of the theme park with just one affected, thereby enabling the park to continue trading.
