Brean Theme Park, a beloved attraction in Somerset, has entered liquidation, according to recently published official documents. Located at Coast Road, Brean Sands, the park appointed liquidators last week, moving into the formal Resolutions for Winding Up stage. This development mandates that the business cease trading, except for activities strictly necessary to finalize the winding-up process.
Operating since the 1940s, Brean Theme Park originally began as a camping and leisure site before expanding in the 1970s to include a variety of rides. Over the years, it has grown into a much-loved family destination, drawing visitors from across Somerset and neighbouring regions like Gloucestershire and Bristol.
Nicholas Stafford of Hazlewoods LLP has been appointed as the liquidator, responsible for overseeing the fair distribution of the company’s assets to shareholders and creditors. This appointment took effect on January 28.

So far, the park has not released a public statement regarding its liquidation. Attempts to reach the management for comment have not yet yielded a response, and it remains unclear whether the closure will be permanent or temporary.
An official notice detailed the resolution, stating that the company would be wound up voluntarily and Mr Stafford would serve as liquidator. Despite this, related entities such as Brean’s Unity Holidays, Brean Splash, Brean Play, and Brean Gym are unaffected and continue to operate as usual. A spokesperson reassured the public that while Brean Theme Park leases land from Unity Holidays, it is a separate business entity.
Brean Theme Park typically welcomes visitors seasonally from March through October and is known for its standout attractions like the Bulldog Coaster, Terror Castle, NASA Rockets, and the Sky Diver. Admission to the park has always been free, with rides accessed via purchased credit tokens. The park’s website continues to list March 14, 2026, as its reopening date.
Visitors have consistently praised the park for offering a fun family experience with friendly staff and manageable ride queues. Comments from recent years highlight the park’s appeal despite its modest size, underscoring the mix of thrills and activities available for both younger children and teenagers.
As the liquidation proceeds, the future of this Somerset theme park remains uncertain, leaving loyal visitors and the local community hopeful for a positive outcome.
