Lightwater Valley to re-open to visitors on July 18th

Lightwater Valley has confirmed it is planning to re-open to visitors on Saturday, 18th July.

In order to manage numbers and ensure social distancing guidelines are maintained, the North Yorkshire theme park will initially be operating with reduced capacity and all visitors will need to pre-book tickets online.

Staff are also introducing a series of additional cleaning and hygiene measures on site and queue markers are in place to help visitors keep a safe distance apart.

The focus for this summer is on running the rides and parts of the park which are more suited to a younger family audience

While most of the rides will be open, The Ultimate, Raptor Attack and Apollo ride will remain closed, as will the indoor play areas.

A number of catering facilities will be open, as well as the gift shop, and visitors will need to use contactless card payments whenever possible.

Any visitor who has a temperature, or is showing any other signs of coronavirus, will be asked to stay at home and Lightwater Valley will re-schedule their visit for a future date.
