Brean Theme Park Faces Liquidation; Unity Holiday Park and Others Unaffected

Brean Theme Park has officially entered the liquidation process, as revealed in a notice posted recently. The park is currently at the “Resolutions for Winding Up” stage, which requires it to halt normal operations except for what is necessary to manage the winding-down process. The liquidators were appointed on January 28, 2026, with Nicholas Stafford of Hazlewoods LLP overseeing the proceedings.

Impact on Brean’s Other Attractions

Importantly, the liquidation of Brean Theme Park does not affect several associated businesses. The Unity Holidays, Brean Splash, Brean Play, and Brean Gym will continue to operate as normal. A spokesperson clarified that while the theme park leases land from Unity Holidays, it remains an independent entity. They assured that ongoing investments would enhance these attractions as they prepare for the 2026 season.

Liquidation Process Details

The announcement of the liquidation includes the following resolutions:

  • The Company will be wound up voluntarily.
  • Nicholas Stafford (IP No: 27270) will serve as Liquidator.

The specifics of the winding-up process are designed to ensure the fair distribution of Brean Theme Park’s assets to shareholders and creditors. No details regarding a permanent or temporary closure of the park have been disclosed at this time.

Historical Context and Operational Insights

Brean Theme Park has been a staple in the local tourism landscape since its development began in the 1970s. It has garnered popularity among holidaymakers visiting Brean. The park typically operates from March to October, with free entry and various rides available for purchase through credits.

For the upcoming 2026 season, Brean Theme Park has announced a projected opening date of Saturday, March 14th. However, local businesses report a decline in trade and foot traffic over recent years. This reduction is attributed to the nearby Pontins holiday park primarily accommodating EDF Hinkley Point workers rather than vacationing families.

Conclusion

As the liquidation process unfolds, the focus remains on the continuation of operations at Unity Holidays and other attractions in Brean. Stakeholders are closely monitoring developments to understand the broader implications for local tourism.
