Flambards Event Guide 2020

If you are looking for something suitable for the whole family to do when staying at Sandbank Holidays then Flambards Theme Park is a great choice. I remember visiting Flambards at least twice a year when I was a child and have some fantastic memories of fun filled family days out. There are places to eat within the park but you are also welcome to bring in your own picnic to enjoy on one of the many grassy areas dotted around the park. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome at Flambards but they are not permitted in the indoor attractions so please bear this in mind when planning your trip.

The adventurous among you will love braving the sky-high thrill rides and the younger children can enjoy the undercover soft play area and rides designed for toddlers. Flambards is much more than just a theme park, it's a Cornish institution that is a must see for families visiting for their holidays. What's more, for just a small £3 charge, you can upgrade your ticket enabling you to come back free of charge for the next 6 days after your initial visit.    

There's much more than rides though; discover dinosaurs in the Jurassic Journey and uncover fossils in the Dino Dig. One of the most interesting things to do is stepping back in time in the life-size Victorian Village and experience Britain in the Blitz in the award-winning indoor attractions. If rides aren't your thing then it would be worth going on what Flambards refer to as a blue day, the price of admission is cheaper but only the indoor attractions are open. It's best to check their website before you visit so you know what will and will not be open before you make the journey there. You can find this information at https://www.flambards.co.uk/ or alternatively you can give them a ring on 01326 573404.

​Take a look below to see some of the family friendly events Flambards are putting on this year.
