Woodland theme park with no rides or technology offering free extra tickets this half term & last year’s ‘sold out fast’
A UK theme park that has no technology or loud rides is offering families free tickets this half term - but you'll need to act fast.
BeWILDerwood first opened in 2007 in Norfolk, followed by a second park in 2021 in Cheshire.
The sprawling play parks are based on a series of fantasy books by author Tom Blofeld.
Within the technology-free attraction, families will find slides, storytelling stages, zip lines and den-building activities.
Other activities at BeWILDerwood Cheshire include the Wobbly Wires, the Slippery Slopes, the Broken Bridge and Curious Treehouses.
None of the attractions features any technology either, so kids can enjoy going back to basics.

Kids under 92cm go free, as well as pregnant guests and wheelchair users.
Annual passes are also cheaper this year, costing between £45 and £75 for the year, which allow unlimited visits to the park when it is open.
Seasonal events run throughout the year, including a Christmas Light Trail and a Halloween Lantern Parade.
Tom Blofeld, author of the BeWILDerwood series, told the : "After all this chilly weather, we want to spread some BeWILDerwood magic and get people back outdoors again!
"It’s a chance to get together and explore the enchanting world full of curious BeWILDerwood characters, giant slides and family fun.
“We really do recommend snapping tickets up quick as demand was so high last year that we actually sold out!"
The outdoor adventure park has been praised by holidaymakers on TripAdvisor.

Another theme park in Europe also doesn't have any rides - despite being a hit with fans.
