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.

Families across the UK can take advantage of BeWILDerwood's latest offer with 2-for-1 tickets at the Chesire park.

The offer is valid on dates between February 17, 2024, until February 25, 2024, but tickets are limited so customers have been encouraged to act fast.

Day tickets start from £20.50 for kids between 92cm and 105cm, while adults pay £22.50.

The latest offer means families get the cheapest ticket free when visiting the park, saving as much as £20.50.

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.

One person wrote: "What an amazing family adventure!"

Someone else added: "A fabulous day out. There are multiple slides, zip wires, mazes and treetop pathways to explore.

"Our 7 and 4 year old loved the whole experience including the free face painting and craft tent."

A third person said: "A wonderful day out for children in the fresh air, with lots to capture their imagination.

"Our Grandchildren loved the slides, zip wires and especially the sky maze. They had fun making the crafts and listening to the storytelling."

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

Amusement Park Puy du Fou in France is the second most popular theme park in Europe after Disneyland Paris.

Despite having no rides or rollercoasters, it attracts more than two million people a year.

The park near Les Epesses in western  first opened in 1978 and features historical re-enactments including Viking ship battles and kings fighting over lands - all set in the Middle Ages.
