Woodlands Theme Park charity day returns

Bosses at Woodlands Family Theme Park have announced the return of their popular charity day in support of Children with Cancer UK. 

The event will take place on Monday, July 21, with all ticket sales donated to the charity.

Last year’s fundraiser raised £19,053.90 for the organisation, which supports families affected by childhood cancer and funds life-saving research.

Located near Dartmouth, Woodlands is the largest theme park in Devon and offers a wide range of attractions for all ages. 

Visitors can explore 10 fun-packed themed play zones featuring rides, a zoo farm, one of the South West’s largest indoor play areas, and water-based activities — making it a family day out suitable in any weather.

Tickets are now available exclusively via the park’s website and must be booked by midnight on Sunday 20 July. Prices are reduced for the event, with tickets costing £12.50 for adults and children, and £10 for senior citizens and guests with disabilities.

Children with Cancer UK was established in 1988 and has raised more than £300 million since its launch. Funds are used to support vital research, to improve treatment and to help families during and after diagnosis.

Children with Cancer UK’s head of research, Dr Sultana Choudhry said: “We have a long-standing commitment to fund research to accelerate scientific discoveries to clinical translation of new treatments and better outcomes for children with cancer. Through funding vital research, we continue to improve outcomes for children with cancer and work towards achieving our vision of a world where every child and young person survives a cancer diagnosis.”

Woodlands said it was proud to support the charity and looked forward to welcoming visitors for a day that “combines fun with fundraising”.
