UK's biggest outdoor waterpark reopens for Easter

The UK’s biggest outdoor waterpark will reopen for Easter weekend, from Friday, 18 April, to Monday, 21 April.

Splashdown Quaywest at Goodrington is preparing for the new season with an opening weekend ahead of its official summer opening on Saturday, 3 May.

Organisers have said they are looking forward to welcoming families and adrenaline-seekers alike to this unique attraction along the English Riviera coastline.

The park features 16 water attractions, including eight high-energy slides of varying difficulty. Among them are the UK’s tallest and fastest flume, the Devil’s Drop, and the Screamer, which includes a heart-pounding 60-degree drop.

Younger visitors can enjoy Shipwreck Island, a 2024 addition featuring interactive play with tipping buckets, sprays, and child-friendly slides. The park also offers a 20-metre swimming pool, sun terraces, and a range of hospitality options.

Our location on the English Riviera makes us a standout destination, perfect for both families and thrill-seekers.

Splashdown Quaywest's 2025 reopening coincides with the busy Easter holiday period, an important time for the English Riviera’s tourism scene.
