100days, 100images, 100years

Wicksteed Park is celebrating its centenary this year having officially opened in May 1921.

To recognise this milestone we are sharing a daily image of photos and memorabilia over for 100 days from May to September, these have been collected through the decades and held in the archive.

We will be sharing via our Wicksteed Park Heritage on Instagram and Facebook.

We are looking to further build the archive and are asking people to look in their cupboards, lofts or mobile downloads for images and memorabilia.

If you have anything you wish to share and help build the archive for the future please get in touch with Tracey Clarke our  Community and Heritage Manager via email community@wicksteedpark.org for further details.

Customer Reviews

"We all had a fantastic time here plenty of car parking. Me, my daughter, Niece, and Grandson and there's lots to do here, including lovely walks and fun rides, plenty of eating places too. We took our own picnic though there were plenty of seating areas. We were able to buy extra drinks and ice lolly on our walk around the rides. Plenty of toilet facilities too. The staff were lovely and friendly here, would definitely recommend it here for a fun day out."
Katrina
"Took my granddaughters they loved it. There is plenty to do and lots of free play area's . The ride tickets are good value at one pound when you have more than one child to pay for. Parking good . Food stalls and drinks can be purchased. Excellent day out."
Lesley
"A good day out, with a great selection of activities for young children. We bought wristbands but probably would have been cheaper to buy the tickets as these were only £1 each in August. Amazing play park which is free to use. Great grounds to have a picnic. Would recommend."

"We camped here this week, and all had a blast!!! It was so well-priced. We were one of the first in the park. The camping was quiet, and the kids absolutely loved all the places to walk!!! Thank you!"

"I just got back from the park, it was great seeing so many people all smiling, the parks looking wonderful and the special August offer of £1 a ride is a great offer. Well done wickies."
Peter
"First time visiting this park and wasn’t disappointed. Such a lovely place. Couldn’t decide to either buy wristbands or tokens. Family of four. Two adults. 6 year old and nearly 2 year old 0.8m tall. Wristbands were the cheaper option in the end. Staff friendly and happy. Food was really tasty. We ate in the American diner. We couldn’t do the whole park we got there at midday so we ran out of time. We will come back and come earlier in the day."
