Over the winter months, Dreamland Margate has undergone significant renovations.

Dreamland Margate is opening to the public for the 2023 season on 1 April with a new family coaster and miniature golf attraction.

Per a release, Dreamland Margate will feature a host of new family rides and attractions, as well as its classic favourites. This year, guests will also enjoy new pop-ups, art installations and outdoor screenings.

Over the winter months, the UK amusement park has undergone significant renovations. The park’s Mirror Maze and pinball machines have been reimagined.

“We’ve got a bumper season planned for 2023 with new additions to our ride lineup, plus a packed programme of entertainment and live music,” said Eddie Kemsley, CEO of Dreamland.

James Penfold, the head of live entertainment, said: “At Dreamland we continually strive to bring a diverse and eclectic lineup of acts and performers to Margate, and we are honoured to host such artists as Kool & the Gang, Primal Scream, Olly Murs, Tom Jones and Annie Mac.”

Reimagined rides and attractions

“The venue continues to grow in stature, promoters put on some of their most memorable shows here and the artists love playing in our various venues. 2023 is shaping up to be another brilliant year for music in Margate.”

Dreamland Margate is open for weekends and holidays until the end of September. It is free to enter, with rides and amusements available on a pay per ride/play basis.

This year, a new series called Dreamland, starring Lily Allen and Freema Agyeman, will air on Sky Atlantic. It features the amusement park and other Margate locations.
