Grandparents will get free entry to Gulliver's Valley theme park near Sheffield next weekend

The theme park and resort will celebrate Grandparents' Weekend on October 2 and 3, with a special offer which will see two grandparents receive free entry into Gulliver's Valley when accompanied by at least one full paying person.

This is the first ever Grandparents Weekend to be held at Gulliver’s Valley Resort and organisers say it will give them an opportunity to spoil their grandkids with a ‘fantastic day out’.

Gulliver's Valley offers a range of rides and attractions to suit all generations. For those who prefer a gentler experience, there are rides like the Toyland Ferris Wheel and Gully Town Carousel.

For thrill-seekers and daredevils there are rides like The Gyrosaur and Grand Prix Racers, which are sure to set pulses racing.

Andy Flowers, resort manager at Gulliver’s Valley, said: "Grandparents Weekend is one of our favourite events and we're looking forward to welcoming grandparents and their grandchildren to Gulliver's Valley.

"It's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some magical moments together that will live long in the memory."
