Work has begun on the new Gulliver’s family theme park resort – with the
developers looking to open to the public in spring 2020.
The development – which Gulliver’s say will be their “most ambitious theme
park to date” was granted planning permission by Rotherham Council last
year.
The Gulliver’s Valley resort, which will be situated on the 250 acre former
Pithouse West site between Wales Bar and Aston in the south of the borough,
will include a main theme park hub along with family-friendly accommodation
with glamping, self-catering woodland lodges and the central Lilliput Castle
Hotel.
Councillor Denise Lelliott, Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs and
the Local Economy said: “I’m really excited to see work starting on this
major development for Rotherham and what promises to be a catalyst for
economic growth and job creation in the area.
“I look forward to seeing work progress on the site and the hard work and
planning over the past few years coming to fruition.
“With work now starting on Gulliver’s, and the new caravan and campsite
facilities at nearby Rother Valley Country Park also progressing well, I
hope the area will be welcoming in many visitors in the not-too-distant
future.”
Gulliver’s aims to open its brand-new Valley Resort in 2020 which will
include a main theme park hub, with rides and attractions aimed at children
aged two to 13 and their families. Gulliver’s Valley will also include an
indoor water play zone, a climbing centre, a glades attraction, and an
education and ecology centre encompassing forest classrooms and outdoor
learning adventures for young children.
The resort will also offer family-friendly accommodation in the shape of
glamping, self-catering woodland lodges and the central Lilliput Castle
Hotel. The development will encompass Gully’s Dream Village, a community
where children with life-threatening illnesses can be given the chance to
enjoy cost-free respite in a magical environment.
In addition, nature trails, walks, outdoor gyms and woodland runs at
Gulliver’s Valley will be available to be used by the local community as
well as visitors to the theme park.
Members of the public can keep up to date with news and developments via the
Gulliver’s Valley website and Facebook page.
