Lightwater Valley will re-open to visitors on Saturday July 18, but its most popular ride The Ultimate will remain closed.
To ensure social distancing, the theme park will initially operate with a reduced capacity and all visitors must pre-book tickets online.

Staff will introduce extra cleaning and hygiene measures on site and queue markers are being put in place to help visitors keep a safe distance apart. Some on-site cafes and the gift shop will also reopen.
General Manager Colin Bowes said:
“We’re delighted to be able to start welcoming visitors back but we also know how crucial it is that they feel safe.
“We’ve allowed ourselves a little extra time to ensure everything is fully in place for opening on the 18th and we’re confident we’ve been able to accommodate a range of protective measures without compromising the visitor experience”
Any visitor who shows symptoms of coronavirus will be asked to return home.
