Inside Margate’s revamped Dreamland amusement park
MY trips to Magaluf and Thailand never much impressed Nanny Marie, but her failing eyes lit up with the news I was taking the family off to Margate.
The focus of our trip was seafront amusement park Dreamland. It reopened four years ago as a heritage attraction with 17 rides spanning the decades, from its 1920s beginnings right up to the modern day.There are now 26 rides to keep even the fussiest theme park addict happy. There are plenty of classics, with some good modern ones thrown in.
Seafood vans flogging whelks and cockles have — perhaps sadly for some — been replaced by artisan sourdough pizzas and vegan options. Sadly, because of the occasional April shower, the world’s biggest bouncy castle was out of bounds, but it will provide hours of fun on brighter days.If rain does stop play, there is always the roller disco and vintage games arcade with a fantastic array of pinball machines and more.
