Summer 2026 Deals: The Best Time to Book
This summer is shaping up to be a great time to visit Thorpe Park, with two key promotions running alongside each other.
2nd Day Free Summer Sale: Book by 19th July 2026
For anyone considering an overnight stay, this is one of the most valuable offers available right now. Book a short break package by 23:59 on 19th July 2026 for stays between 24th June and 1st October 2026, and your second day of theme park entry is completely free.

Entry tickets are valid for two consecutive days and are non-transferable, so they're issued to named guests only. This offer applies to new bookings only.
Summer VAT Savings on Day Tickets
Even if you're just visiting for the day, reduced VAT pricing applies to visits between 25th June and 1st September 2026, with tickets available from £29.75 per person when booked online. Compared to the standard walk-up price of up to £66, that's a significant saving, particularly for families booking multiple tickets.

Thorpe Park's short break packages are worth considering if you want to make the most of your visit. Several bundles are available for 2026, each offering strong value compared to booking elements separately.
- From £68 per person: Breaks with All Day Fastrack, including one day in the park, one night in the Cabins, and unlimited Fastrack on selected dates.
- From £77 per person: Standard 2026 short breaks, including two-day theme park entry and first-hour Fastrack.

- From £61 per person: Bed and breakfast option for those who've already purchased their park tickets separately.
Annual Passes: Best Value for Regular Visitors
If you're planning more than a couple of visits, an annual pass is almost certainly the smarter financial choice. Here's a breakdown of what's available.
Thorpe Park Annual Pass: £64 per Year
The entry-level Thorpe Park Annual Pass gives you 189 days of access from March to November, with a small number of exclusion dates. At £64 for the year, it pays for itself after just two visits compared to buying individual tickets. Passholders also get 10% off Fastrack and Reserve & Ride, plus 25% off admission to selected Merlin Gateway attractions like SEA LIFE centres and the London Eye.
Merlin Annual Passes: Access to 20+ Attractions
For those who want to visit multiple Merlin attractions across the UK, including Alton Towers Resort, Chessington World of Adventures, and LEGOLAND Windsor, a Merlin Annual Pass unlocks access to over 20 sites. There are three tiers to choose from:
- Merlin Essential Pass: £139/year — Access to all Merlin attractions with 25 exclusion dates, plus 10% off Fastrack.
- Merlin Gold Pass: £239/year (or £19.99/month) — Up to 15% off short breaks, free parking, up to 20% off shops and restaurants, and up to 50% off friends and family tickets.
- Merlin Platinum Pass: £299/year (or £24.99/month) — No exclusions, four free friends and family tickets per year, one free one-shot Fastrack per visit, free Coke Freestyle cup with two refills, and up to 20% off VIP experiences.
Gold and Platinum passholders also benefit from the Merlin Holiday Club, saving up to 15% on overnight stays at Thorpe Park resort hotels.
Student Discounts at Thorpe Park
Students in further or higher education can access discounted day tickets online, a straightforward way to avoid paying the full standard adult price at the gate. Tickets must be purchased in advance online and collected at the Island Ticket Centre with a valid student photo ID. Accepted forms of ID include Student Beans, UNIDAYS, TOTUM cards, NUS cards, and any photo ID from a university, college, or apprenticeship scheme with a valid expiry date. International student IDs are also accepted. The student discount is also available on selected Fright Nights dates.
For students who visit regularly, the Thorpe Park Annual Pass at £64 is also worth considering. It's designed to work well during term time, and exclusion dates are mostly limited to peak periods.
VIP Experiences: Worth It for the Right Group
If you want to skip the queues entirely, Thorpe Park's VIP packages offer front-of-line access with a personal host. There are three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The Gold package includes a pizza pasta buffet lunch, unlimited digital photos, and priority parking on top of the standard VIP perks. Packages are limited and sell out quickly, so booking in advance is strongly recommended. To enquire about a VIP package, you can email the team directly at [email protected].
Gift Vouchers: A Flexible Way to Give Thrills
Thorpe Park offers two types of gift vouchers: day ticket gift vouchers and short break gift vouchers. The short break version lets you choose the amount, which can then be put towards an overnight stay at the resort. Both are available via the Thorpe Park website and make a practical gift for anyone who'd rather experience something than receive something.
Local Residents and Free Parking
If you live near Thorpe Park, it's worth checking the Local Resident Passport programme, which provides nearby residents with specific perks and information on how to collect a pass. Separately, free standard car parking is available for Merlin Gold and Platinum Annual Passholders and guests staying at the Thorpe Shark Cabins, a useful saving given that advance parking typically costs around £12.
