If you have time, why not join the Community and Heritage Team for Crafternoon, a weekly drop-in craft activity for adults every Thursday.
From stitch to papercrafts, print to knit, try your hand at something new or bring along your own project, meet new people and share ideas. Our weekly sessions run from 10am to noon and 1pm to 3pm. Each session is £5 per person. There are only 12 spaces per session so pre-booking is encouraged.
There’s also an opportunity to get to know new people and chat about all things Wicksteed Park at the free Community Cuppa coffee mornings in the Learning Centre from 10am to noon on the second Friday of every month.
The Water Chute - judged the country’s Best Historic Ride in the 2022 UK Theme Park Awards - and all Wicksteed Park’s rides and attractions are open throughout the Easter holidays, from March 28 to April 12.
One of the oldest surviving water-based rides in the world and the oldest ride of its kind in the UK, the Water Chute is celebrating its centenary on Thursday April 2.
The 100-year-old ride’s significance has earned it Grade II-listed building status from Historic England for its architecture and design: it survives almost as it was built, and the rider experience is the same as when it first opened.
Wicksteed Park is marking the 100th anniversary – on Thursday April 2 – with a day of celebration, including allowing people to ride the Water Chute for just 100 pennies and inviting people to share their nostalgic memories of the ride from over the years.
