Camelot Theme Park

Chorley, United Kingdom

Camelot Theme Park was a family-oriented amusement park located in Charnock Richard near Chorley, Lancashire, United Kingdom, which operated from 1983 until its closure in 2012.

The park's theme was based on the legend of King Arthur and Camelot, featuring medieval-style decor and rides aimed at families and children, including thrill rides such as roller coasters Whirlwind and Knightmare. Over time, visitor numbers declined due to poor weather and major events like the 2012 Olympics and Jubilee celebrations dominating the summer season.

Despite several ownership changes and attempts to revive the park, it closed permanently after the 2012 season. Following its closure, many rides were sold or relocated, and the site has since been mostly cleared, with some buildings and remnants remaining. Between 2022 and early 2025, the park's site hosted seasonal Halloween-themed horror experiences, but redevelopment plans, including housing projects, have faced repeated rejections by local authorities.
