Dreamland Margate

Margate, United Kingdom

Dreamland Margate in Margate, United Kingdom, is a heritage seaside amusement park with roots tracing back to 1880 on a former marsh site, rebranded in 1920 by John Henry Iles who added the iconic Grade II* listed Scenic Railway wooden rollercoaster that remains the UK's oldest operational one.

It peaked in the mid-20th century as a vibrant funfair with rides, a ballroom, cinema, and gardens drawing millions, but declined by the 2000s, closing in 2005 amid fires damaging the Scenic Railway before community campaigns led to restoration and reopening in 2015 under Thanet District Council ownership.

Today it blends vintage charm with modern events like music festivals, featuring classic rides such as the Scenic Railway, helter-skelter, dodgems, and carousel alongside a cinema, roller rink, and beachfront location perfect for nostalgic family outings.
