EVENT TIMES

The doors for Dreamnight will open from 6.30pm and last entry will be 7.30pm, so please ensure you arrive by this time. There may be a queue when you all arrive, but we will let everyone in as quickly as we can.

The Park will close at 9pm and then we will direct everyone to leave the Park via the exit gates.

TICKETS

We have sent out digital tickets via email to everyone who has booked a place for the event. Please ensure you have your ticket email (the one with the barcode) ready to scan when you arrive and that everyone on your booking is with you.

If you are arriving on a large group ticket, please arrange to meet everyone in your group in the car park before heading to the gate and ensure someone in the group has the ticket email ready to scan.

The event has limited capacity, so adults and carers also require a ticket to attend.

For any ticket queries, please contact your organisation directly. We aren't able to issue tickets directly to families, so ask that all requests are made via your organsation.

FILM & PHOTOGRAPHY

Our team will be capturing the magic of Dreamnight on both video and photo in all areas of the Park. By attending this event, you give permission for your photo to be taken. Should you not wish to be included in any content, please make yourself known to our photographers and they will be happy to ensure you are avoided.
