THORPE PARK Active Deals, Sales & Codes in June, 2026

Thorpe Park launched in 1979 on the site of a former gravel quarry in Chertsey, Surrey, and has since grown into one of Britain’s best-known theme parks. It’s part of Merlin Entertainments, the group behind Alton Towers and Legoland, drawing visitors from across the country with a line-up built almost entirely around high-intensity rides.

That roster reads like a checklist for adrenaline junkies. Stealth launches from 0 to 80 mph in under two seconds. Colossus packs ten inversions into a single ride — it held the world record when it opened. Saw – The Ride drops riders beyond vertical from 100 feet, and the more recent Hyperia has added another dimension to the park’s appeal. Families and younger visitors aren’t overlooked, though, with gentler rides and attractions dotted around the site.

Ticket pricing is flexible enough to suit most budgets. Advance day passes start from around £32, student tickets from around £21, and group bookings (10 or more) from roughly £27 per person — saving over 50% on standard rates. Annual passes begin at roughly £64 and include 20% off food, drink and retail. Overnight packages at the Thorpe Shark Hotel combine two-day entry with accommodation from approximately £77 per person, plus free parking worth £12. Digital photo packages, newsletter offers and periodic Amazon gift card promotions provide additional savings.

Between advance booking rates, student pricing and the deals collected below, there’s rarely a reason to pay full gate price — worth bookmarking this page before you book.

When’s the best time to book Thorpe Park for the lowest prices?

Book as far ahead as your plans allow — advance online tickets start from roughly £32, well below gate prices, and the further out you book, the more date options sit at the lowest price tier. October historically sees steep discounts, driven by Fright Nights and half-term competition among ticket sellers. Quiet weekdays outside school holidays are another window worth targeting.

Is a day ticket or annual pass better value?

Two visits a year and an annual pass at around £64 pays for itself — the 20% discount on food, drink and retail compounds over multiple trips. Day tickets from £32 make more sense for one-off visits. Regular visitors often upgrade to a Merlin Annual Pass, which extends access across Alton Towers, Legoland and other parks in the group.

Are overnight packages worth it compared to buying separately?

For families, frequently yes. The Thorpe Shark Hotel package bundles two-day park entry with accommodation from roughly £77 per person, free parking worth £12 and one-hour fast-track on your second morning. If you’d already budgeted for two day tickets, parking and a night’s hotel separately, the package usually undercuts that — and the fast-track perk saves real queue time.

What should I check before completing a booking?

Read the offer terms on each deal card — some are date-restricted, others require booking through Thorpe Park’s direct portal rather than third-party sites. Student and NHS discounts need eligibility verification before the reduced rate appears at checkout. Age and height restrictions apply on certain rides, so check the park’s ride guide if you’re visiting with younger children.
