Work has started to restore Britain's oldest surviving rollercoaster at the Dreamland amusement park in Margate.

Built in 1920, the Scenic Railway fell into disrepair when the attraction closed in 2005 and was then badly damaged by an arson attack in 2008. The refurbishment of the Grade II* listed ride is part of an £18m project to reopen the amusement park in 2015. The rollercoaster will be dismantled and gradually re-built over 10 months with all the wooden parts being replaced.

With spooky happenings and supernatural goings-on taking place across the theme park, Frightwater Valley is the place to be seen this Halloween.

Between 31st October and 2nd November 2014 from 10am until 6.30pm each day, if you dare, watch light turn to dark as the valley becomes shrouded in a menacing cloak of supernatural delight.

Are you ready to hear the screams from the rides and attractions and shrieks from the terrifying Pasaje del Terror. This Halloween zombies and vampires await!

Vampire Pleasure Beach returns again with amazing rides, a Horror Maze and a host of frightening figures lurking in the depths ready to give guests the thrill of their lives - if you dare!

Twinlakes will offer a whole host of spooky and scary attractions for Halloween 2014 with the Family Scream Park for tricksters and the Xtreme Scream Park too.

Visit Santa's Christmas Wonderland this festive season and step into a magical world of fun and song. Adorable animated characters greet you at your every turn as you make your way through the enchanted snow scene.

At the end of the journey children meet Santa Claus and receive an exciting present. Plus experience Peppa Pig World at Christmas with twinkling illuminations, Christmas trees and more!

For the very first time Santa has taken a break from his busy schedule to join Winter at Flamingo Land in 2014. There’ll be a free festive twelve days of Christmas Zoo Trail too, plus delicious seasonal treats and much more!

Flamingo Land’s zoo will be fully open from 10am to 4pm each day, allowing you to enjoy over 140 species of reptiles, mammals and birds.

With so much to do before Christmas Day, Santa has decided to enjoy a well-earned rest in the Mansion House & Tea Room’s majestic private lounge. Younger guests will receive an exclusive opportunity to visit Santa for FREE* with any purchase from the Mansion House children’s menu. And what’s more, they’ll receive a complimentary Christmas gift too, making your visit a truly special day!
