FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY!

Rain or shine, there’s so much fun to be had at Wicksteed Park in Northamptonshire!

One of the best things about Wicksteed Park is there’s a variety of activities available, for children of all ages. 

Park founder Charles Wicksteed was the inventor of outdoor play equipment like the swing and slide. As an engineer and innovator, Charles also designed the world’s oldest water chute, which is still enjoyed in the park today.

As well as our rides and attractions why not grab a bite to eat at one of our food outlets.

The Garden Café in the heart of the park, overlooking our Garden Wheel ride, this is the perfect location to grab a hot drink, light bite, sandwich, or pastry.

The Peacock Café which offers hot and cold drinks, treats and ice lollies too! Peacock cafe is situated near the beautiful lake, a great spot to kick back and relax and watch the wildlife go about their day.

Dare Devil Diner for those with a hunger for adventure and a taste for thrills, located just opposite the Thrill Zone.

Ice-cream Parlour to treat yourself to a sweet treat, there’s a whole assortment of flavours to choose from. Choose from a cone or cup and get ready for deliciousness.

At Carlo’s Pizza, you can discover a taste sensation with their menu of Italian dishes. From the classic Margherita pizza to hearty meaty options, each bite is a flavourful journey.

Wicksteed Park is wholly owned by Wicksteed Charitable Trust. The park was founded in 1921, as part of the legacy of Charles Wicksteed.
