About Drayton Manor

Drayton Manor Theme Park is one of the UK’s most popular family attractions with over one million visitors a year, and is home to some of the biggest, wettest and scariest rides around. It is home to Thomas Land with 20 rides and attractions from the HIT television series Thomas and Friends ™ for the young and young at heart, and the park features over 100 rides and attractions for the whole family. Drayton Manor was first opened to the public by the current owners, the Bryan family, in 1950 after husband and wife co-founders, George, OBE, and Vera Bryan, converted 80 acres of derelict land, which once belonged to the former British Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel and his family, into a wonderful family attraction. Today, set in approximately 280 acres of beautiful woodland and countryside, the family owned and run Drayton Manor Theme Park also offers a 15 acre Zoo, an abundance of shops and restaurants, including our newest addition, The Grill Inn. The recently opened 4 star Drayton Manor Hotel has 150 bedrooms, 15 of which are Thomas and Friends™ themed family rooms.
