Fantasy Island is marking 10 years under Mellors Group with the start of a new chapter for the 2026 season.
Since taking over in 2016, Mellors Group has continued to invest in Fantasy Island, helping it grow year after year. During that time, the park has welcomed new rides, fully refurbished bars, brand-new venues, bigger events and more entertainment – making it an even better day out for families, thrill-seekers and returning visitors.
The 2026 season represents the next phase of that journey. Rather than a full overhaul, this is a brand refresh that marks where Fantasy Island is heading next. Guests will begin to see small but meaningful changes across the park, showing how the resort continues to evolve.
From Saturday 21st March, visitors will start to notice refreshed signage, updated colours and a brighter, more modern look being introduced across selected areas of the park. While these changes roll out, Fantasy Island remains the same place people know and love – focused on thrills, family fun and creating great memories for everyone who visits.
This refresh forms part of Mellors Group’s long-term investment in Fantasy Island, ensuring the park continues to improve over time while staying true to its roots and its loyal fans.
Speaking about the refresh, Paige Harris-Scott, Strategic Brand and Partnerships Manager, said:
“This isn’t about changing Fantasy Island – it’s about showing how far we’ve come. Over the last 10 years, Mellors Group has invested heavily in the park, improving what we offer and the experience for our guests.
The 2026 refresh marks the start of the next phase. It reflects our ambition and our commitment to keep moving forward, while still delivering the fun and excitement people come here for.”
Alongside the refreshed look, guests can look forward to a big 2026 season, with new events, new shows and brand-new entertainment being announced in the coming weeks. Fantasy Island will also continue to offer online savings, helping to keep days out affordable for families.
As always, Fantasy Island is free to enter, so guests can enjoy all entertainment at no cost – you only pay if you choose to go on the rides.
The park reopens on Saturday 21st March, with the first major event taking place over Easter weekend (4th–6th April). Easter celebrations will include visits from the Easter Bunny and a full programme of FREE entertainment, including the brand-new Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime, an Easter Party Night at Captain Jack’s and a free fireworks display at Island Beach, right in the heart of the park.
After 10 years of growth and great memories, Fantasy Island is just getting started.
