Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells will reopen on Saturday 21st March, kicking off the 2026 season with a packed programme of new events, live entertainment and spectacular fireworks, as the popular Skegness-area resort celebrates 10 years under Mellors Group ownership.
Fantasy Island’s season is about to begin, and everyone is invited to join the fun. The resort is starting the new season with two exciting weekends full of rides, live shows and memory-making moments for the whole family.
Opening weekend takes place on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd March. Visitors can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere as the park comes back to life, with a fresh new look and even more to offer.
Guests can expect a full day of rides and family fun, including FREE family entertainment on the Pyramid Stage, shopping at Fantasy Island Market, and a delicious family meal at The Olive Tree. Over at Captain Jack’s Showbar, the celebrations continue into the evening with live entertainment from Sophie Littlewood on Saturday night.
The celebrations continue on Saturday 28th March with a huge Opening Party. The night will be headlined by Lewish Capaldi, alongside games, dazzling performers and family-friendly entertainment. It’s all about having fun together and making special memories – and best of all, it’s free to enter.
Visitors wanting to experience the rides can book wristbands online to save more, unlocking access to over 35 rides and attractions. There is something for everyone, from tiny adventures to big thrills. Whether it’s your child’s first big ride or a family day out by the seaside, there is fun waiting around every corner.
Fantasy Island has also maintained its commitment to delivering affordable days out for families, with free wristbands for children under 0.9m and additional discounts available, including 25% for Blue Light Card holders (+10% off at all Fantasy Island food and drink venues), as well as 50% off for carers. Full details can be found online at fantasyisland.co.uk.
This year is particularly special as it marks 10 years since Mellors Group took over Fantasy Island. Over the last decade the park has grown bigger and better, with more events, more entertainment and even more fireworks lighting up the sky. Plans for 2026 show that the resort is only just getting started.
Paige Harris-Scott, Strategic Brand & Partnership Manager for Fantasy Island said:
“2026 marks a major milestone for us as we celebrate ten years as part of Mellors Group. We’re incredibly proud of how Fantasy Island has evolved during that time, and we’re excited to welcome families for what promises to be our biggest and best season yet. With outstanding live entertainment, exciting new offers and a packed programme of events, 2026 is set to be our most spectacular year to date.”
As well as two huge opening weekends, the resort’s Easter Extravaganza is just around the corner, where little ones can meet the Easter Bunny, take part in an Easter egg hunt, watch a free Easter fireworks display, and stay for the Easter Party at Captain Jack’s Showbar.
The 2026 Fantasy Island season officially begins on Saturday 21st March, with rides, entertainment and attractions open across the resort. Visitors are encouraged to book wristbands online in advance to save.
