Fun park joins town gift card scheme
SOUTHPORT Pleasureland is the latest business to sign up to the new Southport Gift Card scheme.
The park, based on Marine Drive in Southport, is busy preparing for its forthcoming Winter Season, which will include a new Winter Wonderland North and a Christmas lights switch on.
They are also looking forward to their 2021 season with some exciting new surprises for customers.
Southport Gift Card has been launched by Southport BID and is accepted at over 70 local shops, restaurants, attractions, hotels, beauty salons and other local businesses.
Southport Gift Card can now be used online to purchase wristbands for Southport Pleasureland.
At this time Southport Pleasurerland cannot accept the gift card for ancillary purchases inside the park, although this may soon change.
Last month the park closed its 2020 summer season early due to rising COVID-19 cases in the area but is hopeful that, if cases fall, then it may soon be able to open for its first ever Winter Season with some exciting things planned.
Southport Pleasureland CEO Norman Wallis said: “We are really very happy to support Southport BID with this project.
“The new Southport Gift Card is a great way of supporting local businesses here in Southport and it makes the perfect present to give someone close to you.”
Looking forward to the new winter season, he said: “We all have a duty to put safety first. Our business is all about providing an environment where families can come and have fun and the measures we have put in place here over summer have worked really well.
“We are now concentrating on delivering a series of special occasions that will provide spectacular but safe family entertainment in the run-up to
Christmas.” The park plans to run its best yet ‘Day of the Dead’ on November 14 and two weeks later will host its own Christmas lights switch on, with trees and buildings dazzlingly illuminated as Pleasureland prepares to unveil its Winter Wonderland North.
The big switch on will herald a Christmas countdown for the north with the attraction open every weekend in December (excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day), and featuring a Germanstyle Christmas market, reindeer, and indoor winter train ride and Father Christmas in his very own grotto.
And with long-range weather forecasters predicting a cold snap for December, the glitter and goodwill is likely to go a long way towards adding some Christmas cheer to 2020.
