Dreamland was one of several locations visited by the House of Lords Select Committee on Regenerating Seaside Towns for their report on The Future of Seaside Towns, released on Thursday 4th April.


Margate was held up as a positive example of


coastal regeneration, with Dreamland singled out as one of the most notable examples of success.


CEO Eddie Kemsley welcomed the findings of the report: “Margate remains a benchmark for other seaside towns in terms of what collaborative, arts and leisure-led regeneration can achieve, and we are extremely proud to be part of the story.We welcome this report and the

This is the goal for Dreamland, as we work towards a full 12month offer with numerous events planned throughout the year plus our award-winning Halloween event, Screamland, and a brand new Christmas event planned for 2019.


“We’ve also just hired 200 seasonal staff to support our summer season and with our increased events offer , we hope to keep providing more job opportunities
