The opening of Margate's Dreamland has been pushed back four weeks until Friday, May 26, following further expansion of its 2017 plan.

A further investment of £10 million from Arrowgrass Capital Partners has meant the park can bring forward planned enhancements, taking the total invested by Arrowgrass to £25 million.

The park will now feature Wi-Fi across the park, a treetop bar, a 15 metre festival-style bar and an expanded street food dining upon its reopening.

The new attractions come in addition to the newly restored vintage rides, event spaces and interactive art installations that were announced in February.

The investment from Arrowgrass is part of its support to the management team's plan to create the ultimate re-imagined day out at the seaside for all, whether you're a family, couple or day-tripper.

Steven Mitchell, interim CEO at Dreamland Margate, said: “Our plan is to operate a fantastic vintage park that showcases the Scenic Railway and our many other rides alongside destination dining and unique event spaces.

"We are accelerating some elements of our longer-term plan in order to deliver the best possible experience to our customers in 2017 and to avoid potential future disruption by doing the work in one go.

"To complete the additional improvements, and ensure the fantastic day or night out for customers from the get-go, we have decided to change the opening date for the amusement park by a few weeks to Friday 26 May and we are excited about what we will offer for the Spring Bank Holiday and the school half-term.

"Our outdoor events site will then open, as planned, on 10th June to coincide with the Gorillaz-headlined Demon Dayz festival. Following this, it will be converted into parkland and will re-open in time for the Summer holidays.”.

This announcement comes shortly after it was announced Noel Gallagher would be joining Gorillaz at the sold-out Demon Dayz festival.

Dreamland's 2017 plans include specific facilities for artist-led events such as green rooms and catering.
