A new children’s menu will also be introduced to take advantage of the reduced VAT rate, helping families make the most of their visit.

Peter Grant, Owner and Chief Fun Officer at Stockeld Park, said: “This summer is all about bringing families together for a full day of fun, entertainment and adventure.

"From live performances and festival vibes to outdoor play and new activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

"We’re also pleased to be able to support families further this year by passing on the benefits of the VAT reduction and extending that value right through to the end of the holidays.”
