Wicksteed Park

Wicksteed Park is a grade II English Heritage listed park and garden, and is wholly owned by Wicksteed Charitable Trust.

The park was founded in 1921, as part of the extraordinary legend of Charles Wicksteed, which extends beyond the recreation park he created. The park is much more than an amusement park and attracts 1,000s of visitors each year to play, take part in events and explore its beautiful grounds.
