Brighton Pier Group has placed Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park on the market for an asking price of £3m, just four years after purchasing the Ripon attraction for a total consideration of £5m.

The 185 acre estate is currently being marketed by Newmark, with details stating the park attracts more than 230,000 visitors a year and generates approximately £5m in turnover every year.

”An opportunity to take ownership of, and develop a long-established theme park business in the heart of Yorkshire with planning for a significant scheme of complementary holiday accommodation,” states the listing.

“Established in 1969, the park has been sympathetically developed and managed, latterly under the ownership of Brighton Pier Group Plc, as a major attractor in the region and is now available for sale through a company share sale.”

“Lightwater Valley offers a full day out for the family, with the park presenting an array of themed areas and attractions throughout an expansive parkland setting, at the heart of which is a large lake surrounded by mature woodland.”

The sale includes all rides and cafes on the site, with planning permission in place to add glamping and holiday lodge facilities.

BPG bought Lightwater Valley in 2021 for £4m, with additional payments up to £1m for the entire share
allocation.
