Alton Towers has just officially announced on their website and Facebook page that the theme park will open on Monday 12th April which is the first possible date theme parks are allowed to open based on the government COVID “roadmap” which was announced by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in his address on Monday.
In the current government guidelines, hotels and B&Bs are not allowed to open until 17th May which means that the Alton Towers Hotel and Splash Landings Hotel will remain closed.
Alton Towers have announced on their official website page that the Woodland Lodges will be open from 12th April:
“At present, we plan for our Woodland Lodges to be open from April 12th. They offer self-contained accommodation with the necessary amenities required to open as part of ‘Step 2’ set out in the latest Government guidance. Please note that each Lodge can only be used by members of the same household and no shared facilities (restaurants, bars, indoor areas) will be open.”
