Good morning ☺️ the weather is looking difficult to predict today but there is a chance of on and off showers during our operating time this afternoon - so we have decided not to open today

We’ve had a fantastic half term and just wanted to thank all of you for including us in your visit to Matlock 🥰

We’ve had lots of laughs and chat and even had two separate people bring us ice cream on the days when the heat was getting overwhelming ! So thank you 🤩

Hopefully we will see you next weekend

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Good morning 😊

Am I seeing right?

Looks like we are in for a rather fabulous few days 💪

We will be open from 10.30-4.30pm from Saturday and every day right through the half term provided the pesky rain leaves us alone 🤞

£6.50 for a boat for 3 people
£1.50 for the train 🚂

The splash pad will be open, plenty of places to eat or bring a picnic.

Hope you can include Matlock in you’re plans and pay us a visit, looking forward to some sunny days down here to welcome visitors old and new 🥰

Sorry folks, with the potential of on and off rain all day we will remain closed today… thanks to those that kept us busy yesterday 😊 Tomorrow is looking dry so hopefully we will be open for the bank holiday Monday 🤞

03/04/2026

Sorry folks, weather looking very temperamental today so we will be back open tomorrow when it’s passed

27/03/2026

Looking at the weather forecast for the weekend with potential of very cold temperatures and rain, we have decided to reopen for our 2026 season on Monday 👍💪😩

Good afternoon on this beautiful sunny day! ☀️
We are working hard to get the boats and our lovely Little David ready for Easter and the start of our new season. We are looking forward to some good weather and great company in the park 🥰
We hate having to do it but this year we will have to increase our pricing.

We’ve put it off as long as we can as it’s important to us to stay as cheap as possible and we hope the slight increase of 50p is still seen as good value 🤞

Please continue to support local businesses🥰

See you very soon 🔜

The Boats and Train team would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas 🥰
Thank you for supporting us for another year and we look forward to doing it all again in 2026

That’s a wrap folks 🥰 Our 2025 season is officially over 😔

Always a big sigh for us as we reluctantly set about closing and embarking on the winter maintenance.. summer seems to have flown !

As always we would like to thank you
for including us in your day this summer, it’s been super busy and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it ❤️

Thank you Matlock, the lovely locals and visitors 🥰
