Oakwood Theme Park, one of Wales’ most popular amusement parks, has announced its immediate closure for the 2025 season. The sudden decision has left visitors and staff members shocked, with many seeking answers about the park’s future.
Official Statement
A spokesperson for Oakwood Theme Park confirmed the closure in a statement today:
“It is with great regret that we must announce the immediate closure of Oakwood Theme Park for the 2025 season. This decision has not been made lightly, and we sincerely apologise to all those who were looking forward to visiting us this year.”
Reasons Behind the Closure
While the park has not specified a single reason for the shutdown, industry sources suggest financial difficulties and declining visitor numbers may have played a role. Recent reports indicate that rising operational costs and the need for major renovations have placed significant strain on the park’s resources.

The closure will have an immediate impact on seasonal workers, with many employees now facing job uncertainty. Oakwood management has assured staff that they will be offered support and guidance during this transition period.
