Post-COVID, the UK has seen a rise in demand for 'away from home' entertainment venues. This includes attractions such as adult adventure parks, amusement parks, and amusement arcades - places that offer 'experiences' different from the norm.  

Felixstowe is a fun seaside town located in Suffolk, on the east coast of England. It has convenient rail links from Ipswich on the Greater Anglia service, which is part of the direct line to London Liverpool Street. There are also lots of dedicated and street parking options for visitors. 

The amusement arcade industry, once in steady decline, has seen a strong post-COVID resurgence driven by renewed demand for out-of-home entertainment. Coupled with recent advances in technology and manufacturing, this shift has revitalised the sector and helped propel arcades back into mainstream appeal worldwide.

Blackpool needs no introduction as the UK’s largest seaside entertainment resort. Its wide, flat shoreline has hosted family holidays for generations, evolving from traveller sideshows, palm reading and donkey rides into a destination of major casinos and large-scale entertainment complexes.

Hemsby is a hidden gem of a seaside resort located just eight miles north of Great Yarmouth seafront. It offers classic funfair rides, traditional seaside attractions, and some of the best amusement arcades on the east coast, making it a worthwhile stop when exploring East Anglia.

Clacton offers a strong mix of amusements clustered around the beach and pier, which form the heart of the town’s tourist area. Everything along the seafront is within easy walking distance, and with plenty of parking available, it’s a convenient, low-stress seaside resort with a good variety of attractions.
