Dreamland, Margate

Last week I finally got to visit Dreamland in Margate. After seeing all over Instagram last summer when it opened it again after TWELVE years, it's fair to say it's been on my 'to visit' list for a little while. So I was thrilled to find out that my work away day was going to be there, to make the day even better we were going on the hottest day of the year so far. It was the perfect opportunity to escape the humid city and hop on a train to Margate. We visited Dreamland on the first day of the year so sadly a few of the attractions weren't open yet, including the big wheel. However it was everything you would hope it to be and more, filled with retro rides, a cute little ice-cream van, pastel colours everywhere and vintage arcade games (there was even a Rolling Stones one!) You can find Dreamland located just a 10 minute walk from the station and practically a hop skip and a jump away from the beach! The amusement park is described on their website as 'More than just brilliant retro rides and amusements. Dreamland is a world where vintage cool holds hands with modern design, and goes for a lovely beach side stroll.' This summer they're introducing music again to the park including a night with Blur's Dave Rowntree! A true 90's dream!
