Get ready for some serious theme park excitement — because the Merlin Entertainments Black Friday Magic Sale is about to launch, and it’s offering families the ultimate gift this Christmas: a whole year of unforgettable adventures for as little as £79 per person.
Running from Tuesday 18th November until Sunday 21st December, this limited-time sale is your chance to unlock a year of access to over 20 top UK attractions, including Alton Towers Resort, Chessington World of Adventures, Thorpe Park, LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort, Warwick Castle, and many more. Whether you’re chasing thrills, family fun, or fascinating history, the Merlin Annual Pass opens the door to endless adventures — all for less than the cost of a weekly coffee habit.
This year’s Black Friday Magic Sale sees incredible savings across the entire Merlin Annual Pass range. The Essential Pass has dropped from £139 to just £79, which works out at only £1.52 per week. The Gold Pass has been reduced from £239 to £199 for the year, while the Gold Monthly Membership now costs just £16.99 per month instead of £19.99, with no joining fee. To make things even easier, you can now spread the cost with Klarna, making those Essential Passes even more affordable and flexible than ever.
There’s never been a better time to become a passholder. Thrill seekers can take on Hyperia, the UK’s tallest and fastest rollercoaster at Thorpe Park, or race through the brand-new Minifigure Speedway at LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort. Families can get ready for two brand-new experiences launching in 2026 — the UK’s first and only PAW Patrol-themed land at Chessington World of Adventures, and the world’s first Bluey ride at CBeebies Land in Alton Towers Resort. From record-breaking coasters to playful new worlds, there’s something for every age and every kind of adventurer.
But the fun doesn’t stop at the rides. History lovers can dive into a thousand years of stories at Warwick Castle, while pop culture fans can meet their idols at Madame Tussauds. With over 20 attractions included, every weekend can bring something completely new — and with these prices, it’s easier than ever to make the most of it.
For those who love a few extra perks, the Gold Merlin Annual Pass unlocks even more magic. Gold members enjoy free parking at all Merlin resorts, up to 20% off food, drink, and retail, and up to 20% off short breaks through the Merlin Holiday Club. You’ll also get discounted entry for family and friends, making it simple to share the fun. And for the ultimate experience, Platinum Passholders receive free Fastrack at resort theme parks, extra tickets for friends, and no restricted days all year round — the ultimate way to experience the magic without limits.
With festive cheer in the air and Christmas just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be better. A Merlin Annual Pass makes the perfect gift — something that lasts all year long, filled with laughter, adventure, and memories that will be talked about for years to come. Whether it’s a spontaneous day at Alton Towers, a sunny summer trip to LEGOLAND, or a spooky autumn visit for Scarefest, there’s always something to look forward to.
The Merlin Black Friday Magic Sale runs from November 18th to December 21st, but once it’s over, so are the savings. Don’t miss out — grab your pass while the prices are at their lowest and make 2026 your most thrilling year yet.
