Pirate rides to treasure at Southport Pleasureland



Take the whole family on a pirate adventure with rides, slides and more

Ghostly Galleon

All aboard the Ghostly Galleon – the classic amusement park pirate ship ride that's a thrill for all the family. Feel the wind in your air as the ship sways from side to side – and don't forget to wave to the folks below!

Blackbeard's Falls

Ahoy, me hearties! It's time to make a splash with our exciting log flume. After all, it wouldn't be a pirate adventure if you didn't get drenched.

Flying Dumbos

Take to the skies on a magical flying elephant ride! You'd be a dumbo to miss out.


Minimum rider height: 1.2 metres unless accompanied

Slides galore

Take the plunge in one of our slides. Choose between Snake Slide, Double-Headed Snake Slide and Wave Slide – or why not try all three?


Minimum rider height: 1.2 metres (90cm if accompanied)

Dock Fun House

Explore the corridors, walkways and ball pools of Dock Fun House.

Smuggler's Track

Little pirates will love this scenic, swashbuckling rail ride. How many secrets can you spot?

The Trampolines

Up for a bounce? See how high you can go on our fun, kid-friendly trampolines.

Height Restrictions

Please note ride height restrictions apply. Guests must be able to hold on and hold themselves upright on rides and so in circumstances where guests meet height restrictions but are not able to do so they will be refused entry to rides for reasons of Health & Safety. The Ride Operator’s instructions must be adhered to at all times.

Food and drink



Enjoy a pirate feast – or bring your own refreshments

A captain's feast!

Every salty sea-dog needs a spot of lunch – so if you've worked up an appetite on the rides, make sure to swing by Captain Jack's Bistro.


Stop your tummy rumbling with hot dogs, gourmet burgers, chips and hot and cold drinks. We even have our very own slush machine.


On a budget and want to bring your own packed lunch? No problem.


At Southport Pleasureland, you're spoilt for choice. As well as bursting with food outlets, there are also plenty of themed picnic areas.

Your questions answered

  • Can I bring my dog?

    Woof! Sorry, we mean: yes, absolutely! Our only ask is that you keep your pooches on leads and make sure to clean up any mess.

  • What if it rains?

    We can't control the weather – but we do have a rain check policy in place in case it really tips it down. Find out more here.

  • Can I bring my own food?

    Absolutely. Our themed picnic areas can be used either for food and drink from our range of outlets or for your packed lunches – it's entirely up to you.

  • What does my ticket include?

    A day-ticket to Pleasureland is, if we say so ourselves, an absolute bargain. You get unlimited access to all four themed lands and over 30 fun, family-friendly rides.


    However, some things have to be paid for separately – carnival games, for instance, and food and drink. Make sure to include those in your budget if you're likely to use them. And please remember to bring a card as we can't accept cash.

  • Where are you located?

    You can find us at Southport Pleasureland, Marine Drive, Southport, PR8 1RX. We look forward to meeting you!
