Staff at Clacton Pier are gearing up for the first big event of the year and the reopening of the attraction’s ride deck.
February Frenzy takes place over nine days of half term with a special half price offer to kick off all the fun.
It will be staged from Saturday February 14 through to Sunday February 22 and will be the first time the outside ride deck will have been open since mid-November.
Rides have gone through their annual inspections, maintenance, and repairs ready for the event.
A Big Day Out Band has been reduced to £15 and rides will also be half price on a Funcard for those who prefer to pay per ride.
General manager Harry Peek said the whole team is looking forward to the ride deck reopening and hoping for decent weather.
“You never know what you are going to get in the middle of February but we are able to deal with whatever it throws at us,” he added.
“We have a good mixture of indoor and outdoor fun and activities for all ages to enjoy.
“We fully understand that this is the first school holiday since Christmas and budgets will be tight which is why we have reduced prices by 50 per cent.”
The band includes unlimited rides (excluding the Go-Karts), 18-holes of adventure golf, entry to Jurassic Pier 4D, one go on the Wheel, five video game credits and 50 arcade prize tickets.
It is also possible to upgrade the band to an annual pass for a further £40, making it the best price currently available.
Families are advised to book online in advance as there is a limited capacity each day. It is also possible to later change the day you visit during half term if necessary.
“This is the first of our 12 events lined-up for 2026 which will cater for all the family and there is something to suit all tastes,” said Mr Peek.
“We hope that February Frenzy will get our extensive and exciting programme off to a great start with plenty more to come throughout the year.”
