  1. Looks like Dreamland has been changed to a music venue without planning consent, or did that come with the sale as well?
    There are hardly any rides there now and the best one is closed. What a dump Dreamland has become this year.

    • Another happy customer who seemingly would prefer everything just to be shut!
      Amazingly.. events like this generate revenue! Which means.. things can be open!!
      Wow!

    • It was always planned for music events to be an important part of what Dreamland offered. But the changes to capacity limits and performance times for the indoor areas made many events unviable ( By The Sea probably being the most notable event that pulled out)
      If all the events listed in the article are to be outdoor events there’s likely to be a few noise complaints, with so many events in relatively short period. Depending on which way the wind blows the sound is really quite intrusive , especially on warmer nights when windows are open.
