Dreamland has been named as one the top 10 favourite seaside attractions in the UK
The Seaside Heritage Network announced its inaugural Bucket and Spade List of the top seaside places and experiences as voted for by members of the public.
Dreamland came in at number 8 when the winners were announced on September 11 at Blackpool Winter Gardens.
The top three finalists were awarded with certificates by designer and seaside regeneration expert, Wayne Hemingway MBE.
HemingwayDesign were appointed by The Dreamland Trust in 2011 to develop create a brand for a re-imagined Dreamland.
Nine years on, in 2020, HemingwayDesign also created the special 100th anniversary logo for the park. The retro style artwork translated numerals into multicoloured blocks.
Eddie Kemsley, CEO Dreamland Margate, said: “The entire team at Dreamland is thrilled to be recognised at the inaugural Bucket & Spade Awards. Dreamland is an intrinsic part of Margate’s history, and our seaside heritage remains interwoven with the town, even 103 years on from our beginnings.
“The future is looking bright for Dreamland, expanding on our rich legacy of entertainment and amusement by the sea.”
