M&D's theme park to reopen after being bought out of administration

Bosses at M&D's Theme Park have confirmed that the park it is to reopen once lockdown restrictions have been lifted after it was bought out of administration.

In April Scotland’s Theme Park, which borders Strathclyde Park in Motherwell, laid off 165 staff, blaming “a challenging few years” and coronavirus for the collapse.

In an email sent out to staff, M&D's bosses said they had been 'suffering financial issues for some time' which were 'further exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic'.

However M&D's have today confirmed that they are no longer in administration and have a new management in place - and are working hard behind the scenes to be able to reopen the park s as well as Devil’s Island Adventure Golf and Amazonia.

A Facebook post from M&D's reads: "To all of our loyal and valued customers. We are delighted to announce that Scotland’s Theme Park has been bought out of administration and has new management in place.

"In line with Scottish Government guidelines, we are working hard behind the scenes to be able to reopen Scotland’s Theme Park as well as Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, and Amazonia when restrictions have been lifted.

"We are working within the physical distancing guidelines as outlined by the Scottish Government, as well as introducing additional hand sanitising stations located throughout the park and Amazonia and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

"There will be some modifications when you come back to visit us and we’d ask that you bear with us during this period of change and adjustment to allow us to give you the fantastic day out you would usually experience at Scotland’s Theme Park."
