Knights Leisure has confirmed the Camelot Theme Park near Chorley in the north-west of England, will not re-open for the 2013 season.
Managing director Roy Page said it was “with reluctance” that the company has taken the “very difficult” decision to close following a number of years of declining visitor numbers.
The 2012 season “proved particularly challenging,” he said.
“While we have become used to inclement summer weather in the UK during the past few years, a combination of the wettest summer for 100 years, the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations followed by the spectacular television coverage of the Olympic Games during our busiest months of the summer and the school holidays had a major impact on visitors to Camelot.
“I would like to thank our many loyal visitors for their continued support over the past 29 wonderful years.”
