GVA completes theme park acquisition with York-based attractions operator

Continuum Attractions, the York-based operator of visitor attraction experiences, has acquired GreenWood Forest Park in Y Felinheli, North Wales.

GVA, the UK real estate adviser, has marketing the family adventure park business on behalf of Andrea and Steve Bristow.

This follows a previous recent sale by GVA of North Yorkshire visitor attraction Lightwater Valley for Jersey-based Ball Investments to attractions operator, Livingstone Leisure.

Juliana Delaney, chief executive of Continuum Attractions, said: “GreenWood Forest Park is a wonderful addition to Continuum’s growing UK-wide portfolio.

“We are extremely grateful to GVA for making Continuum aware of this opportunity and for ensuring the sale process ran smoothly.”

Richard Baldwin, director at GVA, added: “Lightwater Valley and GreenWood Forest Park are two high quality assets.

“These significant transactions over the summer period continue to showcase the rude health of the alternative leisure markets and their potential as positive investment opportunities.”

GreenWood Forest Park is a TripAdvisor UK Top 10 Attraction and a North Wales Tourist Board Green and Innovation Award-winner.

Other attractions in Continuum Attractions’ portfolio include York’s Chocolate Story, the Emmerdale Studio Tour and Village Tour in Leeds, The Canterbury Tales in Canterbury and Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
