Looking for a summer theme park event with a difference? Drayton Manor is turning up the volume this July with Rock ’n’ Rumble, a brand-new entertainment event combining live wrestling, country music and family-friendly shows alongside the park’s full line-up of rides and attractions.
What Is Rock ’n’ Rumble?
Rock ’n’ Rumble is a special summer event taking place at Drayton Manor Resort on 4th, 5th, 11th and 12th July 2026. Guests can enjoy a full day of theme park rides while also experiencing live entertainment across the resort.
The event blends Wild West-inspired fun with high-energy performances, creating a unique atmosphere that goes beyond a typical day at the park. According to Drayton Manor, visitors can expect “high-energy entertainment, big characters and country-style fun” throughout the weekend dates.
All American Wrestling Takes Centre Stage
One of the headline attractions at Rock ’n’ Rumble is All American Wrestling. Throughout the day, guests will be able to watch live wrestling matches featuring larger-than-life characters, dramatic entrances and crowd-pleasing action.
Whether you’re a long-time wrestling fan or introducing younger family members to the spectacle for the first time, the performances promise plenty of excitement and audience interaction. The live shows are designed to be family-friendly while still delivering the thrills and drama wrestling fans love.
Sing Along to a Shania Twain Tribute Show
Country music fans are also in for a treat. Rock ’n’ Rumble will feature a live Shania Twain tribute act, performing some of the Canadian superstar’s biggest hits. From classic country favourites to crossover pop anthems, the show aims to bring a festival-style atmosphere to the theme park.
Expect plenty of opportunities to sing along as familiar tracks provide the soundtrack to a summer day out at Drayton Manor.
Additional Family Entertainment
The event isn’t limited to wrestling and country music. Guests can also enjoy a variety of family entertainment throughout the park, including:
- Thomas Land Balcony Shows
- Rory & Lory live performances
- Music and dance entertainment
- Character appearances and family activities
- Additional pop-up entertainment across the resort
Show times and locations will be displayed on screens around the park during the event weekends.
Enjoy All the Rides Too

Popular areas include:
- Thomas Land
