NEW for Summer 2026 – Overplay Opens 16 July
The biggest new addition this summer is the opening of Overplay, a brand-new outdoor family attraction located next to Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach.
Opening from 16 July, Overplay offers an exciting all-weather adventure packed with activities including:
- Giant inflatable obstacle courses
- Climbing challenges
- Huge slides
- Interactive play areas
- Family-friendly adventure zones
Because it’s indoors, Overplay provides the perfect option if the British summer weather doesn’t quite go to plan.
Visitors can easily combine a trip to Overplay with a day enjoying the rides and attractions at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach for an even bigger family adventure.
