Drayton Manor Theme Park is a great day out for the whole family. No matter what age your family members are they’re certain to find lots to entertain them, from the exciting thrill rides right down to gentler activities for toddlers you can keep everyone happy.
In association with Thomas Land we have a special Drayton Manor Special Offer specifically to cater for families who need a place to stay while visiting the theme park. Our packages include overnight accommodation in our spacious guestrooms, tickets to the attraction and Full English breakfast to start the day the right way (with plenty of healthy options also available) for the whole family.
Want to know how to get to Drayton Manor? It’s very simple to get there from the hotel and just over 10 minutes drive from the hotel. A short 15 minute journey down the M42 from Junction 11 to Junction 9 so you can arrive early and get the most of your fantastic day out. You can see for yourself on our new Tamworth map.
Younger kids will love Thomas Land where they can meet all their Sodor friends but watch out for the Troublesome Trucks!
Apocalypse is the worlds first stand-up tower drop and heads the impressive lineup of thrill rides at Drayton Manor. If you can handle more try the G-Force roller-coaster where you hang from the hip or experience an awesome 4G on Shockwave. Even the most ardent rider will need a break and the family can enjoy medieval Excalibur – A Dragon’s Tale or spin together on Drunken Barrels.
Set in 15 acres of open parkland is the zoo. Home to primates, big cats, penguins, reptiles and owls. The Discovery Centre is a great way for kids to learn more about the animals and the conservation work the zoo supports or even become a keeper for a day!
There are lots of lunch options in the park but I always recommend the Buccaneer Food Court & Takeaway in Pirate Cove. Being not in the centre of the park means its a little quieter so usually have no trouble finding a table so can relax and enjoy lunch. With some outside seating it’s an ideal spot to enjoy an ice-cream while waiting for the others to catch you up!
Our hotel is situated in the heart of Britain with so much happening around us we wanted to keep you up to date with our brand new Tamworth hotels blog.
There are lots of fantastic family attractions nearby. My personal favourite is the theme park at Drayton Manor & Thomas Land with thrill rides (feeling the 4G drop on Apocalypse is incredible), the magic of Sodor (watching out for the troublesome trucks), a brilliant zoo and even 4D cinema. The award winning Conkers in the National Forest has mix of indoor and outdoor experiences. The National Space Centre has hands on exhibits. All are only a short drive from the hotel.
There are a whole host of festivals and events are held throughout the year and we’ll be letting you know whats on in Tamworth.
With an excellent choice of local restaurants you’ll be spoilt for choice. Whether its a quick bite to eat or gourment dinner, our Tamworth restaurants guide will let you in on some of our local secrets.
We’re lucky to have excellent micro and real ale breweries nearby – and the best traditional pubs to taste them in! If you’re looking for a family friendly venues with great food, a quiet retreat in the countryside or something livelier our Tamworth pubs guide will tell you everything you need to know.
Live bands play frequently in some of the local bars and pubs and great gigs are hosted in the towns clubs. You can catch marvellous concerts and performances at the Tamworth Assembly Rooms, one . So you don’t miss a beat we’ll be posting Tamworth music listings.
Ski on real snow in summer? You can at the Tamworth Snow Dome! Get in some off season practice, learn before you hit the slopes for the first time or for a fabulous day out. Equipment hire and lessons for all skill levels are available. The Snow Dome is open year round and just over 16km from the hotel.
To help you find your way around all the local intrest points and attractions use our Tamworth map, specifically created with our guests in mind.
We look forward to keeping you up to date with all the latest news of whats on in the area, our recommendations and inside hints to help you make the most of your visit and hope to welcome you to the Ramada Tamworth very soon.
With all the disruption caused by volcanic ash we understand how difficult making travel arrangements can be at the moment: you can’t be sure you’ll be able to get to your destination and once there will you get back?
We want to assure you that if you have reservations with us you aren’t able to make we will act fairly and cancel without penalty (as long as you contact us as soon as possible). We hope you will be able to stay at the Ramada Tamworth at a later date so, whenever possible, we will reschedule your booking on the same (or very similar terms). If you have booked one of our Advance Purchase rates and are unsure of your future travel plans we will honour refund requests in full.
If you are affected whilst staying with us we will adhere to all contracted rates when extending reservations. During this time we will continue to offer key services such as laundry, Internet access or even obtaining emergency repeat prescriptions.
We will work with the local tourism authorities to provide assistance arranging your return journey and provide access to regularly updated information for the duration of the disruption.
Whilst we very much hope you won’t be affected, we hope publishing our Volcanic Ash Charter (PDF) reassures you by booking the Ramada Tamworth we will be there to take care of you should your plans be disrupted.
Our charter applies to all reservations at the Ramada Tamworth. For guaranteed best rates and Tamworth hotel specials book direct with us.

There are many more for us to try and if you would like to share your recommendations we’ll add them to our Tamworth pubs guide - after thorough testing of course
