Flamingo Land set to make a splash at Magic Weekend

Flamingo Land, Yorkshire’s award-winning theme park, zoo and holiday destination, will be an official partner of this week’s Super League’s Magic Weekend at Elland Road, Leeds (Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 August).

Magic Weekend is Super League’s annual, family-focused get-together for all clubs and supporters – which makes family-friendly Flamingo Land a perfect partner for the event.    

Located near Malton in North Yorkshire, Flamingo Land is a convenient destination for Rugby League fans and families looking for a day out, short break or extended holiday. Flamingo Land’s family adventure park boasts more than 100 rides and attractions, including the incredible Splash Zone – the ultimate, weather-proof experience for all the family.    

The park also has one of the UK’s most popular zoos, where visitors can encounter and learn more about all kinds of exotic species, including hippos and rhinos – and even feed some of the animals by hand.  

Accommodation at Flamingo Land includes luxury lodges, log cabins, cottages, and caravan and camp sites – something for everybody. The site has four fantastic entertainment venues, where guests of all ages can enjoy a packed programme of live entertainment.

RL Commercial Head of Partnerships, Bobby Bahadori, said: ““I’m delighted to welcome Flamingo Land as a Magic Weekend partner – it’s a perfect partnership between the north’s premier theme park and one of Rugby League’s premier events.

“Like Magic Weekend, Flamingo Land is all about families and fun, and the resort itself is within easy reach of the majority of Rugby League fans. Fans coming to Elland Road next weekend can look forward to Flamingo Land-themed competitions.”

Already a main partner of Leeds United, Flamingo Land will also now benefit from significant exposure on Sky Sports across the six-match Magic Weekend. 

Flamingo Land chief executive, Gordon Gibb, added: "I’m excited for the weekend ahead, I think Magic Weekend is a great concept and Rugby League fans are extremely passionate."

Flamingo Land is situated off the A169 Malton-Pickering Road, postcode YO17 6UX. More information is available online at flamingoland.co.uk.
