So if you’ve been following Skint Dad on Facebook, you’ve been patiently waiting for this and you know what it’s all about.
If you’re not following on Facebook yet, or you’ve been offline for a few weeks, let me fill you in.
The lovely people over at THORPE PARK contacted me out of the blue a week or so ago and offered for my family to have FREE access to the park for a whole year! WOW!
Now while this was a great and generous offer from them, as we don’t have a car (which is a very good way to cut down your budget if you can!) the cost of public transport back and forward would have been too much for us.
Pushing my luck…
But, instead of saying no thank you, I thought I’d try my hand and see what else I could get out of it.
Even if I couldn’t go, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t another family out there who’d love to have free tickets for a year.
And my asking paid off! :-D
THORPE PARK very kindly put up four annual passes to be given away to one very lucky Skint Dad reader.
Delighted by this, I shared the news!
However, after reading a few comments (all very positive), I realised that they were four individual passes. So rather than giving away one pass to four different people, I thought it would be better to give them away as one prize to a family, so everyone can go free.
I emailed back to THORPE PARK and let them know my plan. They totally agreed with me, and you, but out of the blue offered up another free pass!! Their thinking was that they’re aware many families have more than two children so it would work better for you guys – how nice of them!!
So, as the prize has developed a little let me be clear what the winner will receive.
THORPE PARK have very kindly offered one lucky Skint Dad reader:
5 FREE THORPE PARK Resort Annual Passes
The passes are worth £59.99 each which means the total prize value is £299.95, plus hours of free entertainment!!
These passes will be given away to one winner and will mean that, if you’re a family of five, you can go every day during the 200 days it’s open and not pay a penny to get in!
You can enter the giveaway using the form below.
As an added bonus, THORPE PARK Resort Annual Passholders receive:
- VIP style exclusive passholder-only entrance
- 20% discount in food outlets parkwide (apart from in Burger King and KFC franchises).
- 20% off in all retail stores
- 20% off of a stay at the THORPE SHARK Hotel, which includes free wifi, a hot full-English breakfast buffet in Fin’s Bar & Grill and priority access to Fastrack lanes on rides until 11am.
THORPE PARK in 2016
So what can you get from THORPE PARK this year?

Anne says
winning this prize would mean more time spent with the family – my kids are at an age now where the local park just doesn’t cut it and they want to go to bigger and more exciting places!
Wendy Tolhurst says
I am disabled so struggle to go out and about, but Thorpe Park is well designed for wheelchairs so that would make it easy. This half-term, I have struggled to find things I could do with my two younger daughters – to go out anywhere is really expensive if paying for a family of five. If I won the tickets to Thorpe Park, it would mean that, during holidays or at weekends, we could go to Thorpe Park whenever we wanted and, as we wouldn’t be paying for the entrance fee, we wouldn’t need to go for a whole day, whereas when we have been previously we have tried to be there from opening time to closing time to make the most of our money. This would help as I get tired easily and need pain relief so don’t really do long days anymore. With there being a spread of ages with my children, it would also be somewhere we could go that there is something for everyone.
Aislinn Phoenix Arthey says
My lot would love this! It would be a wonderful family holiday.
Julie Lynes says
Thank you Ricky for running this competition, it’ll really make a family’s year to win these passes! Thanks for all your great tips and positivity too :)
Nicola Martin says
THis would mean the difference between spending the summer at home locally or being able to spend whole days of it in this great theme park and all for the cost of the petrol there and back :-) What a brilliant gesture, thank you so much for giving all your followers this opportunity! X
Jeanette Davenport says
This would be awesome! I could make lots of happy memories and lots of photo’s with my family. xx
Sarah Gray says
Fab competition, will be keeping my fingers crossed :) keep up the good work skint dad
lorraine says
This prize would mean so much to us Ricky, trying very hard this year to get our finances back on track, and have been following a lot of your invaluable advice and wonderful recipes. Living only 45 minutes away from Thorpe Park would mean we could have some really happy family days out and make some amazing happy memories for just the cost of fuel. Thank you so very much for the chance to win such an amazing prize. Wishing you and your family continued happiness and continued success. You have achieved amazing things xxxxx
Dominic says
This would mean taking my 3 kids to a theme park for the first time and seeing the joy on their faces. It would mean quality stress free family time which is what we desperately need :) even if I don’t get chosen, thank you for being so generous and putting all the effort and time in to get a prize for someone else
Fahima Dalal Mulla says
Fantastic competition. I remember when my dad used to take us all on impromptu outings to theme parks. One of my favourite memories I have. I’ve always wanted to take my kids to Thorpe Park make a weekend of it, but everything put together works out way out of my budget. Winning the tickets would help out in a big way. Give my kids an enjoyable and memorable time. Good luck to everyone!
Laura Todd says
Such a good effort putting this competition together, it would mean the difference of a family spending quality time together doing something unique & exciting, the joy it will bring will be long lasting – to me personally it would mean fun family time, to whoever wins it will have everlasting happy memories so thank you :)
Tara Wilkins says
Great Competition! This would be a great for my family, my oldest daughter really loves theme park rides :D
Katie Humphries says
Having been on the money saving wagon for a while and pulling the purse strings right in to reduce a stupidly high £27000 debt I have been reading lots of blogs and searching tips along the way. My kids (6 and 8)
would love the amazing memories of a themed park day out and they could have a whole year of it. Keep up your inspiring blogs they help keep me going when I feel like giving up. Only another year and a bit and I should be debt free hooray!!!
jacqui says
Katie we where in a similar situation we had £25,000 debt and have managed to pay it off the end of last year, we literally had to scrimp and cut back on everything, except I refused to skimp on food having 3 children to feed, but it can be doneI take my hat off to you
Brady Kollecker says
This would be amazing as a father trying to constantly keep 4 kids with special needs entertained, the ability to go to Thorpe Park on a whim would be awesome! Good luck everyone!
Skye Muir Robinson says
brill prize. thank you. it would mean the kids get to see their trying to be brave on the rollercoasters etc
Stacey Smith says
I would love to win this for my girls. They deserve a treat! I’m a single mum to my 3 daughters. They are all I have and I’m all they have. I have no family around to help or support me so we pull together as a team. They deserve this treat as we have never had a ‘holiday’ before. They deserve a happy day to be kids and enjoy themselves making wonderful memories. They are the reason I keep going. I need them more than they need me. These are my angels ❤️
Debbie Burfoot says
As a large family it would mean we could have a lovely day out at a theme park. They are so expensive and we have yet to go as a family. Would mean a lot
Kim Dillon says
It would just be so lovely to take the kids out and not worry about how much it costs
Betty Olson says
It would mean a fantastic trip with my family!
Tami Goodwin says
My husband and myself don’t get to take our children out at all due to my physical issues and money. So these passes would seriously mean the world to all of us
Rachael Relton says
Morning Ricky! What a fab competition and as you say what’s the harm in asking – what a result.
Rachael Barnard says
My teenage daughter would be delighted!
Debbie Lawrence says
Peace and quiet!!!!! A whole day without the “I’m bored” , “what can we do”, “she hit me first”, ” the dog done it”! and all the other senarios that go with kids that get so bored so easily ……….heaven!
Zoe Britton says
It would mean that we can have days out for all the family and fun for all ages! we have a 11 year old, 5 year and 1 year old so family da trips out become very expensive – this would be a life saver! :)
Oli Marshall says
It would be life changing, without exaggeration! My little ones would LOVE it. Yes, please!
Starliteprism says
This would be a great incentive to make 2016 an even more fun year than the last. :-D
Rhianna says
It would be amazing to win these as me and my family always save up money and go to Thorpe park or Alton towers, and with these we can go and not have to save up to go.
Coasterfan312 says
I’m a huge theme park fanatic, and can’t afford to get an annual pass myself this year.
Tales From the Dad Side says
What a lovely give away! Thanks!
Elise says
I would absolutely love to win this giveaway, going on day trips with my family is great bonding time. It’s also a super fun day out. I can’t wait to go and visit the new attraction made by Mr. brown himself.
sharon_peters123 says
We haven’t been to Thorpe Park in ages – the cost is almost prohibitive as a family unless you manage to find some vouchers. Thank you so much for such a brilliant giveaway prize!
Claire Robertson says
This would be great, finally have a holiday! :-)
James says
We have three kids who would love to go to these parks. It’s not easy to afford it with lots of other expenses.
Jeremy Rance says
To be honest it would provide hours of entertainment at my expense for my kids seeing me cling on for dear life like a wimp haha
Christina Curtis says
It would mean I could take my niece and nephew out more often without worrying about the expense. Would be a perfect way of making memories!
Spencer Wright says
It would mean I can finally go to Thorpe Park! I’m a 42yr old roller coaster fan who has never been! Every year I say I’m going to visit & it just never happens. With this prize I would have no excuses! And, of course, my wife & 3 kids could come too! ;) Fingers crossed, I’ll be going on Stealth, Swarm & Colossus…… :)
Adrian Bold says
This would be great for the family. We’ve not been to a theme park in ages.
ZacharyB says
I would love to be able to take all my family to Thorpe park, have a fab time, and then be able the repeat the process many times throughout the year!
maci234 says
it would be fandabidozy
Lydia Lillyinthesun Houghton says
It would be genuinely fantastic – a great way to get the children away from ‘screens’, and lovely to spend time having fun as a family.
maria hackett says
it would be amazing as I have three daughters and we have never been. . it would be a lovely treat for the girls!
Claire says
It would mean I could take my nieces and nephews out for the day

Would be lovely to have some fun family days out and we all love going on the rides
Andrew Seaman says
Would mean an absolutely amazing family holiday – I have always wanted to go but never actually been – it would be such a thrill and would love to win.
Kim W says
Everything – just for one day out with the family would mean a lot as it costs so much, let alone a whole season. Thank you, fingers crossed.
Amer Zaheer says
It would mean the world to me, it would mean being able to go Thorpe park for a whole year for free with my family. Plus i would be able to spend the money saved from this prize i could spend on something else
Jessica says
Skint is like the holy word echoed by everyone in our household. I know my parents would very much appreciate the chance to have some fun and, as for my younger brother and sister they would be ecstatic.
Jane Wright says
This prize would mean so much. My kids don’t get to go to places like Thorpe Park as I just can’t afford it. Amazing prize – thanks for the chance.
sunshine says
We live about 15 minutes away from Thorpe Park, so its just perfect for us, I would go after school my kids at 14 and 17 so they’d love even to go on their own. The beach is perfect for those hot days in the summer when the pool isn’t up! Brilliant prize!
Karen Pugh says
Such a brilliant prize! Would love to take the kids on wonderful day out and repeat it whenever we want to!!-Dream prize for us :)
Michaela Fuller says
This is probably the most amazing prize I’ve ever seen!! It would be the most incredible thing to win these tickets! My husband and I would love to take our children here, but just haven’t had the money too. Brings back so many memories for me as a child, and for my husband and I when we went on a school trip when we were younger. Seriously, I’m getting so excited just thinking about haha!
supastar1501 says
This would be amazing. Its one of the places on our very big family to do list. :-) Thank you for the giveaway x
Gemma Holland says
It would mean a whole year of fun, excitement and begging for the next visit from my boys I’m sure. They are turning into real thrill seekers & this would be a perfect adventure for us. Thank you
e4b4 says
It would means so much. My son has Asperger’s and ADHD and he needs constant entertaining and he loves Thorpe Park. One year we saved up and got passes and he was going up to 3 times a week. It would mean the world to me to win this wonderful prize. We could continue making memories as a family, and that is priceless!!
mattmcandrew says
Well it would be awesome. We live pretty close to Thorpe Park but really cannot get there as much as we would like because of the family budget. Three kids, one boy with Down’s and a little girl who is like Evel Kneivel reborn, this would make their day :-)
