Flambards Theme Park was an amusement park located near Helston, Cornwall, England, UK.

History

The attraction opened in June 1976 as Aero Park and was initially an indoor and outdoor aviation exhibition. The business went into administration in December 2013 and was purchased the following month by Livingstone Leisure for £1.5 million.

On 4 November 2024, Flambards Theme Park announced that the park would permanently close with immediate effect. Reasons for the park's closure included rising costs and a decline in visitor numbers, which made the park's operation and investment unsustainable. The park had finished its season the previous day.
