Wicksteed Park celebrates centenary a year late due to Covid
- Published
One of the UK's oldest theme parks which has had to "fight" to reach its centenary year will finally celebrate the occasion later.
Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire, opened to the public as a free space in August 1921.
It was the idea of the inventor and playground manufacturer Charles Wicksteed.
It was not able to mark its 100th birthday last year due to the pandemic but will hold celebrations later.
