The park will no longer open this weekend, and the hotels are also closing until further notice.

A statement from Alton Towers explained: “Further to recent updates from the Government on the response to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, we have taken the very difficult decision to postpone the opening of Alton Towers Resort Theme Park and to close our Hotels and support offices as a precautionary measure.

“While we have been looking forward to welcoming visitors this weekend, we believe that this decision is the right thing to protect the health and wellbeing of our employees and guests.”

They added that anyone with booked stays at the resort between now and April 25 will be contacted by the park.
