Merlin's Magic Wand - Charity for children

As one of the world’s leading operators of visitor attractions, with 60 attractions in 12 countries and across 3 continents, Merlin Entertainments welcomes over 32 million people to its attractions every year – many of them children.  Merlin Entertainments’ special charity – Merlin’s Magic Wand – has been set up to provide magical experiences to many more children who are seriously ill, disabled or disadvantaged and who might not otherwise be able to visit one of our many attractions around the world.

Through Merlin’s Magic Wand charity, we seek to provide the means for children to visit us, or to take part in another similar experience appropriate to their circumstances. Grants towards the cost of travel and accommodation may be provided if needed, in addition to providing entrance passes to the attraction or experience.

To find out more about Merlin's Magic Wand, eligibility criteria, and how you can apply for an award, go to www.merlinsmagicwand.org, from where application forms can be downloaded.

School Requests

Chessington World of Adventures offers a Schools Partnership Scheme which provides PTA's at local schools an opportunity to fundraise by working directly with us to promote Chessington.

If you would like more information on the scheme please email the following address and we can discuss how we can work together in the future:

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you luck with all your fundraising events.

Local Residents

We are delighted to once again to offer our local residents a chance to visit Chessington World of Adventures for FREE in 2010. If you live in the KT9 1, KT9 2 and KT22 0 postcodes you will be eligible for four free tickets.

We have, in the last few years, had some issues with delivering the complimentary tickets in a safe and practical way so that all residents in the area can enjoy their visit to the Park. We regret that some of you did not receive your tickets in a timely manner in previous years, and have vowed to make improvements to the way this is handled.

As with last year, instead of printed vouchers being sent to you, we have now put in place the following procedures:

1. Decide on the date you want to visit Chessington World of Adventures. Any dates when the tickets are not valid are clearly noted below
2. Go to the Ticket Desk. Say you are a local resident, and provide PROOF OF ADDRESS (such as a utility bill) and IDENTIFICATION, which we will make a copy of.
3. Up to four tickets, valid for that day only, will be printed and you can enjoy your visit to the park.

Please note this is only for our immediate local residents living in postcode areas KT9 1, KT9 2 and KT22 0.
