Seaside Special Celebrations

22 July 2023 - 30 July 2023

Special Seaside Event at the Heights of Abraham

Grab a giant deck chair, a delicious ice cream, and enjoy live music in our Amphitheatre and on the Pergola stage, along with plenty of holiday happenings at our Heights of Abraham’s seaside summer special celebrations.

We may be some way from the sea, but we think you’ll agree that the Heights of Abraham is the perfect holiday spot this July. A great family event not to be missed (unless you’re on holiday of course…)

Train passengers may book a 20% discounted entry which can be validated with your train ticket on admission at the Cable Car Base Station.

Address

Heights of Abraham
The cable car base station is less than a five minutes’ walk from Matlock Bath Station, just follow the new walkway between the river and the railway.
