RVP MULTI ENTRY PASS
If you are a frequent visitor to the RVP you may wish to consider purchasing a Multi Entry Pass
It is £100 for the Multi Entry Pass and is valid for 1 year from date of purchase.
The card will expire after either 50 visits or the 1 year expiration, whichever comes first.
From Monday 12th October 2026, the annual pass price will increase from £100 to £150.
The Multi-Entry Pass has remained extremely popular with our regular visitors and continues to provide significant value for those who visit the park frequently throughout the year. Following a review of pricing and operating costs, the RVP management have concluded that an increase is necessary to ensure the pass remains sustainable and supports ongoing investment in the visitor experience.
Despite the increase, the pass continues to offer excellent value for regular visitors and remains the most cost-effective option for customers making multiple visits during the year.
