    Found this item this afternoon.
    Statement from Peco.
    It is with great sadness and after much soul-searching we have decided to close Pecorama, our well-loved family attraction, for the 2026 season.
    With the challenging economic climate and costs continuing to rise, the PECO parent company cannot continue to support the financial losses of Pecorama. There is sincere hope that Pecorama can reopen in future in a new format which will continue to give lots of inspiration, fun and pleasure to our visitors. But, for the moment PECO will be focusing on growing the core businesses of manufacturing and publishing.
    Our sincere thanks go out to all our staff and volunteers for their dedication and hard work in making Pecorama a wonderful, friendly place to visit.
    If you hold a Gold Card membership with us, we are happy to offer a refund for any months that cannot be used. Please email us at info@pecorama.co.uk for details.
    Finally, we want to thank our lovely visitors for bringing the site to life and we look forward to welcoming you all again in some form in the future.

    I hope it can be reborn without losing the outside amenities that are really the jewel in its crown.

    The full statement says they're only profitable for 4 months of the year, but obviously the maintenance must continue year round.
