Chessington World of Adventures was the target of complaints from far-right groups angry about a fun day booked for the Muslim Eid festival.

A far-right blog, which claims to be engaged in “expossing [sic] the evil of Islam”, urged readers to complain to the park. A link to the website was shared on Twitter by an account claiming to represent the Nottingham branch of the British National Party.

A park spokeswoman said the park is closed from November 4 until December 7. She said: “This is one of many private hire events held in our ‘close season’ at the park and we do not discriminate against any religions or faiths. The event is open to all faiths.”
