The Wilmot Family

The Wilmot family has played a pivotal role in the development and success of Bundoran Adventure Park in County Donegal. Thomas Wilmot Jnr, originally from Scotland, first visited Bundoran around 1998 and began collaborating with the then-owners, the Harrison family. Their company eventually acquired the park, and Thomas and Michelle Wilmot became the new owners and driving force for over three decades. Under their leadership and with the help of their two sons, Lewis and Josh, and support from Thomas’s parents, the park expanded significantly, adding numerous attractions and increasing visitor numbers.
Thomas had ambitious plans to further develop the park into a small theme park with numerous attractions and rides, aiming to attract more than 200,000 visitors annually and double the workforce .
Along with their father Lewis and Josh purchased two Big Wheels which visit prestigious Christmas events each year. Lewis and Josh have been helping to manage Bundoran Adventure Park from a very young age.
Tragically, Thomas Wilmot Jnr passed away on December 11, 2023, at the age of 55. He was laid to rest in Stirling, Scotland. His passing was deeply felt in the community, where he was remembered not only for his entrepreneurial spirit but also for his generosity and contributions to local charities and events. Following Thomas's passing, along with their mother Michelle, his sons, Josh and Lewis Wilmot, and Lewis’s wife Charlotte have continued to operate Bundoran Adventure Park developing and maintaining it to the high standards that they know were always so important to their father.
Michelle Wilmot is known for her role as the Director of Bundoran Adventure Park Ltd. With a strong background in customer service, business development, and marketing, she has been instrumental in managing and promoting the park as a key family-friendly attraction in the region .
The Wilmot family's dedication has been the driving force in transforming Bundoran Adventure Park into a prominent family attraction on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. Their father's vast knowledge and input into the park is sorely missed, and after many years of working alongside him and helping him to grow his business, they are confident they will be able to carry on with what Thomas had already achieved.
