In November 2024, it was announced that Flambards was shutting its doors due to rising costs and falling visitor numbers. In a statement put out on social media, the park's management said it had been "a cherished destination for generations" and that their decision had been made with "a heavy heart". Members of the community echoed this sentiment and spoke of their sadness at the decision.

Fortunately, the fun hasn't completely stopped. The park's indoor play centre has reopened as a standalone attraction.
