The Universal United Kingdom Resort (also referred to as Universal Studios Great Britain) is a theme park and resort complex under construction in Bedfordshire, England. The park will be the eighth Universal Studios Resort, and the first in Europe since Universal sold Universal Mediterranea in 2004. The proposed development includes a theme park comprising multiple themed lands, designed to incorporate Universal Destinations & Experiences’s signature approach to immersive storytelling, rides, attractions, and live entertainment. The initial plans for the resort also provide for a 500-room hotel and an integrated retail, dining, and entertainment complex
Construction of the resort commenced on 12 January 2026, with an anticipated completion date in 2031. The initial phase of the theme park is planned to occupy approximately 476 acres (193 hectares), with provisions for future expansion of the site to a maximum of 700 acres (280 hectares; 1.1 square miles).
