Comcast NBCUniversal plans to build a theme park in Bedford, U.K., its first ever resort complex in Europe.

The media and entertainment company said the park will be designed by its Universal Destinations & Experiences segment. It will have several themed lands with rides, attractions and entertainment. The resort will also have a 500-room hotel and a retail, dining and entertainment complex.

Universal said it plans to submit a planning application for the park soon and if approved plans to start construction on the site next year. It bought the 476-acre piece of land in Bedford in 2023.

"Bringing the Universal brand to the United Kingdom is another exciting step forward in generating future growth," said Mark Woodbury, Chairman and CEO of Universal Destinations & Experiences.

The U.K. government said Wednesday that the park will create around 28,000 jobs and boost the economy by 50 billion pounds ($63.83 billion). The park is expected to open in 2031.
