Comcast Corp. said it will proceed with plans to build its first European theme park in the UK after getting necessary approvals from the government there.

The park will be built in Bedford, about 35 minutes north of London by train, the company said in a press release Tuesday. Construction is expected to start in 2026. Comcast acquired the 476-acre parcel two years ago.
