It offers businesses a cleaner, modern twist on a timeless activity, without doubling their card stock. • Snow Clayz – A truly unique addition, Snow Clayz uses a fluffy, snow-like foam material that children mould into colourful, imaginative creations. This sensory-rich activity is perfect for children who enjoy tactile, hands-on play.• Fluid Bearz – One of our most eye-catching products, Fluid Bearz invites children to pour bright, flowing paints onto bear figures to create completely one-of-a-kind designs. Every bear becomes a personal masterpiece, making this a standout activity for venues looking to offer something visually exciting, memorable, and highly shareable. • Art Lampz – Art Lampz allow children to design their very own lamp, which is then illuminated to create a glowing piece of personalised décor. It’s a unique keepsake that blends creativity with practicality.• Mini Masterz – With multiple designs available, Mini Masterz allows children to produce little works of art to proudly display. It’s simple, engaging, and ideal for high- traffic venues. • Tilez – This gives children the chance to create decorative pieces they can take home and display. Tilez are perfect for children who love crafting something lasting.• Grass Headz – One of our most charming activity options, Grass Headz let children create their own character, then watch its “hair” grow over time. It’s fun, silly, and encourages kids to nurture their creation long after the day’s activity.

Insurance specialists Caravan Guard donate cash to people in crisis
Campervan, motorhome and caravan insurance specialists Caravan Guard and Leisuredays have continued their tradition of giving back by donating £1,650 to Happy Days as part of its Birthday Giving Initiative.Over the last nine months, every Caravan Guard and Leisuredays team member has received a small birthday hamper – and for each one, the company has donated the equivalent value to Happy Days to fund toiletries for people experiencing homelessness, living in the Winter Shelter, in emergency accommodation, or accessing food parcels.The initiative began with a simple idea: to spread a little joy. Each donated amount has helped fill the charity’s “birthday pot”, enabling Happy Days to gift their service users with essential toiletries and pamper items to help them feel valued on their own birthdays. Caravan Guard presented Happy Days with a cheque for £1,650 – representing the full value donated through the fundraising initiative. The company also created a sample toiletries hamper for the charity to share with its service users.And better still, the full £1,650 was doubled through the Big Give campaign, meaning even more support for those who need it most. Caravan Guard’s Associate Director, Laura Wilby, said their giving back initiative was a meaningful way to extend their staff birthday celebrations beyond the business.“Care completely is one of our core values, and this allows us to put that into practice all year round,” said Laura. “Knowing that each staff birthday is helping someone in crisis feel supported and celebrated is incredibly special. We’re delighted our donation will be doubled through the Big Give and hope it brings comfort to many people who rely on Happy Days’ fantastic services.” Sharon Robins, Corporate Relationship Manager at Happy Days UK, said the partnership has had a huge impact.“We’re so grateful to Caravan Guard for their creativity, kindness and commitment,” she commented.“These toiletries aren’t just practical items – they help people feel valued, especially those living in our Winter Shelter or facing real hardship. “The birthday hampers will bring so much joy, and this donation being doubled will make an even bigger difference to the people we support.” Caravan Guard continues to champion local charities through donations, fundraising and community initiatives, with tens of thousands of pounds given each year.
Park Holidays UK sweeps the board at British Travel Awards
A golden night for Park Holidays UK at December’s British Travel Awards saw the group take first place in all four domestic holiday categories of the competition. It was voted Best Company for UK Family Holidays, Best Company for UK Parks & Lodges Holidays, Best Company for UK Short Breaks, and Best Company for UK Holiday Home Rentals. Judges announced the result at BTA’s prestigious awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair, attended by senior tourism and travel industry figures from across the country. Based on nominations by almost half a million individuals, the BTA accolades are recognised as the most influential consumer-voted awards in the UK travel industry. Park Holidays UK said it was “thrilled and delighted” to be named as the overall winner in all classes of the awards open to UK holiday providers. This is the second year in succession that the group has received honours in the BTA Awards which, it says, underline the ever-evolving high quality standards to which the company is committed. Brad May, Chief Marketing Officer of Park Holidays UK, also paid tribute to the parks’ staff teams whose dedication to customer care had helped clinch the four Golds. The awards followed an announcement earlier in December by Park Holidays UK that it is to make a multi-million pound investment across its portfolio of more than 50 parks in 2026. New swimming pools, leisure centres, spas, entertainment venues and restaurants, said Brad, will help improve even further the experience of guests and holiday home owners. The BTA awards, he added, were a vote of confidence by the public that the group was consolidating its position as Britain’s leading provider of high quality park stays. “What makes these awards so important is that the winners were chosen by families and couples based on their own holiday experiences,” said Brad. “Customers are clearly enjoying the high standards that we strive to provide, and also the friendliness and hospitality they encounter at our parks. “Delivering this aspect of our holidays is very much the role of our park teams, and so we give them a big thank-you for creating our uniquely welcoming atmosphere,” said Brad. Park Holidays UK was founded just over 30 years ago, and now operates parks in many popular coastal and countryside locations across the UK. Staying options include holiday caravans and luxury lodges to rent and to own, plus glamping accommodation. Many parks also provide pitches for motorhomes, touring caravans and tents. “We offer our sincere gratitude to the many people who voted for us in these awards, and we’re looking forward to creating many more happy memories in 2026” added Brad.

Park Holidays UK to roll out major 2026 investment programme
Park Holidays UK has said it will invest millions in hospitality and entertainment at its parks next year. The East Sussex based firm – which is owned by Sun Communities, America’s largest operator of park homes – has unveiled plans for a major investment across its parks in 2026, raising the quality bar to “its highest level yet” according to a group spokesperson. The company, which has a portfolio of more than 50 parks, says the multi-million pound splash will see new or updated swimming pools, leisure centres, spas, entertainment venues, bars, restaurants and children’s activities at a host of its parks. The announcement comes after a year of booming customer demand and holiday home buyers. Park Holidays UK says it is predicting the rise in demand will continue in 2026, with the investment helping to further boost the contribution of its parks to regional economies, creating new job opportunities in the process. Brad May, Chief Marketing Officer at Park Holidays UK, said that the vast majority of guests last year were repeat visitors or coming as a result of a personal recommendation. He said: “Our aim is to deliver unique and exciting holiday experiences, and one way to achieve this is to continually broaden the range of attractions and facilities on offer at our parks. “We are also conscious that families associate us with affordable and fun-packed stays, so our traditional great value pricing policy will remain firmly in place,” said Brad. Among the projects on the drawing board for 2026 is a new indoor pool and leisure complex with a bar, restaurant and children’s playground at Pakefield Holiday Park in the Norfolk Broads. There’s also a new swimming pool coming at Malvern View Holiday Park in Herefordshire, along with a new gymnasium featuring state-of-the-art exercise equipment. Meanwhile, visitors to Bowland Fell Holiday Park near Skipton will also benefit from a new swimming pool at the 130-acre site on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. These and other parks in the group will additionally have new children’s activities introduced, plus new and upgraded facilities for the staging of professional family-friendly entertainment. Parks will also see new restaurants and bars taking shape, many with the spotlight on al-fresco dining and drinking where guests can enjoy all-day outside drinks and food service. Substantial investments last year in in its parks helped win Park Holidays UK Gold accolades in the 2025 British Travel Awards, and a Gold Trusted Service Award from leading review platform Feefo. Investors in People also awarded the company its prestigious Gold accreditation for workplace standards in 2025, highlighting the group’s commitment to developing a culture of customer care. Park Holidays UK currently employs around 2,900 people during the peak season, largely in rural and coastal areas, and provides training for those seeking a career in hospitality. “We are already receiving many advance holiday bookings for 2026 throughout the group, and are looking forward to celebrating our new developments with guests,” said Brad May.

Trade association boss hits out at tourism levies plan
The British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) has issued a stark warning following the Budget. It has accused the Government of failing to support a sector that underpins regional economies and delivers thousands of jobs across the country. Holiday parks say yesterday’s announcement to allow tourism levies in England is a serious misstep. BH&HPA warns that a new tax on visitors will push up the cost of domestic holidays, deter families already under financial pressure and hit coastal and rural communities that depend heavily on tourism spending. The trade association, representing a sector that generates £12.2 billion in visitor spending, is also dismayed that Ministers have only made minor amends to the proposed changes to Inheritance Tax rules by allowing spousal sharing. BH&HPA – which is set to relaunch as HARPA in January – has cautioned that these proposals place long-standing family-owned parks at real risk, threatening business continuity and the livelihoods they support. Rising employment costs across the industry continue to squeeze operators’ ability to recruit, retain staff and invest in the future. Fully funding the training schemes for young apprentices hired by small and medium enterprises is one small step towards supporting parks operators. Debbie Walker, Director General of BH&HPA, said: “Today’s Budget offers little reassurance for holiday and residential parks businesses that are vital to regional economies. “Yesterday’s decision to allow tourism levies in England is deeply disappointing and risks making domestic holidays less affordable for families at a time when our coastal and rural communities need greater support. “We are equally concerned by the lack of any serious changes on Inheritance Tax proposals, which continue to place family-run parks and the jobs they sustain under real threat. “Rising employment costs are adding further pressure across the industry, constraining parks’ ability to recruit and invest. “We want to work constructively with Government to find solutions that secure growth, protect jobs and ensure the long-term future of this vital industry. Regrettably, the measures announced today fall far short of what is needed.” The BH&HPA is urging the Treasury to begin immediate dialogue with the sector to prevent long-term damage to one of the UK’s most important rural and coastal industries.
Products review – Bosch Universal 18v Leaf Blower and AXT Rapid 2200 Shredder
Is there a more arduous groundskeeping task than clearing up leaves and garden debris? If you’re a park operator it’s got to be done as leaf fall can clog up gulleys, block gutters and damage grass – not to mention the unsightly look of rotting leaves around your grounds. Sure, some satisfaction can be had from creating big piles of leaves, but if the wind picks up or a scurrilous child or pet is passing, all your hard work is undone. So any means of easing the pain of leaf gathering must be welcomed – right? The modern world is constantly inventing labour saving devices and the leaf blower isn’t a new thing. But what is relatively new is the light weight battery powered leaf blower. However, whether you’re a ‘Luddite’ or a fully fledged disciple of the battery revolution, the reality is there are certain things that cordless electric does well and others that old fashioned corded power or petrol power excel at. Below we have tested two products from Bosch to find out if they’re up to the job. The Bosch Universal 18v leaf blower – RRP £134 with battery & charger / £67 tool only. My first impression of the Bosch Universal 18v leaf blower is how small the package is. “How did they fit it in that tiny box?” I said to the bemused delivery man as he unloaded on my doorstep. The item comes in a box no bigger than that of a household kettle. That’s because it is essentially no more than a small motor on a handle with two bits of plastic piping that join together (and a battery of course). Putting it together takes literally five seconds and off you go – providing the battery is charged. A charger is included but a faster one and a bigger battery can be purchased separately Small but mighty? The main advantage of this leaf blower is it is so light – just 1.6kg. In comparison, a higher end rival petrol blower is about 10kg. A quick check of five or six battery powered rivals finds that none are lighter than the Bosch. If you have ever spent some time doing repetitive outdoor tasks you’ll know the weight of the equipment usually starts to bother you sooner than you expected. But with this Bosch Universal leaf blower, it is so light weight that you could use it for hours with absolutely zero arm or shoulder strain. Does small mean gutless? In a word – no! It has just about enough puff to start clearing the mix of wet and dry leaves stuck to my lawn and buried in the flower beds. I’m not sure if I’ve fully got the knack of leaf blowing yet as it seems more like herding cats than the herding of sheep you’d expect it to feel like. My point being, for every few leaves you manage to blow in the right direction it feels like a few blow the wrong way. And one wrong swipe of the arm and you’ve blown them all over the place. Anyway, I digress. In terms of doing what it’s supposed to, this leaf blower hits the mark. Compared with my Ryobi garden vacuum, it is so much easier to use for extended periods without getting pains in your arms, shoulders and back. The Ryobi vac has a carry-strap to mitigate this but I find it pretty useless as it slips off your shoulder very easily. The only way to avoid this is to buy a backpack style leaf blower – which are typically at a higher price point and petrol powered. The Bosch Universal leaf blower has two speeds. Neither is going to blow the local squirrels off their feet – but they are enough for the delicate herding operation referenced earlier. Any more power and you’ll likely be blowing your leaves into your neighbours property, which might not go down well. Fully charged The only caveat to my good impression of the Bosch Universal leaf blower is battery life. The supplied 2.5 amp hours battery lasts just 20 minutes leaving me to turn to a spare 4 amp battery I happened to have to finish the job, clearing a patch of approx 5m2. However, as Bosch is part of the Power For All Alliance, sharing batteries with ten other brands, it is entirely possible that you’ll have that option too. So overall the Bosch 18v Universal Leaf Blower is a decent option for small bouts of leaf collecting or for a medium sized task if you have a spare battery or two. Verdict 4/5 Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 shredder – RRP £297 Meanwhile – Bosch UK also loaned us its mid range garden shredder. While Bosch does make a Universal 2x18v battery powered shredder its lesser power means it can only handle branches up to 25mm. The AXT Rapid is a corded electric shredder with a laser-cut blade capable of shredding challenging loads, including branches up to 40 mm thick. It has a large fast-feed hopper with a practical prodder that allows you to tip a handful of debris in the top and push it down without losing your fingers. Unlike the vastly more expensive AXT 25 TC, it does not come with any kind of collection bin to catch the chippings. It is designed to be towed onto a flower bed or compost area although you could place a small builders bag or bucket under it to catch the debris. The unboxing Much like the leaf blower, the AXT Rapid is very easy to assemble, arriving almost fully built. All that is required is to screw the wheels on the trolley it rests on and then screw the trolley onto it. It is easy to wheel about and turning it on is incredibly obvious thanks to the very large knob on the top. One always feels slightly nervous about operating any device with spinning blades and I must admit to being
Foot golf – the new way to drive revenue to your park
Highlands End Holiday Park in Dorset has hailed the success of its new foot golf course and recommended other parks to consider creating one. The park, near Bridport, launched Dorset Foot Golf in May 2024 and it was an instant hit with thousands of customers flooding in. Marketing chief, James Loveridge, had the idea after visiting other foot golf facilities and enjoying his experience. He said: “Our pitch and putt was just not very well used so I’ve been pushing for it for a few years. “We converted it into an 18 hole foot golf course and have had more than 15,000 visitors since opening. “It brings in 20 times the revenue of the pitch n putt course and has been attracting people staying at other holiday parks and other accommodations in the area, to the park, as well as lots of local residents such as football clubs and other sports teams or groups.” Family appeal James said he was always confident that the conversion would pay off. The park management has created it with a range of features similar to ‘crazy golf’ to boost the appeal to families and children. Data shows 45% of the users so far have been kids. He said: “I knew it was a growing sport and thought our site would be perfect for it. “I think pitch and putt is much harder to play for most people. “Footgolf has much wider appeal and it’s definitely easier for children to do. “The idea was to get visitors up here to see our facilities and the views, and also keep our customers on site. Hopefully this has an impact on future bookings too. “We have been getting a lot of players from other holiday parks and a decent amount from the local community as we leafletted the area, which did help get the word out. “We’ve also got listings out on Visit Dorset website and some paid for Facebook posts advertising it.” The stats The design and build process Dorset Foot Golf, as the course is named, did not require a huge investment. It has been designed in a more playful way than most foot golf courses, which are more akin to traditional golf. James explained: “There’s not been a huge amount to do to convert the pitch n putt. “I designed the course myself and came up with the idea for obstacles and we’ve used our own maintenance team and a range of local tradespeople to design and manufacture the various features on the course, such as ramps, tunnels, hoops, loops, nets and local landmark themed signs. “The only thing that’s come from a national footgolf supplier is the holes and the flagpoles. “The capital cost was fairly low, just a few thousand pounds, and the labour. “The running costs are also minimal as we manage it from our on-site shop. Customers book online and collect their score card and football from the store. “We might staff it next summer to improve customer service but there’s not been any issues at all running it this way.” Advice to other parks “It’s definitely something parks can do quite easily if they’ve got the land,” said James. “My main advice, or if I was to do ours again, is that I would make it a bit smaller. “Ours is on seven acres and I think I could have done it on half that. A lot of our holes are 100 yards long, so if I was doing it again I’d make a lot of them shorter so it’s a bit easier for children. “The other issue to consider is how flat the site is – if it’s too slopey the ball can run away if the grass is short or there’s not enough grass.” http://www.wdlh.co.uk/ All images courtesy Dorset Foot Golf
Grantham’s caravans supports Cancer Research UK with hilarious video
Grantham’s, an award-winning caravan and motorhome dealership and long-standing member of the National Caravan Council (NCC), has launched a bold and light-hearted awareness campaign in support of Cancer Research UK — showing how the leisure industry can use creativity and community engagement to make a meaningful impact. The campaign centres around a witty video that has quickly caught attention across social channels. In the clip, a Grantham’ technician finishes explaining a customer’s completed caravan service, before saying, “Other than that, I think that’s it — unless there’s anything else?”. The customer replies “Actually, you couldn’t take a look at these could you?”, then humorously drops their trousers, implying a “check down below,” prompting the reply: “We just service caravans.” The video concludes with the impactful reminder: “You check your caravan… so why not check yourself?” 🎥 Watch the campaign video Through the Work for Good platform, Grantham’s has said it will donate 10% of all proceeds from caravan and motorhome habitation services directly to Cancer Research UK, funding life- saving research while driving vital health awareness among its customer base. “If it encourages one person to get checked, it’s worth it.” Mitch Brown, Director of Marketing at Grantham’s, said: “We wanted to do something that not only raises funds but starts conversations. The idea behind the video was to take something our customers are familiar with — a caravan service — and use it as a way to highlight the importance of looking after yourself, too.Cancer affects so many people, and if our message encourages even one person to get checked, it’s worth it.” The initiative runs throughout the season, with all donations made transparently through Work for Good, ensuring every contribution goes directly to Cancer Research UK. Championing positive engagement within the leisure industry As a proud NCC member for many years, Grantham’s continues to demonstrate how dealerships can use their platform to promote positive causes while strengthening customer trust and engagement. By combining brand personality with purpose, the dealership shows that creative marketing and social responsibility can go hand-in-hand — helping both the community and the industry’s reputation thrive.
