Local holiday park treats Torbay families to a free fun day out

The big-hearted team at Beverley Holidays brought the feel-good factor when it welcomed local charity Play Torbay for a special Social Impact Day celebration on its Boulevard.

The third-generation holiday park in Paignton opened its doors to children and families from theTorbay charity for a free afternoon of arts and crafts, games, and activities hosted by its entertainers.

The event was part of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association’s ‘Park Make Places’ initiative – a nationwide campaign that shines a spotlight on the vital role holiday parks play instrengthening communities.

“We were thrilled to throw open our doors and share a day of joy and togetherness with families from PlayTorbay,” said Beverley Holidays Director Claire Flower. “It’s days like these that show how holiday parks can be more than just places to stay – they’re places that bring people together.”

With firm roots in the local community for six decades, family-run Beverley Holidays has a long-standingcommitment to giving back to the community and regularly teams up with local initiatives like Play Torbay.

“Our first involvement with Beverley Holidays was early last year when Entertainments Manager, Paul Farley, asked if we would be their charity of the year. Of course our response was a big fat YES!
