Big Little Wellness Weekend Coming to Holkham
The Caravan and Motorhome Club is bringing The Big Little Wellness Weekend to its scenic Holkham Hall pop-up site from 15th–17th August 2025, announced Practical Caravan magazine recently.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Norfolk’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the event invites visitors to unwind in nature, with wellness sessions, outdoor activities, and evening entertainment. Whether you’re looking to recharge with yoga and sound baths or seek adventure with archery and foraging, there’s something for everyone.
The site is just a mile from the coast, where visitors can explore Holkham Beach, the National Nature Reserve, and the vast Holkham estate. You can also claim a 30% discount on entry to Holkham Hall, the Walled Garden, and Holkham Stories.
A weekend (Friday to Sunday) caravan touring pitch for two adults – including electric hook-up and access to all the site’s facilities – costs £138. Wellness event tickets are £38 per adult and £28 for children (6–17), with under-5s going free.
Caravan owners issued parking ban after residents’ complaints
A story in the Express newspaper on the 5th of May described how complaints from residents have resulted in a caravan parking ban in Arundel, West Sussex.
Under a Traffic Regulation Order, caravans (and certain other vehicles) are prohibited from parking overnight along sections of the street in the much-visited Sussex town. The restrictions will be enforced from 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. daily.
The rule, which was introduced in early April, follows collaboration between Arundel Town Council and West Sussex County Council in response to residents’ concerns about the impact of caravan parking in the area.
Fancy owning a holiday park? Warwickshire caravan site with moorings hits market for £1.25m
If you’ve ever dreamed of swapping the daily grind for life by the water, this might be your moment. A rare opportunity has come up to buy a long-established caravan park with private moorings in the heart of rural Warwickshire — and it’s on the market for £1.25 million.
Offered for sale through Savills, the Avon Caravan Park sits just outside the picturesque village of Welford-on-Avon and enjoys a prime location along the River Avon. The site includes 30 static caravan pitches and 10 moorings, all set within around 3.3 acres of tranquil countryside.
The property also comes with a three-bedroom owner’s bungalow, giving prospective buyers the chance to live onsite while managing the business — or simply enjoy the peaceful riverside lifestyle.
The park currently operates with a mix of owned and rented holiday units and holds a site licence to operate for nine months of the year. With increasing demand for staycations and riverside retreats, the new owner could explore further development (subject to planning) or continue running it as it is.
Just seven miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, the site offers easy access to Shakespeare Country, the Cotswolds, and beyond — making it an attractive destination for holidaymakers.
So, if you’ve got £1.25m to invest and you’re tempted by the idea of owning your own slice of English countryside (with added boats), this Warwickshire gem could be just the ticket!
