Guests at Waterfoot Park on Ullswater were thrilled this summer when Stanley, the lovable star of CBBC’s “Saturday Mash-Up!”, dropped by. Rather than causing mischief, Stanley was on a mission to discover why caravan holidays are so beloved.
Accompanied by a film crew, Stanley arrived one August weekend and wasted no time getting started. He chatted with park guest Marjorie Kettle and her three grandchildren about their favourite moments in their touring caravan. Stanley then toured Waterfoot Park, located near Pooley Bridge, to explore the fun and adventure it offers families.
He even hopped aboard a passenger boat, attempting to take the helm— much to the captain’s polite decline! The boat is operated by Ullswater Steamers, part of Lake District Estates, which also manages six award-winning parks, including Waterfoot.
Rachel Bell, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Lake District Estates, expressed the park’s excitement: “We were thrilled to host this popular children’s show and enjoyed watching Stanley’s antics both at Waterfoot Park and aboard Ullswater Steamers.
We hope the show inspires more families to visit and appreciate this beautiful part of the Lake District.” Waterfoot Park offers glamping, self-catering holidays, and holiday home ownership, and is a member of the British Holiday & Home Parks Association.
