CUMBRIA HOLIDAY PARK WELCOMES CBBC’S STANLEY

Posted on November 12, 2024

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.

When three-year-old Amber Kibbey fell in love with a hedgehog at Park Holiday’s Riviera Bay resort in Devon earlier this year, her mum Claire knew that it was the real thing. So when they made a return visit to the park this autumn, the family had a big surprise in store for Amber – a matching mini-version of the pretty pink outfit worn by her heroine! It was presented to the star-struck toddler just before she set off for the Brixham park’s daily children’s show where mascot Penny Prickles was due to be on stage. In front of a cheering crowd, Amber went under the spotlights to receive the admiration – and a big hug – from the hedgehog which had won her heart.
