ONE BUILDING, COUNTLESS USES

How Palmako Connect is helping holiday parks create flexible, revenue-generating spaces that evolve with their business...

A bar, outdoor kitchen, kiosk, guest lounge, wellness retreat, gym, reception point or covered social hub. Traditionally, each would require a different building. Palmako Connect takes a smarter approach. Built around a modular 3m x 3m format, Connect enables holiday park operators to create spaces tailored to their site and business needs.

Individual modules can be used independently or combined into larger configurations, making it easy to start small and expand as requirements evolve. To simplify the planning process even further, Palmako is introducing a new 3D configurator, allowing customers to design their own Connect building online.

Users can experiment with layouts, dimensions, roof styles, glazing options and module combinations to create a structure that meets their exact requirements before speaking with the Palmako team. Connect can be configured in countless ways, with options including open or enclosed layouts, bar corners, kiosk serving hatches, louvre privacy screens, full wall panels and three-panel sliding doors.

Available with either 28mm or 44mm wall construction, double glazing and a choice of flat or pyramid roof designs, the range can be adapted to suit everything from outdoor bars and kitchens to wellness facilities and guest lounges.

The flexibility of the concept has already inspired a wide variety of projects. Holiday park operators have used Connect buildings as bars, kiosks, outdoor kitchens, wellness facilities and guest lounges, while others have created compact gyms and fitness studios. The beauty of the system lies in its ability to adapt to changing needs and maximise the use of available space.

The appeal extends beyond the holiday park sector. Professional rally driver Elfyn Evans selected a flat-roof Connect building as part of his own outdoor leisure space. Set against a stunning backdrop, the project demonstrates how Connect can create attractive, functional environments that blend seamlessly into their surroundings.

For holiday parks, flexibility has never been more important. Guest expectations continue to evolve, new revenue opportunities emerge and facilities are increasingly expected to serve multiple purposes throughout the season. Rather than investing in a building with a single function, operators can create adaptable spaces that evolve alongside their business.

Palmako Connect offers a simple proposition: one modular building system with almost limitless possibilities. Palmako is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of timber structures, supplying holiday parks with accommodation, wellness and outdoor living solutions designed to enhance guest experiences and deliver long-term commercial value.

THE UK’S LEADING PARK & LEISURE HOMES SHOW RETURNS

THE ONLY UK event where you can walk through a full park home village.

Every year, the UK’s park and leisure home sector comes together for what feels less like an exhibition and more like a pulse check on the industry. The World of Park & Leisure Homes Show returns to Stoneleigh Park this June, bringing with it the innovation, energy, and momentum driving one of the UK’s most resilient leisure markets.

What sets the Show apart is its scale and purpose. It remains the only UK event where visitors can walk through a complete “village” of homes - from high end luxury lodges and residential park homes to compact and quirky leisure units - all fully furnished and presented in a real world setting.

It’s an experience that allows buyers, operators, and developers to see the detail, quality, and liveability of each model in a way no brochure or digital tour can replicate. The Show has also become a key launch platform for manufacturers. Many choose Stoneleigh as the moment to unveil brand new models, and this year is shaping up to be no exception.

A MUST-VISIT event for park owners, developers, and industry professionals

Several manufacturers are preparing exclusive designs specifically for the event, offering visitors a first look at the latest thinking in layout, materials, sustainability, and lifestyle led design. For park owners, operators, developers, and prospective buyers, this creates a rare opportunity to compare homes side by side and engage directly with manufacturers on specification, customisation, and future plans.

Beyond the homes themselves, the Show reflects the wider ecosystem shaping modern parks. From decking, landscaping, and outdoor living solutions to technology, finance, and sustainability services, the exhibitor line up mirrors the evolving needs of parks focused on enhancing guest experience and long term value.

With free entry and parking, it remains accessible while delivering a high quality, business focused environment. For those shaping the future of holiday and residential living, this is where ideas turn into action.
