Bowls Club site bids to provide competition for Norfolk caravan park

by Chris Jefferies
Caravan owners visiting Kings Lynn could soon be spoilt for choice, as a bowls club in the nearby village of Pentney is considering setting up a 50-pitch site for touring holidaymakers.
Pentney Bowls and Leisure Club is already a popular venue, which attracts around 200 people a week to its Saturday night country music event, including several camper van owners, Lynn News reports.
Now, the club has submitted an application to Breckland Council to develop an empty field at its site into a fully-fledged caravan park, complete with shower and toilet facilities and a log cabin style shop and office.
Such a move would mean added competition for nearby Pentney Park Camping and Caravanning Site, which offers several serviced pitches and holiday homes.
However, the new Bowls and Leisure Club site would only be open for half of the year, during the busier months of May to November, the local paper added.
Furthermore, families may remain loyal to Pentney Park, as it boasts an indoor and outdoor heated swimming pool, a gym and a sauna, whereas the Bowls and Leisure Club offers regular darts and bingo nights to entertain its guests.
