Caravan parks and retailers up and down the country are getting ready for the most talked about event of the year. Whether you’re planning to watch the Royal Wedding or take advantage of the extended bank holiday weekend with a trip away, there is no denying the convivial mood currently sweeping the nation!
Live Broadcast
In Shropshire, Salop Leisure will have big screen televisions broadcasting the Royal wedding on the opening day of their West Midlands Caravan & Motorhome Show.
“We want to make sure that our visitors get the best of both worlds by being able to attend the show without missing the Royal wedding,” said Salop Leisure’s marketing manager Scott Higgins. To join in the celebrations, and find out how to download free tickets to the ten-day show click here.
Flying the flag
Meanwhile, caravan lovers looking to celebrate the main event in Northamptonshire may be glad to learn that Billing Aquadrome caravan park has lifted its flag ban for one day only.
The caravan site, which is open 11 months a year, normally prohibits the flying of flags to avoid offending other campers, the Northampton Chronicle reports. However, with a tide of patriotism sweeping the site, the owners have decided to loosen their rules for this historic day.
Peter Angelides, business development manager at the park, said: “We will make allowances for the special day. We will also be putting up bunting to make the place look more festive.”
Whether you’re planning on laying out the bunting in preparation for Will and Kate’s big day, or looking to get away it all – let us know what you’ll be up to this bank holiday weekend in our forum topic here.
In the meantime, whether you’re a royalist or not, we thought this entertaining skit by the guys at T-mobile might amuse!
