Folly Farm looks set to get a little bit more fun for caravanners and holidaymakers alike
An award winning Pembrokeshire attraction has submitted plans to develop a Holiday Village set to consist of 56 themed lodges, glamping facilities including teepees and yurts, and touring caravan facilities at a cost of £10milliom, it has been announced.
Should planning permission be granted, Folly Farm’s Holiday Village will be divided into three different themed areas, namely Fairground, Safari and Farm.
Plans submitted also include the regeneration of existing farm buildings to accommodate a café, games room and reception area, and it is thought that the redevelopment of the 11.03 hectare site will help to drive tourism to the Pembrokeshire area and help create an increase in employment within the region.
Should Golly Farm get the go-ahead to begin the refurbishment, it is thought work will begin in September this year.
Chris Ebsworth, director at Folly Farm said: “With the development of Folly Farm’s Holiday Village, our vision is to take the most successful and well-loved elements of the existing attraction and expand on them to offer a truly unique place to stay.
“At the moment, our plans will allow us to build 29 vintage showman wagons and shepherds huts, 27 timber lodges as well as space for 43 touring caravan pitches, and a range of safari, bell and circus tents.
“The proposed accommodation would also create new jobs within the Holiday Village and Adventure Park, generating additional direct and indirect spend within the local economy, both during the construction and operation periods.”
