Holiday park set for 'most significant investment ever'

PLANS COULD LEAD TO A BRAND NEW ENTERTAINMENT AREA

AN East Yorkshire holiday park is set for its biggest ever redevelopment with a seaside festival-themed entertainment area, new plans reveal.

Unity Holidays acquired Skirlington Coast Yorkshire last year, and the company has already made many improvements.

Since last year the park has unveiled new dining and leisure facilities, a new pavilion theatre as well as a 150-seat 'flexi-pub and restaurant in April. The five-year plan to revitalise the wider site also includes enhancements for tourers and additional caravans for holidaymakers.

Now Legacy Leisure Group - the parent firm of Unity Holidays and owners of the resort - have submitted plans to East Riding of Yorkshire Council which could lead to a brand new entertainment area being created at the park, which is set between Hornsea and Bridlington.

The new leisure plans include a new food and drinks pavilion; a promenade feature walkway; a new lido including an outdoor pool; a splash pad with a tots pool and cabanas; a new car park; garden seating and sunbathing areas, and a new terrace area with a feature piazza area. Plans show that the site's existing Coastal Tavern is also set to be refurbished, creating an extension to the theatre space.
