Our popular Riverside Holiday Village is a proud 'Silver' Plastic Free Champion

We are thrilled to share that Riverside Holiday Village has been awarded the Silver Plastic Free Champion Award by Surfers Against Sewage!


Our 'Plastic Free Journey' began in October 2023, when we were first introduced to Cleaner Coastlines and Plastic Free Weston-super-Mare and we haven't looked back since!


In April 2024, Riverside was recognised as a Plastic Free Champion and over the last 13 months, we have been working towards achieving the silver award - we were proud to learn that Riverside is one of the first businesses in Somerset (and THE first in Weston-super-Mare) to progress from the entry level award to Silver. 


To achieve this award, we have removed a number of the 'worst offending' single-use plastics from the Kingfisher Club. Plastic takeaway cutlery has been replaced by sustainably sourced and biodegradable wooden alternatives, we are using compostable takeaway coffee cups and our takeaway burger boxes are made from rapidly renewable sugarcane pulp (a by product of the sugar refining industry) and other plant fibres. Plastic carrier bags have also been replaced by brown paper takeaway food bags.


But that's not all, this April, we supported a local plastic free initiative by organising our own Million Mile Clean. Volunteers from Riverside collected 11 sacks of litter over 2 miles.


Our business is reliant on visitors coming to enjoy everything that our seaside town has to offer and we are proud to be a part of the Plastic Free Community.


Congratulations to our amazing team, we appreciate all of your support!
