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 have removed a number of the 'worst offending' single-use plastics from the Kingfisher Club and, this April, we supported a local plastic free initiative by organising our own Million Mile Clean.


Plastic takeaway cutlery has been replaced by sustainably sourced and biodegradable wooden alternatives, we are using compostable takeaway coffee cups and our takeaway burger boxes are made from rapidly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 Plastic carrier bags have also been replaced by brown paper takeaway food bags.


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!

This April, we completed our first Million Mile Clean, collecting 11 sacks of litter over 2 miles. And this September, we're doing it all over again, but this time, we're adding in an extra mile! Providing a clean and attractive destination for our visitors to enjoy not only benefits our business, it also positively impacts our local community and the wider environment. Which is why we have committed to join Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean for the second time. Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. It’s reported that more than 2 million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day at a cost of £1 billion to the taxpayer. So, we are asking visitors and the local community to get pro-active and join us at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare on Thursday 11th September from 10.00am - 1.00pm for an organised 3 mile ‘litter pick’ along Bridgwater Road (Uphill Beach - Hospital Roundabout - Hobbs Boat Inn). ‘Clean Kits’ will be provided; we’re just asking for 3 hours of your time to help clean up this public space.
