April 9, 2024

Our popular Riverside Holiday Village is a proud Plastic Free Champion

Located near the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, Riverside Holiday Village is thrilled to announce that we are now a Plastic Free Champion! 


Launched by Surfers Against Sewage, and supported by Cleaner Coastlines and Plastic Free Weston-super-Mare, the Plastic Free Communities campaign works to support businesses (like ourselves) who are committed to removing avoidable single-use plastics.


To achieve the Plastic Free Champion Award, a business needs to remove at least three single-use plastic items and show a commitment to tackling any others present in the business moving forwards - and that’s exactly what we have done! Visitors to the Kingfisher Club at Riverside Holiday Village will notice that we have replaced plastic takeaway boxes and cutlery with eco-friendly recyclable takeaway boxes and compostable wooden cutlery. Plastic coffee cups have been eliminated, and single-use plastic condiment sachets have been replaced with a refillable ‘pump-station’ with paper cups.


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.
