Sensory Play at Riverside Holiday Village

September 7, 2024

Brand New Sensory Play Equipment to be installed this Autumn at our Family Holiday Park

Our Somerset Holiday Park is set for a new addition this Autumn as we await delivery of a fantastic selection of sensory play equipment.

Sensory play is a fantastic way of getting children to learn and have fun through playground equipment that stimulates their senses, and is particularly rewarding for autistic children.


New Sensory Play at Riverside Holiday Village

We hope that these additions will prove popular with visitors and have selected musical and tactile play items to aid with intellectual, social and emotional development, sensory stimulation, self-expression and memory skills. These items include a Conga Drum, Finger Tracing Panel, Timber Xylophone and Tactile Panels.

Our new play equipment will be situated on the rear field and will be thoughtfully scattered throughout our emerging Meadow Walk for children and families to enjoy away from the hustle and bustle as they explore their outdoor surroundings.

Visitors should also look for our new Composter Wormery! Designed to give children the opportunity to learn about recycling and nature, our timber wormery has a great veiwing window and is designed to be accessible for wheelchair users.


As a company, we take our 'green' responsibilites seriously (as of November 2023, all food waste from the Kingfisher Club at Riverside Holday Village has been separated at source and removed by a licensed waste contractor who take it to a local, state of the art anaerobic digestion plant where it is processed), and we hope that our Wormery will start conversations about our wider Green Goals.

On another sunny morning this April, volunteers from Riverside Holiday Village, Edithmead Leisure and Park Homes, Fairways Holiday Park and New House Farm headed out on our third 2-mile 'litter pick' along Bridgwater Road in Weston-super-Mare. We managed to collect 14 sacks of litter, plus several broken road signs and a damaged car tyre! As usual, energy drink cans were by far the biggest offender, closely followed by discarded alcohol bottles and fast food takeaway wrappers. We even found a discarded wet floor sign! All waste was collected by our waste management partner, MJ Church. 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. We would like to say a massive 'thank you' to all of our volunteers - we're planning another 'clean' this September - please keep a lookout for more updates about future events!
