Company Directors, Sally and Sean Abrahams, were thrilled to attend Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal Charity Auction of more than 50 unique Gromit Unleashed 3 sculptures last week . . . and they didn't return empty handed!!


Hot on the heels of Aardman’s new film, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, the award-winning character sculpture trail (the fourth of its kind) has delighted fans throughout the summer, and now, Gromit Woody has found a new home here at West Country Parks!


Created in collaboration with Pixar and painted by Rachel Bennett, Helen James and Lily Goodwin, Gromit Woody embodies the beloved Toy Story character. A stunning tribute to adventure, imagination and the enduring bonds of friendship - we think that he's going to fit right in.


Visitors to our Somerset Holiday Parks will have to wait and see where Gromit Woody ends up!!

We are delighted to share that Riverside Holiday Village has been named the Holiday Park of the Year and Dog Friendly Business of the Year at the Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards 2026, held at T he Apex City of Bath Hotel in Somerset. These award categories recognise holiday parks, sites and villages that provide exceptional guest experiences across static vans, touring pitches and more with a wide range of facilities and entertainment, and providers of truly memorable experiences for dogs and their human companions. This year marks the second consecutive year that Riverside has won the coveted Holiday Park of the Year Gold Award. Nell Barrington, awards director at Services for Tourism Ltd, commented on the importance of the awards: “What I love most about these awards is that they give tourism businesses the recognition they deserve. So many of them work incredibly hard, often with little reward, and some are tiny teams or even just one person keeping everything going. Despite the challenges the sector continues to face, these businesses have shown excellence, innovation and resilience.” We would like to thank our visitors, supporters and all of our fantastic team for your support.
