W I N 🎃 W I N 🎃 W I N a family annual pass.

We had such a great response to our summer holiday photo competition, we’ve decided to do it again! To celebrate coming to the end of another fantastic season, we’ll be running a Halloween Fancy Dress Photo Competition with the chance for one lucky winner to bag a Family Annual Pass!

Over the October half term holidays (Saturday 19 – Sunday 3 Nov) we are looking for fantastic photographs of kids, adults, families and friends at World Of Country Life in Halloween (or other) fancy dress having fun with us. 

If you think you have a great photo to share, simply post it on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/worldofcountrylife with the hashtag #WOCLHalfTermFun

Your photo could be the kids being funny, one of the animals photo bombing your family photo, a special moment at the park or something a little obscure! It’s up to you, as long at it is taken over the half term holidays (note we have a two week half term this year to accommodate the different holiday dates across the country) and in halloween or other fancy dress. We’ll pick 6 of our favourite photos and open them up for a vote on Facebook to pick the winner. 

All entries must be posted on our Facebook page by 5pm on Sunday 3rd November. 6 of our favourite photos will be posted on our FB page, the photo with the most likes will win a family annual pass!
 

Good luck and have fun on the park!

In a bid to be more environmentally friendly we have replaced all our takeaway containers, coffee cups and cutlery with compostable alternatives – even the plastic lids and straws are made from vegetable products so they fully compostable. The product we are using is Vegware.

Vegware is made from plants not plastic and can be recycled with food waste (the mix of materials and food waste made it really difficult to recycle the products we had before).

Vegware products break down in less than 12 weeks in industrial composting and returns nutrients to the soil.

Not only are Vegware products made from recycled and renewable products, but they are also strong!

We’ve also introduced a re-usable water can too (plastic water bottles are the only single use plastic we have so this is a way to try to combat that).

CanO Water was created in response to the damaging impact that plastic bottles have on the environment. 

With approximately 8 million tonnes of plastic ending up in the ocean each year, CanO Water is an infinitely recyclable alternative to plastic bottles. Recycle your can and it will be back on the shelf in as little as 6 weeks. PLUS it is resealable – you can simply reseal the can and drink later. You can even refill your can and use again and again. 

We also sell reusable water bottles and coffee mugs too,  we’ve broken down the price of all our takeaway hot drinks so you can see the cost of the disposable cup – and you’ll save that cost every time you fill up with a reusable cup!

Here a little video from Vegware for more information.

Can you believe we are talking about Christmas already? Nope, neither can we, but we are just too excited about our Brick Angus prototype. This little fella would make the perfect stocking filler for any ‘Appy Angus fan, and he’s just £6.99. The play brick Angus’ are coming soon, but you can pre-order this limited edition, exclusive to World of Country Life Angus NOW by registering your interest at Reception or by calling 01395 274533. go on, what are you waiting for…. Christmas?

This week has been English Tourism Week (30 March – 7 April 2019), which as the name suggests, is an annual celebration of English tourism! Across England visitor attractions, destinations and accommodation providers have been celebrating the people, places and experiences that help make holidays in England so great.

To kick start the Spring season and celebrate English Tourism Week, we invited Hugo Swires MP into celebrate with us. From meeting ‘Appy Angus, to playing with the spring lambs and even taking a seat in Downton Abbey’s Daimler, we think he enjoyed getting away from Westminster!

Hugo Swires MP is pictured with Appy Angus, Park Manager James Turner and Marketing Manager Debbie Butler.
