We’re making an effort to be more environmentally friendly

19th August 2019

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.

Can O Water

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.

Hugo Swires World of Country Life English Tourism Week

English Tourism Week 2019

7th April 2019

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.

Primary Times Readers Star Awards 2018

World of Country Life Scoops Reader Star Award

22nd November 2018

🏆 We are very pleased to announce the World of Country Life has scooped the Runner Up Spot in the Favourite Family Attraction Category in the prestigious Primary Times Reader Star Awards 2018! 🏆

 

Once again, the interest in the Primary Times Reader Star Awards has grown at an unprecedented rate.  This year saw the greatest ever response to the Primary Times online survey where readers voted for their favourite local family friendly places and people.

 

Parents of children aged 4 to 11 years were informed of the survey in Primary Times.

 

Readers were quizzed over their favourite family attractions – places that they can visit for a full day out and for a half day out; indoor play centre; outdoor play centre; party venue/entertainer; free local family event; local fair, show or festival; best value of money attraction and the readers also chose an overall winner.

 

This year, the highly desired Family Attraction award was split into two categories to accommodate the places where people like to spend their time for a full day out and for a half day out.

 

This year, the runner up place in the prestigious Family Attraction (Full Day Out) category has been awarded jointly to World of Country Life and Pennywell Farm.

 

These enormously popular attractions have clearly made a strong, favourable impression on the local community, with their first-class all-weather facilities and wide variety of events.

 

Park Manager James Turner said “We are so proud to have won this award especially as it is voted for by families who have visited the park.  The whole team here work hard to ensure it’s a fun place for all ages and to win in our 40th Anniversary year makes it extra special”

 

Linda Edwards, Publishing Editor at Primary Times said: “We are so grateful to our readers for their valued contribution to our Reader Star Awards.  The results are incredibly insightful which allows us to take a glimpse into the minds of local people, discovering what the children enjoy most.  We would like to applaud all the individual winners and runners-up of each category and congratulate them on their success”.

Thank you to everyone who voted for us, what a year our 40th anniversary has been!
