Nick & Sue Parkes look forward to welcoming you to this lovely part of Lancashire. You can just stay a few nights or stay all 9 nights to take advantage of travelling further afield in the area. There are still some pitches available with ELECTRIC which is optional.

The club have held rallies here before and have always been very popular.

So please contact Nick & Sue if you have any questions and get your booking to them asap. It’s past the final booking date but they would love to have you join them.
