Wookey Hole is a popular tourist attraction with over 20 attractions, including the famous caves, a 4D cinema, circus shows and a mirror maze. The business also runs a 58 bed hotel and 10 lodges at its Wookey Hole site. The deal marks the first time Wookey Hole Ltd has purchased a holiday park.
Daniel Medley, managing director of Wookey Hole Ltd said: “When Bucklegrove Holiday Park came onto the market we saw immediately its strategic potential for our business. The holiday park sector is really buoyant and Bucklegrove’s stunning views across Somerset and great facilities attract thousands of visitors each year. We plan to build on this success and develop the site even further over the coming months.”
David Culshaw, partner in the corporate team at Stephens Scown led on the deal, with partners Toby Pool advising on property aspects, Laura McFadyen on employment law and Kirstie Apps on parks law.
Stephens Scown’s David Culshaw said: “This is a great opportunity for Wookey Hole to expand its business. The holiday park is a natural fit with the attraction, hotel and lodges that the business currently operates.”
