Golden Cap Holiday Park: Protecting Vital Community Services

Golden Cap Holiday Park has shown just how powerful a holiday park can be in sustaining rural life. With a major £250,000 investment, the park purchased the village Spar and Post Office, ensuring these essential services remain open for local residents, holiday caravan owners and visitors. At a time when many rural amenities are under threat, this action has safeguarded two crucial lifelines for the community.

Working hand-in-hand with local people, Golden Cap also helped to install a defibrillator outside the Post Office and now takes full responsibility for its upkeep. It’s a practical and potentially life-saving contribution that reinforces the park’s commitment to the wellbeing of the wider community.

Golden Cap is a shining example of how holiday parks can act as stewards of rural life, protecting local services, supporting community safety, and ensuring vital amenities continue to serve future generations.
