Monkton Wyld Holiday Park: Paws, Produce and Parish Pride

At Monkton Wyld Holiday Park, community spirit comes with a wagging tail. Each year, their beloved dog show gathers four-legged friends and their humans for a joyful event that also raises funds for Julia’s House and the parish church.

From raffles to coffee mornings and bake-sale parish fundraisers – every gathering brings neighbours closer together.

Local pride bleeds into the everyday too: the shop is brimming with fresh, nearby produce, every contractor is pulled from the local community, and guests are encouraged to explore regionally run cafés and attractions. Here’s a park that champions its community – one paw, one cake, one visit at a time.
