*** NEW THIS YEAR***
BARBECUE HIRE
If you are visiting us this season why not take the stress out of
bringing your own bbq from home or buying disposable ones and hire one
instead! Whether you are staying in a tent, caravan or in one of our
self-catering cottages or lodges you can have a bbq delivered to your door for
you to use. We also stock a good selection of high quality bbq meats
sourced from local butchers in our shop, providing everything you need to enjoy
a bbq with family and friends during your holiday. The price for hire
is just £10 for your entire stay, and includes the BBQ, cooking utensils and a
1.5kg bag of instant light charcoal. More coal is then available to
buy in our well-stocked on-site shop. If you wish to book your bbq hire in
advance or you have any further questions please contact us on 01493 367800 or

THE CLIPPESBY BEER FESTIVALS
The Autumn Beer Festivals, a popular and regular event at Clippesby, will
be held over the weekends of 13th to 15th and 20th to 22nd September
this year. Based in a marquee in the walled garden, and with local bands ‘One
Hand Clapping’ and ‘Hard Rain’ again booked to entertain you on Saturday each
weekend, this event has developed its own unique relaxed and family friendly
atmosphere. For more information take a look at our website

HALLOWEEN – THE CLIPPESBY EXPERIENCE
For the past few years, during the October half term, parts of the park
have been taken over by mysterious creatures roaming through the woods.
The Muskett Arms has sprouted trees and undergrowth inside and all manner
of scary happenings go on! Dare you stay and join our very own Protector
and his team as they venture out on Halloween itself to investigate and
guard the park and its guests from whatever is out there? Pitches available and
booking now, with the Halloween Walk taking place on Thursday 31st
October and the Spooky Monster Mash Disco on Friday 1st November.
Call or email now to book – limited availability.
