Revamped Sandford Holiday Park is open
POSTED 03 May 2006 . BY
Weststar Holidays group has announced that Sandford Holiday Park in Holton Heath, Dorset, is now open following a £4m revamp.

A new 5,000sq m (54,000sq ft) Star Plaza entertainment complex comprises a 600-seat theatre and two dancefloors, as well as three bars and three restaurants.

Midas Construction developed the holiday park together with architect Andrew Thomas of AHT Design and surveyor Gary Slade.

Weststar Holidays anticipate that the investment will lengthen the existing tourist season and increase the annual average occupancy rate of 80 per cent by 10–15 per cent.

Weststar and Midas are now refurbishing Higworth Caravan Park on Hayling Island in time for the August season. Details: www.weststarholidays.co.uk
