Cornwall - Par Sands Owners Feature
Not making the most of your holiday home?
W
e know that there are times when you can’t always visit your holiday home as frequent
as you’d like so why not come and ask us about our trusted subletting scheme. Vicky works hard to bring in holiday makers to our fantastic park and we can only do this with your help. It might be that you’d like another family to make the most of your holiday home over the winter months to keep it warm, or you’d like the extra income to cover some of your running costs.
If this is something that you are interested in, please come and speak to us at reception.
Local Features Charlestown Regatta Week Saturday 30th July – Friday 5th August
What’s it all about? A week of events including water sports, games and entertainment, raising funds to benefit the people of the village of Charlestown.
What happens? Charlestown is one of Cornwall’s most photogenic villages due to its magnificently authentic Georgian harbour which has been the backdrop to many films and TV series. The weeklong event includes events such as the fun triathlon, raft races, donkey derby, live music and colourful carnival.
How can you take part? Located on the south coast near St Austell, Charlestown provides a wonderful location for the
varied events. The week kicks off with the exciting triathlon which involves teams of three in a 200m swim, 4 mile cycle and 2 mile run. In the afternoon there’s water golf, a hotly contested raft race and even a fun knobbly knees contest. During the week you can watch the carnival led by two local brass bands followed by a traditional flora dance through the streets of the village, enjoy a proms concert and to round off the week dance the night away at the Regatta Rocks live music event.
Did you know? Charlestown’s authentic Georgian harbour and resident fleet of magnificent sailing ships have taken starring roles in over 25 TV series and films such as Dr Who, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and The Eagle Has Landed.
