Parkdean Resorts has announced a series of star-studded weekends at selected holiday parks in England and Wales, giving music lovers the chance to relive past decades with non-stop hits and activities throughout November. The Celebrity Weekenders will welcome stars from the likes of Steps, Atomic Kitten, JLS and Bucks Fizz, with breaks priced from £159.
Celebrity Weekenders line-up
Alongside the music, guests can enjoy bottomless brunches, bingo, movie nights and fancy dress competitions at selected locations. The parks also offer amusement arcades, arts and crafts, high ropes courses, adventure golf and bungee trampolines. Parkdean Resorts notes that while children are welcome, entertainment for younger guests will be limited, making these breaks best suited to adults.
There are eight Celebrity Weekender breaks taking place this November across five Parkdean Resorts holiday parks.
