TV stars Danny and Dani Dyer are set to boost the holiday park sector with a new show on Sky TV. The celebrity father-daughter duo will be featured as they try their hand at running their own Dyers’ Caravan Park. The new series, which begins on February 24, has been aided by leading holiday homes manufacturer Willerby and distributor Southern Counties Leisure. The two companies took part in a high-profile publicity event in central London, providing a luxury Willerby holiday home as the venue for media interviews in support of the new Sky original series.

Acknowledged as the longest-established caravan manufacturer, Willerby is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2026, with the landmark year underlining its status as a pioneer...

The statement has come from the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA) which has repeated its warning that the government’s proposed tourism levy would disproportionately affect people who are already carefully budgeting. It comes in the last few days of the government’s consultation on the plan. If approved, regional mayors would have the power to impose tourism levies. With tourism taxes common in Europe, many believe the idea could boost resources for local infrastructure in areas with high tourism and mitigate the extra costs of hosting large volumes of people from outside of the local area. A £1 a night room tax in Manchester raised £2.8m in its first year. But Debbie Walker, director-general of HARPA, said: “This so-called tourism levy is, in reality, a holiday tax on British families, hitting both adults and children. “For many families trying to cope with the cost of living crisis, a UK holiday is one of the few chances they have all year to switch off and spend time...
