Sites in Bloom Awards

Introduced in 2003 by Caravan Club Life Member, the late Alan Payne OBE, the Sites in Bloom Awards recognise the creative and horticultural skills of our site staff and all the volunteers.

These wonderful displays are evaluated using criteria as such layout and creative use of space, variety, innovation, flair and colour coordination, with particular attention being paid to economy and low maintenance. The geographical location of the site is also taken into account by the judges and the fact that plant species are chosen to suit the local environment.

We want to thank every site that entered and applaud all the time and resources that has contributed to achieve these beautiful displays to ensure a colourful welcome to all our guests.
