With the recent resurgence in holiday parks, this years’ Holiday Park & Resort Show will see over 6000 visitors descend upon Birmingham NEC to find out about the latest innovations within the holiday park and resort industry. Trent Furniture will return again this year and would love to meet as many of you as possible and showcase our holiday park furniture.
The boom in British holiday parks
The boom in British holiday park attendance has been helped by revitalised and modern accommodation, attracting a younger audience to what has stereotypically been an older fashioned holiday destination. Large TV’s, comfortable sofas and relaxing beds are now staples in lodges, static caravans and chalets.

Another key feature in holiday parks resurgence is the higher calibre of in park entertainment. Recent summer tours of holiday parks have included arena filling Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity completing an exclusive live show as well as teaching visitors how to dance.
What was once a looked down upon entertainment scene is now able to pull some of the biggest names within the industry. Children friendly parks like Haven and Butlins continue to pull in the best names in children’s entertainment with Dick and Dom, Shaun the Shee p and
Fireman Sam performing throughout the summer.
Holiday park event tips
Event rooms can be populated with a wealth of stacking chair options available from Trent Furniture. Stacking chairs allow for easy storage and re-arranging capabilities, perfect for events that required central stages like wrestling, boxing and concerts. Our Harrow chair has proved popular with thousands sold to big UK holiday parks over Trent’s history. Folding and stacking tables are also ideal
for main event halls and exhibitions, versatility is provided thanks to their capabilities to be reduced in size and easily stacked for safe storage.
Furnishing holiday parks
Lodges and static caravans require comfortable and sophisticated furniture to relax guests after their busy days enjoying the holiday park facilities and entertainment. Luxurious leather sofas add class to an environment, as well as warmth and cosiness. Again, fold up tables work superbly within this format, allowing space to be utilised as effectively as possible. Though for roomy accommodation like chalets, solid wooden dining tables can be used as a centre piece to a traditional dining room.
Though accommodation furniture isn’t the only area holiday parks have approached us for; Trent Furniture has also sold a wealth of restaurant furniture to parks all over the United Kingdom.
Setting the right theme at holiday parks
Whether that’s to chain restaurants housed within parks, at companies like Center Parcs and Haven, or unbranded eateries at places like Butlins. Chains follow their standard looks and guidelines whilst unbranded restaurants can mould their own image and design. Trent’s wide range of restaurant tables and chairs allow for all looks and themes, with our experienced team having provided furniture to the holiday park and restaurant industries for years.
Getting the most with outdoor furniture
In the rare sunny days during our unpredictable British summers, comfortable outdoor furniture can be a true asset for holiday parks and hotels. Allowing visitors to enjoy the sunlight whilst eating their lunch or enjoying a deserved sit down, outdoor furniture can enhance coffee shops and can add popular beer gardens to pubs.
Trent’s designs have been design tested by the Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) to ensure our chairs are fit for commercial use. This puts customers’ minds at ease, with our outdoor furniture offering longevity despite the unpredictable weather conditions they may encounter.
Holidaying in the UK
With an abundance of holiday home options throughout the nation, holiday goers are sticking to our own shores rather than fleeing abroad. They can be a perfect way to explore the country whilst enjoying similar atmosphere’s to that of hotels abroad. Locations are populated beachside all across the coast, with central offerings embracing forestry and breath-taking scenery of the UK countryside.
With the recent boom in the industry and Brexit currently weakening the pound against foreign currency, more British residents are expected to look closer to home for their next holiday. Making now the perfect time to invest in renovation and redecoration for holiday parks, to attract what may have been previously disinterested customers.
