An exciting series of special events will be held at Hollycombe in 2012.  New are a Military Vehicle weekend and the first ever Beer Festival to be held at Hollycombe.  All the usual favourites are there too, so there is much for families and enthusiasts to enjoy.  More events will be added as they are organised. See the 'Events' pages for full details.

Volunteers needed!

Heve you ever wondered what goes on at Hollycombe during the winter? Now's your chance as we always need more volunteers to help with the myriad jobs that need doing to get the rides and engines ready for the new season. You don't have to be skilled as there is something for everyone.  If you're good at gardening, there is always a long list of grounds maintenance and hedge cutting to be done, while if painting or carpentry are more your style, then – you've guessed it – there pently of that too!

Why not come along on a Saturday or Sunday and have a chat; we'll even give you a hot meal on a Sunday for £2.00.  Otherwise, email us at info@hollycombe.co.uk.
