Take a look at the pictures below and see how Aberconwy Resort & Spa has grown into the luxurious seaside Owners destination it is today. Starting life as a family run business in 1993, Aberconwy Resort & Spa grew to one of the most popular and luxurious holiday home owner’s destinations in North Wales. Aberconwy joined the Darwin Escapes family in 2015, and we have managed to keep the family values while continuing to grow the facilities on park and being able to offer breathtakingly beautiful accommodation to our owners (check out The Lookout Lodge to see what I’m talking about).

We’ve recently trawled through the archives and found the below images from the building process of the main complex to aerial shots of what the resort looked like in the early 1990’s (there’s no early 90’s fashion in the photos though, disappointing I know).

Enjoy a Harry Potter Weekend in Beautiful York. The beautiful walled city of York boasts a number of world famous attractions. These include historic buildings such as York Minster, St. Mary’s Abbey, the beautiful city walls and a range of World Class museums & exhibitions that provide hours of entertainment & intrigue for all of the family. More recently however, York has started to become a major attraction for Harry Potter fans (AKA “Potterheads”) from around the world. York has embraced the Harry Potter theme that is growing amongst the city – which all seems to have begun thanks to the iconic medieval street that can be found there – The Shambles. Read on to find out what other treats are in store for fans of the J.K. Rowling books…


experience diagon alley in York

Often referred to as “Harry Potter Street”; the Shambles is said to have been the inspiration for Diagon Alley – the iconic alley that appears in a number of the books & movies. Once packed with butchers and meathooks; the beautiful street has been preserved over the centuries; maintaining a range of historic features and its original character.
It appears that Harry Potter is having an increasingly strong influence upon the street, thanks no doubt to the power of the hordes of fans who visit the Shambles each year. The café at The Flax for example has reportedly developed a number of unique Harry Potter items on their mouth-watering menu – including a delicious ice cream!
The street is a must-visit for any true Potterheads, thanks not only to its uncanny resemblance to Diagon Valley; but for the 2 Harry Potter shops that currently reside there…

Enjoy The Wizard Walk of York, a magical walking tour that leaves from The Shambles and is heavily inspired by Harry Potter and the wizarding world!


harry potter gift shops

Boasting a range of amazing Harry Potter merchandise and gifts, The Shambles is becoming the go-to-place in the UK to satisfy all of your Harry Potter needs. The street currently has 2 shops dedicated to the book & movie series, with a third at the planning stage…

The Shop That Must Not Be Named

Located at the 30 The Shambles, York – The Shop That Must Not Be Named is a real treat for Harry Potter fans young and old. The shop sells everything a wizard could need, including cloaks, wands and official merchandise. Opened in May 2017, the staff have already developed a reputation for being extremely enthusiastic when it comes to anything Harry Potter related and equally helpful when it comes to choosing a trusty wand or an attractive wizard’s hat.

The World of Wizardry

Just a short stroll down the street is another treat for Harry Potter fans – The World of Wizardy. Brimming with more Harry Potter merchandise than you can shake a stick/wand at, the shop opened in late 2017 with hundreds of fans queuing to get inside and there was even a Harry Potter lookalike on hand for photographs! Stocking wands, mugs, scarves and everything in between, the shop is Harry Potter heaven.

The Boy Wizard

The third Harry Potter shop is due to open at numbers 22 and 23 on The Shambles according to planning documents. Two shops are being combined into one large Harry Potter merchandise store!


York train station

Shying away somewhat from the Harry Potter limelight, York Railway Station is an interesting place to visit for Potterheads. Set at King’s Cross station, the bridge that Harry and Hagrid walk over in The Philosopher’s Stone is actually the one found at York Railway station.

It might be best to visit the train station away from rush hour!


Enjoy a Harry Potter Weekend with a Stay at the KP Club in Pocklington.

Watch award-winning Blood Brothers in North Wales at the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre…

I absolutely love musicals, but somehow I had never seen Blood Brothers before. Despite people raving about it, I’d just never gotten around to it. In fact, I didn’t know even what it was about, but since its fantastic reputation preceded it, when I saw it was coming to Rhyl, I knew I had to get tickets!

Affectionately known as the ‘Standing Ovation Musical’ it had a lot of hype to live up to. So, did it meet the high expectations? Absolutely!


you need to get tickets to see blood brothers in rhyl

After wowing audiences in the West End, Bill Kenwright’s production of the Willy Russell classic is touring the UK in 2018 and I for one can say that you have to see it!

Belting out classic songs, delivering polished acting performances and exuding finesse with effortlessly precise dance routines, the company work superbly together to tell this captivating, funny, and sometimes gritty, tale.


musicals not for you?

If musicals aren’t really your thing, do not disregard this particular show. It’s not the same as all the others. It isn’t all jazz hands and sequins; its foot-tapping, soul-stirring brilliance, with a story that will both warm and break your heart.

The staging is fantastic, and Lyn Paul (of New Seekers fame) is phenomenal, heading a highly talented ensemble, who tell the story of twins separated at birth. Yes, there are lots of songs and plenty dancing, but I defy anyone to watch this and not thoroughly enjoy it!


world-class entertainment…in rhyl?

Oh yes, seaside favourite Rhyl is currently undergoing a 21st Century face-lift and the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre is one of the first to benefit, enjoying a fresh new look. They’ve got the balance just right, staying true to its roots in the theatre itself, but with a beautiful modern facade and fantastic bar.

If you only see one show in 2018, watch Blood Brothers at Rhyl Pavilion.
Grab a ticket yourself – Blood Brothers is showing until Saturday 24th March and tickets are available on the Rhyl Pavilion website or by calling the Box Office on 01745 330000.

things to see in the house of marbles

There’s also a huge number of captivating marble runs, including ‘Snooki 2000’ a massive construction which is located on the first floor and had me absolutely spellbound. Oh, and don’t miss the Glass Making section, where you can see the masters at work, creating the most wonderful marbles and gifts. Speaking of gifts, this place has so much on offer and reasonably priced too! Lots of choice for children and adults alike, I managed to pick up lots of gifts for family and friends (and myself of course!)

 


So, if you’re looking for weather–proof low-cost family fun, this is the place to go. They even have a café, offering drinks, snacks and meals (A pot of tea for 1 is £1.80 – not bad at all)

Panto season is upon us and this year Sleeping Beauty will take to the stage in Rhyl’s theatre…

Panto season is well underway and this year audiences can expect to see Rhyl Pavilion bring plenty of glitter and magic to the theatre stage as it welcomes some of the biggest soap stars and one of Wales’ own home-grown talents to take to the stage and bring that all-important Christmas Magic.

This year’s panto is the magical princess fairytale story, Sleeping Beauty. For those unsure of the storyline, it follows a beautiful princess in a land far away. She is cursed by a wicked fairy and is destined to spend her life as a Sleeping Beauty until she is awakened by her true love’s kiss.

The production promises to provide the perfect festive entertainment for the whole family, promising to bring plenty of laughter, sparkle and sequins. Jam packed with smash hit songs, stunning sets and outrageous costumes it has everything you would expect from a Christmas Pantomime.

Photo of the Sleeping Beauty promotional poster

The 2017 pantomime cast is headed by Vicky Entwistle, best known as Coronation Streeet’s Janice Batterby who plays the Bad Fairy Cararabosse. She will be joined on stage by Channel 5’s Milkshake presenter, Amy Thompson as Sleeping Beauty, Princess Briar Rose; Hollyoaks actress Sarah Jane Buckley, as the Good Fairy and the Queen of pantomime dames, Charles Burden, plays Nanny Glucose and last but by no means least, back by popular demand is Wales’ very own Sean Jones as Silly Billy, returning for his 6th consecutive pantomime at the Pavilion.

Last year was said to be a record breaking panto for Rhyl Pavilion and this year they’re hoping Sleeping Beauty will follow in those footsteps. The theatre are once again hosting a fun-filled pantomime in association with Martin Dodd of UK Productions.

Two local dance schools will also be making up the cast. The Gay Harris Dancers and The North Wales School of Dance will also be adding that extra sparkle to the performance.

As usual there will be plenty of time to shout, boo and hiss at the panto baddies, sing along to your favourite songs and don’t forget the costumes! Every year costumes play an important part of the Dame role and this year is no exception. There will be a brand new wardrobe for this production of Sleeping Beauty ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous! You have been warned!


Tickets are priced from just £9.50, so what are you waiting for? If you’re staying with us at Talacre Beach Holiday Home Park or at any of our other North Wales Holiday Parks during the festive season, take the family down to Rhyl Pavilion and get yourselves in the Christmas mood.

You can see Sleeping Beauty at the Rhyl Pavilion until Saturday, January 6. To book your tickets visit the Rhyl Pavilion website or phone their Box Office on 01745 330000.

A step back in time The Shambles is a street near the centre of the historic city of York. Winner of Google’s Most Picturesque Street Award and one of the most well preserved medieval attractions in the UK, the Shambles is certainly worth a visit this Christmas if you are staying at the KP Resort. The street is steeped in history and is frequently referred to in the literature of the middle ages; even mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. Once home to dozens of butcher’s shops & slaughterhouses, today the street maintains its original character and features a range of quirky shops including a Harry Potter store.


a medieval street full of character

Resembling Diagon Alley (another reason that Harry Potter fans visit from across the UK), the Shambles is a vibrant yet quaint attraction. The actual name of the area is thought to have originated from the Anglo-Saxon phrase “Fleshammels”. The fleshammels were the name given to the shelves upon which butchers would display their meats and other goods. There are still a number of old meathooks and butcher-table-fronts that give visitors an idea of the street’s history.

Also known simply as ‘Shambles’, the street is fantastic for photo opportunities, for a stroll through taking in the ambiance or for a browse of the local independent shops that reside there. You will also find a number of tea rooms, bakeries, jewelry stores and the Shambles Tavern is a great place stop-off and enjoy a local ale.


vibrant & bustling by day, spooky by night

It’s a great place to visit in the evenings as well as during the day. With a spooky feel thanks to the overhanging timber-framed buildings that date back hundreds of years and appear to almost meet and touch each other from either side of the street. In some sections; it is actually possible for people to stand with arms out-stretched and touch the buildings each side of the street. Ghost tours are popular all year round; with tales of classic York ghost stories entertaining tourists as they are guided through the Shambles and the surrounding area by their very own Victorian guide – complete with frock coat and top hat.


saint margaret clitherow

Look out for the home and shrine of Saint Margaret Clitherow. Throughout the 16th century, Catholics were persecuted by law in England. She was imprisoned a number of times; in 1577 for failing to attend church – she later gave birth to 3rd child whilst imprisoned in York Castle.

Saint Clitherow was arrested in 1586 for harbouring Catholic Priests, clergy vestments and holding Mass inside her house. She refused to plead; so that her children would avoid having to testify and as a result was sentenced to be crushed to death without trial. Due to her bravery and support of Catholicism, she was canonised (made a saint) in 1970.


stay at the KP Resort in Pocklington

Enjoy the best of both worlds with a stay at the stunning KP resort in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. Located just 15 miles outside of the vibrant York city centre, yet nestled in a tranquil location surrounded by wildlife and nature. Overlooking the beautiful hills of the Yorkshire Wolds, guests can enjoy a stay in one of the resort’s stunning lodges – complete with hot tub, or boutique hotel rooms.

Travelling into York is made easy by the regular local bus service and train station. For those preferring to travel by car, it takes around 30 minutes to reach the city centre from the resort. The bus and train service both take around 40 minutes and run on a regular basis. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
