Welcome back to Silver Bay, what a year it has been! Now it’s time to relax, unwind and breathe in that fresh Anglesey air. Did you know that Silver Bay offers relaxation for the whole family? While the adults are enjoying a rejuvenating trip to the spa, the children can have fun with our Busy Bayers Children’s Activities. This offers a wide range of entertainment for the little ones during the school holidays from indoor creativity to outdoor adventures, there’s something for every child! 

If you’re looking for a more buzzing activity, look no further than “Meet the Bees”. Yes, the bees are back from their sheltered winter quarters and are raring to get back the flowers at Silver Bay to produce that delicious organic honey. Make sure you come along to one of the “Meet the Bees” activities to find out how they’re doing! 

Wondering what you can expect from “Meet the Bees”? A trip to the Bee Hotel is a guaranteed unique and unbeelievable experience. You can expect to be provided with specialist beekeeping protection, gain knowledge from expert beekeeper Johnathan Garratt and have the opportunity to get up close and personal with those furry, little friends. On those extra sunny days you can keep an eye for those honeybees – these bees will be working extra hard to collect resources for the colony. Pro-tip: stand close to the brightest flowers and you’ll see the bees collecting the sweet nectar. 

While lockdown took over the world, there has been no rest for the beekeepers who have been working extra hard to make sure that the colony has been kept safe. Find out more information from beekeeper Johnathan about what you can do to help protect the bees.

The “Meet the Bees” sessions are extremely popular with the Busy Bayers. To learn more about Children’s activities and Busy Bayers click here.

Easter is a wonderful time of year at Silver Bay, and although this year we may have to do things a little differently, we’ve worked hard to ensure you can still celebrate the holiday with lots of fun activities to keep the whole family occupied. It is important now more than ever that we come together and maintain the strong community that we pride ourselves on at Silver Bay, and continue to make a lifetime of treasured memories. Keep reading to see all of the fun activities we will be bringing you over the next 2 weeks! 

 

Virtual Easter Egg Hunt  

Every year we put on a fun Easter Egg Hunt around the holiday park, it’s an activity that everybody looks forward to. We couldn’t go a year without it, so we’re going to be running a VIRTUAL Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday! The game is simple, we will be hiding eggs on multiple different pages of our website, and the aim is for you to find as many of the eggs as possible! We will provide a form for you to fill out with links to the pages where you have found the eggs. Find them all to be named a Busy Bayer champion! 

Egg Decorating Competition 

Arts and crafts is a fun and popular activity amongst our Busy Bayers, and we want to ensure we continue to provide these activities! We are going to be holding an egg decorating competition, a chance for you to get creative with your family and show off your decorating skills. To take part in this activity, you will need a hard boiled egg and any materials of your choice to decorate it (the more creative the better!). We will be announcing this on our Facebook later in the week so you can share your creations in the comments of the post. We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

A Lifetime of Treasured Memories 

Silver Bay is all about treasured memories, from bbq’s at the beach to parties at The Deckhouse. We’re encouraging all owners, past and present, to share their favourite memories and photos from over the years. We are going to be creating a memory wall on Facebook with all of the photos that have been sent to us, giving you the opportunity to look back at all of the fun times that have been had at Silver Bay. If you would like to send us some photos, please do so over on our Facebook. We can’t wait to see all of the old memories! 

Photo Challenge 

Another way in which we are encouraging our Busy Bayers to keep creative is with a fun photo challenge! Starting from next week (W/C 13th April), we will be posting some photo challenges for the children to get involved with. This will include things such as building structures out of any materials you can find and taking a photo of it to share with us. This is a fun and easy activity that is sure to keep the Busy Bayers, well, busy! Keep an eye out on our Facebook each day to see the new challenges, we will be sharing some of our favourites at the end of the week.

Christmas Holiday Activities

christmas holiday activities

Our Family Christmas Party was a great success and we still have some fantastic events coming up for the rest of the month.

Public Santa Event

We’re thrilled to announce that Santa is making another appearance at The Deck House and this time we’re opening it up to the public. Taking place on Sunday 15th December from 2pm to 5pm, each ticket includes a gift from Santa, a meal (hotdog/pizza with chips) and access to our new soft play area.

Santa is a very busy man at this time of year so booking is essential to make sure Santa has enough presents for everyone. Tickets for children are £5 and adults go free, but please make sure to book a ticket via our online booking system so we can keep track of numbers. Tickets are available to purchase until 1pm on Saturday 14th December and bookings are non-refundable. 

Our bar and restaurant will be open for food and drink and all the money raised from the event will be donated to Fundraising to buy Defibrillators for Anglesey Schools. Fundraising to buy Defibrillators for Anglesey Schools is a local fundraising group formed by mums. Their aim is to raise money in order to purchase a defibrillator for every school or nursery setting on Anglesey who do not already have one. A defibrillator is a potentially life saving piece of equipment and can increase the chance of survival of sudden cardiac arrest by up to 90% if treatment is provided within one minute. Having a unit on site makes our schools and nurseries a safer place, not only for the children, their teachers, assistants, and other school staff, but also for parents and grandparents dropping and collecting their children.

New Year’s Eve Party

You’re invited to welcome in 2020 with friends and family at The Deck House, starting at 5pm on Thursday 31st December. We’ll have live music from Uptown Beat followed by a disco until 1am.

  • Stand all seat cushions on end to allow air to circulate
  • Make sure all fixed ventilation is not obstructed and wardrobes and internal doors are left open
  • Check all windows and external doors are tightly closed, including skylights
  • Check you have securely locked your holiday home
  • Lodge owners may wish to leave their boilers on frost stat to prevent frost damage
  • Caravan owners may wish to drain their water system to prevent frost damage to pipes. We offer a drain down service to all caravan owners at Silver Bay so if you require a drain down, please contact Owner Services on 01407 860860 or reception@bulmerleisure.co.uk (this may be compulsory with some insurance policies – make sure to check your caravan insurance requirements).

Dogs at Silver Bay

february half term

We pride ourselves on keeping the park looking exceptional so please make sure to clean up after your dog; dog waste bins are provided throughout the park for your convenience. We also request that dogs are kept on a lead at all times; should you wish to let your dog run free you can do this once you reach the beach. We also welcome dogs on the sun deck at the Deck House where we have fresh water and treats available.

 

We look forward to seeing you all in the half term!
