Holgates Holiday Parks, a family-owned business with 10 holiday parks around Morecambe Bay, South Cumbria and the Ribble Valley, is proud to announce a record-breaking donation of £10,000 evenly split between Pancreatic Cancer UK and St John's Hospice. This generous contribution comes as a result of the successful Charity Ceilidh Weekend, which took place between 23rd and 25th June following a 4-year hiatus.

Across the weekend’s events, Holgates Holiday Parks raised an impressive total of £7,632.34. This remarkable achievement was made possible thanks to the incredible support of our loyal customers, dedicated holiday home owners, and generous suppliers. Their enthusiasm and willingness to contribute to these worthy causes is truly inspiring.

In addition to the funds raised by our valued community, Michael Holgate, the Managing Director of Holgates Holiday Parks, made a personal donation of £2,367.66. Long standing causes that have been supported by the family-owned business, this year’s event raises our overall fundraiser totals to £21,332 for Pancreatic Cancer UK and £7,300 for St John’s Hospice.

Pancreatic Cancer UK is a cause very close to the Holgate family and has been their principal charity since 2015. St John’s Hospice were also selected as a recipient due to the incredible work they do for the local community, providing palliative care and ongoing support to families.

Holgates Holiday Parks would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who played a part in making the Charity Ceilidh Weekend a resounding success.
