Calling all adventure-seeking families, friends, and couples! What feels like the longest winter ever is finally defrosting. The sun is beginning to poke through the clouds, and the UK is showing signs of summer! The days are growing longer, and West Stow Pods is ready to welcome you for your next unforgettable getaway. Nothing enhances the beauty of our green fields more than glowing mornings, sunlit afternoons in beer gardens, and warm, leisurely evenings around the BBQ. We know how challenging it can be to keep your children entertained during the school holidays. One moment, your schedule is packed with activities, and the next, you’re scrambling for ideas to keep everyone busy. That’s where we come in! Our glamping site offers the perfect solution to avoid those dull days. Plan your summer escape now and take advantage of our fantastic deal: stay 4 nights for the price of 3! It’s an ideal opportunity for a memorable family holiday. While you’re holidaying in our corner of the Suffolk countryside, there’s no shortage of activities to fill your days:

1. Explore Bury St Edmunds Farmers Market

Held on the second Sunday of every month, the Bury St Edmunds Farmers Market is a treat for the senses. Wander through the town centre, where you can pick up fresh local produce, handmade crafts, and delicious treats. Maybe even pick up some goodies for a picnic!

2. Go Ape at Thetford Forest

Looking for an activity the kids will  love? Head to Thetford Forest and experience the thrill of Go Ape. With tree-top courses, zip lines, archery, and mini golf, it’s the best way to let your little ones burn off some energy!

3. Enjoy the Great Outdoors

Our glamping site is surrounded by beautiful walks, gardens, and outdoor spaces. There’s plenty of room for children to jump, climb, run, and shout to their hearts’ content. Plus, after a day full of activities, we guarantee a quiet car ride back to your cosy pod and an early night for the little ones.After an action-packed day, there will be nothing better than relaxing outside your
pod or lodge, soaking up the warm summer evenings with a glass of something cold.
Let the children drift off to sleep while you enjoy a peaceful, child-free moment under
the trees.

For those evenings back at our glamping site – what’s a summer holiday without a good barbecue? Our megapods come with brick BBQs outside, and our lodges are equipped with mobile BBQs. Don’t forget to bring your coals and cooking equipment to enjoy some delicious grilled meals. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Burgers and Hotdogs: Always a hit with the whole family.
Foil Meals: Easy to prep and cook after a busy day exploring – throw in some chicken, veggies, and seasoning, wrap in foil and grill.
S’mores: Marshmallows toasted to gooey perfection, squashed between two chocolate digestive biscuits. (These are our recommendation – a definite must-try!)
