The Halo team head to North Wales

Read Georgie’s account of our recent trip to Pennant Park North Wales, home to our client’s first holiday park and one of the UK’s best places to go for a luxurious escape in beautiful natural surroundings.

When our holiday park client, Wayfind Escapes, invited us to a weekend at Pennant Park, we did a little happy dance ‒ here was our chance to experience the stunning lodges and beautiful surroundings first-hand ‒ and see the brand we’ve been working on come to life!

Five of us (plus partners and kids!) made the five-hour drive to beautiful North Wales, rocking up as the sun dipped below the horizon. Following our visit last August, we knew there’d be huge improvements to the park ‒ they’ve invested £1m in new facilities, not to mention new on-park signage and guest welfare information from our brilliant team. Suffice to say the new branding looked absolutely stunning in the flesh!

On the right, one of the women, wearing a green coat and pink beanie, stands in a sandy dune area with a lighthouse and ocean in the background.

Despite thinking we’d need our waterproofs and wellies for the entirety of our trip, we woke up to frosty fields and the sun beaming into the lodges, it was simply idyllic! Armed with his new 4k drone, Nick took to the skies Saturday morning to get aerial footage of the park and surrounding area. We then headed to nearby Talacre Beach for a quick sea dip (on Jess’ part!) and sandcastles, followed by an obligatory beer and ice cream.

The rest of the day was spent enjoying the lodges in all their glory ‒ cards, sofa snuggles with the little ones and plenty of time in the hot tubs, to be precise! Adam had a swing at the golf course and we ended the evening with a Chinese takeaway and murder mystery board game. It turns out Hannah is quite the sleuth!

On the left, a woman wearing a beanie and a dark coat crouches down, hugging a young child in waterproof trousers and blue wellies on a wooden observation deck with a scenic backdrop of sand dunes and a clear blue sky. On the right, an aerial view of a holiday park shows modern lodges with dark roofs surrounded by trees and rolling green countryside under a partly cloudy sky.

After we filled our bellies with pancakes and fry-ups on Sunday morning, half the Halo squad made their way back to the English border via a local theme park, and we were surrounded by rollercoasters and candyfloss. The other half of the team had a bit of a calmer affair mooching around the local towns.

The man wears sunglasses, a beige jacket, and sneakers, while the woman wears a cozy cream coat, jeans, and a brown beanie. On the right, a close-up of two champagne glasses filled with bubbly, reflecting warm light, set on a glass table outside a wooden holiday lodge with a can and a bag in the background.

Despite the long journey back being filled with the sounds of ‘are we there yet?’, it’s safe to say it was so worth it! Seeing our client’s vision come to life means so much to us and being able to work on their marketing materials from a place of personal experience is a real privilege.

A split-image capturing two distinct outdoor adventures. On the left, a family walks along a vast sandy beach under a blue sky with scattered clouds. A lighthouse stands in the distance, and one child is perched on an adult's shoulders. On the right, a playful moment at a dinosaur-themed park where a man in a beanie and plaid jacket lifts a child toward the open jaws of a large dinosaur model. The man laughs while the child excitedly reaches out toward the teeth, surrounded by lush greenery.

Until next time (we will definitely be back) and don’t forget to look out for more footage from our fancy new drone!

On the left, a black sign reading ‘Oak Grove Luxury Lodges’ stands against a bright blue sky, surrounded by tall, green spiky plants and a stone wall. On the right, a young child in a black vest, grey pants, and bright blue wellington boots stands on a paved road with modern lodges in the background. The cloudy sky contrasts with the sunlit landscape, and several cars are parked along the road.
