HOLIDAYMAKERS and locals will soon be able to enjoy a new outdoor lido at a Somerset resort – with a trampoline park, landscaped gardens and a dog agility park set to follow as part of a £10 million package of improvements.

Unity Beach Holiday Park, in Brean, is set to open refurbished indoor pool facilities soon, including an updated soft play area, changing rooms, the Wave Café and gym, as well as a new-look reception area with dedicated buggy park.

And the company has also secured planning permission for the next stage of the ambitious improvements project, with work set to begin in the coming weeks.

At the pool, the updated unisex changing rooms include larger family cubicles — with space for up to four — alongside new vanity units with free hairdryers, baby changing stations and 240 new poolside lockers.

A newly-installed lift and pool hoist, as well as a refreshed accessible changing area, will make the facilities more welcoming for all, the company said.

Also inside, the 25-metre pool hall has been fully refurbished, including the addition of poolside showers, with a new indoor Splash Pad soon to replace the baby pool.

Meanwhile, the next phase of development will see the creation of a new lido area with an outdoor pool, alongside private cabanas and an outdoor dining experience, Unity said, with the facility set to open in July – just in time for the school holidays.

Further plans include a new trampoline park, bandstand, boardwalk, landscaped gardens and a dog agility area as well as an outdoor activity centre where visitors can take part in archery, axe throwing and rifle shooting.

“These are exciting times for our owners, our holidaymakers and the local community,” said Unity Beach Resort director, Jonny Green.

“Our improved pool facilities will help us sustain and grow participation in swimming lessons and recreational activity — not only for guests staying on the park, but also for the wider community across Somerset.

“Investing in facilities like these also supports local jobs and training, while helping to attract more visitors to the Somerset coast — benefiting the wider local economy.”
