Look out for them during your next stay at Callow Top There was great excitement on Friday 20th August when we were visited by both BBC Radio Derby in the morning and the BBC East Midlands Today outside broadcast team in the afternoon. The local news teams were reporting on the big increase in people staying at home for their holidays instead of going abroad- ‘Staycations.’ Radio Derby also reported on the continued success of Callow Top and our award winning 12 months. A Practical Caravan Top 100 Site, Practical Motorhome Top 50 site, with a David Bellamy Gold Award and East Midlands Enjoy England Excellence Awards Caravan Park of the Year we’re definitely on a winning streak. Our guests can be assured that the facilities and service they receive during their stay are first class. Callow Top staff, headed by Adam Swindell, helped to co-ordinate the outside broadcast which was live on the 6.30pm edition of BBC East Midlands Today. Our site owner, Alan Palmer, and the Evans Family who were holidaying with us were both interviewed by Mike O’Sullivan. The Evans Family made a suprise debut appearance on the telly during their second stay with us this year! They told Mike O’Sullivan, the BBC East Midlands Today reporter, that they had decided to stay in the UK for their holidays because flying abroad with young children is just too much hassle.
