Many UK holiday parks promise evening entertainment. A singer on stage, a quiz, maybe a disco if you’re lucky. At Welcome Family in Dawlish Warren, that’s just the warm-up!
Step inside The Starlight Club on any evening of your holiday and the difference is clear. Full-scale, West-End-style productions with big storylines, sparking costumes and seriously impressive vocals. All just a short stroll from your caravan, lodge or bungalow.
Here you can expect a proper night out with lights, sound and staging that you’d expect to find in a theatre or on a cruise ship… not tucked away on a Devon holiday park.
As noted by our guest, Julie, ‘The entertainment was by far the best I have ever seen.’
Meet Mark Price and the Showteam
The creative force behind our incredible entertainment is Mark Price and his resident Showteam. They spend months planning and perfecting each new season, from choosing the music and storylines through to refining the choreography and harmonies. Every detail is meticulously created to give guests that wow factor.
As guest, Neive B. stated:
‘Mark and the team delivered another fabulous year with the shows, last year my husband and I went on two cruises.
The shows are better at the Welcome than on a P&O or a Celebrity cruise (I paid over £7000 for one cruise the shows were nowhere near as good) Yet again they knocked it out of the park!’
A Week of West-End-Style Nights
Whenever you stay at Welcome Family, you’re assured of a full programme of nightly entertainment. Across the week, our varied entertainment schedule features big musical journeys, high-energy pop shows and nostalgia-packed nights that get the whole family singing along. So there’s always something to look forward to after a day at the beach or in the pools.
One evening, you could be clapping along to rock anthems and power ballads, other nights may transport you through the decades with era-defining music. Every show appeals to mixed-age audiences, so grandparents, teens and toddlers can make magical memories together.
‘As for the entertainment, it’s got to be good when a 19-yr old boy sat and watched the whole show!’ says Steven C.
Behind the Curtain: Rehearsals and Production
When the curtain goes up, the magic on stage may look easy. But it’s powered by some serious effort and organisation behind the scenes. Complex routines are polished in the rehearsal room. Lighting cues are fine-tuned. And costume changes perfected in a matter of seconds. We obsess over every little detail so that, by the time the doors open, everything feels smooth and seamless for you.
This is where Welcome Family stands out from many holiday parks, where nightly entertainment is a singer with a backing track and a few party dances. We lovingly create shows with clever staging, themed sets and performers who love what they do. Shows that exceed expectations, year after year.
Fun for All the Family
Our nightly shows are only part of the overall entertainment schedule. Early evening is just for the little ones. Kids’ time, talent contests, the silly adventures of Mr Poodlebum, and mini discos helps them burn off the last of their energy, with the Showteam quickly becoming their holiday heroes.
As the night goes on, adult bingo, kids’ zone fun and games and fancy-dress competitions offer something for everyone as we build towards the main evening production. Then you can boogie the night away at the disco. And if you ever need a break, just slip away to try your hand at the arcade games or enjoy a little refreshment at the bar and diner.
Take Your Seat at The Starlight Club
The Starlight Club at Welcome Family offers the very best in family entertainment. Fully air-conditioned for 2026, there’s a big stage with plenty of seating along with a fun-packed kids’ zone, arcade games and adult gaming machines, a well-stocked bar and the Starlight Diner serving tasty treats during club hours.
Best of all, club membership is included when you book direct, so you can pop in as often as you wish, whether you want to stay for the whole evening or just catch a couple of numbers before getting an early night.
From the moment the curtain rises on your first evening to the final bows of your holiday, join Mark Price and the Showteam for dazzling shows of fun and laughter in the Welcome Family’s Starlight Club. We can’t wait to entertain you!
