Thornley Leisure Parks Shine at Wales in Bloom 2025

At Thornley Leisure Parks, we have always believed that exceptional surroundings are more than just pretty—they reflect our commitment to quality, care, and community pride. That belief was richly rewarded in 2025 when our parks once again stood out in the Wales in Bloom awards.

What is Wales in Bloom — and why it matters

Wales in Bloom is part of the national “In Bloom” program, dedicated to elevating local environments through horticulture, sustainability, and community effort. It recognises excellence in gardens, parks, streetscapes, and green spaces across Wales. Winning or placing in these awards is a public stamp of approval—an external validation that our hard work truly shows.

For us, entering Wales in Bloom is not about trophies alone. It is about:

  • Commitment to excellence — We want every park to look fabulous, from entrance to pathways to planted borders.
  • Community pride — Our guests, owners, and staff all share in the pride of a beautifully maintained environment.
  • Raising standards — The judging process pushes us to keep improving, not resting on past successes.
  • Reputation and trust — Awards like Wales in Bloom help show prospective guests and owners that we invest in the little (and large) details.

 

Now, on to the highlights from this year’s awards…
