Summer Holidays
Cober's summer holidays are what summer holidays are all about. A time to meet up with friends, for families to get together, and for everyone to make new friends, and with an optional entertainment programme for both outdoors and indoors, it doesn't matter too much if it rains.
During the day there can be croquet, bowls, skittles or putting, perhaps a half day coach outing or a guided walk in this beautiful countryside.
For the youngsters there's tennis and volleyball, cricket and rounders, and the little ones can spend busy and happy afternoons in the playgroup.
Almost every evening will find something going on. A dance, sometimes country dancing or a disco, an in house concert, or a visit to a theatre. Whist drives, quizzes, beetle drives and bingo - they can all be found here.
Of course, there's no obligation to join in the entertainment, and this excellent location offers plenty of scope to do your own thing in the seaside towns and the moors and dales of the National Park.
