If you’re after a holiday that’s “fit for a queen” this summer, then you can now book to staycation at a Buckingham Palace-themed caravan in the Yorkshire countryside.
It seems that HMRC will be welcoming the public for the first time as Parkdean Resorts have unveiled The Royal Caravan – an extra-wide opulent static caravan in Cayton Bay, Scarborough – that has been designed to look exactly like the Queen’s royal residence.
It allows you to “live like royalty” for the weekend from just £159.
The Royal Caravan is the first of its kind and has been created specifically to get people excited about staycationing here in the UK amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This unique accommodation blends affordability with extravagant luxury and has a number of special features which include:
Chandeliers in every single room, from the toilet to the bedroom.
Not one but TWO gold-plated toilets.
Custom gold and red velvet thrones.
A four-poster bed in the master bedroom adorned with crown decoration.
Dog-friendly with a royal dog bed and gold plated dog bowls.

No expense has been spared either, with an alleged £50-100K spent on renovations, which have taken the caravan from a modest holiday home in the countryside, to one of the most exclusive holiday lets in the UK.

Every detail appears to have been been kept to the absolute highest standard as well, with each room full of authenticity throughout.
Due to popular demand, The Royal Caravan is currently operating on a first-come, first-served basis so you’ll want to act fast to secure your best available dates, and breaks at Cayton Bay start from £159 for a three-night stay.
That makes it just £13.25 per person per night.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
