Is anybody going to Prestatyn next week-end for the Velvelettes and Tavares?
I'm writing to sound off about it.
The week-end falls each year around my wedding anniversary so I like to make it a good week-end away for my wife and I.
The trouble this year, quite frankly, is the price.
The Velvelettes were at the weekender at Hemsby 4/5 years ago with the Miracles and others before it moved to Prestatyn. The Club chalet cost £160 for the weekend.
This year a club chalet costs £340. This is ok at £85 each with 4 sharing but with just the two of us, it's an outrageous price for an out-of-season week-end at Pontins whatever the artists showing. Even the classic chalet costs £248.
The only accomodation for two persons sharing is a £100 budget room where we have to make our own beds up each night. Hardly appropriate for a special wedding anniversary week-end.
Looking around I've been offered a week-end break at a 4 star Spa Hotel nearby with full English breakfast included at £158. Much better accomodation, lots to do, breakfast paid for and much cheaper.
So unless there are last-minute deals being offered, it's testing the Spa waters for us rather than These Things Will Keep Me loving You. A great shame from my viewpoint.
does anybody else have any comments on this?
