As the park prepares to re-open for the season, Parkdean Resorts who own the holiday park hopes the art will inspire a new level of love and appreciation for Morecambe in locals and tourists alike.
Janette Vaughan, general manager at Regent Bay Holiday Park, said: “Bob did a fantastic job bringing this piece to life, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the transformation of what
was previously an empty wall to a vibrant showcase of our town.
