Holiday park set to fall into administration

Billing Aquadrome, the 235-acre leisure park in Northamptonshire, is facing an uncertain future after it cleared a pathway for an administrator to be appointed to the resort.

Calling itself “the perfect destination for comments to remember”, Billing Aquadrome is in the Nene Valley. It includes holiday homes, glamping pods, touring and camping plots. Attractions include a heated swimming pool, entertainment venue and fun fair.

Earlier this year, controversial £30m plans by its owners Royale Resorts to add more 1,000 more caravans to the site were passed by West Northamptonshire Council.

However, on Thursday afternoon, The BusinessDesk.com understands that Billing Aquadrome Limited posted a notice of appointment to appoint an administrator, paving the way for an outside company to take over the day-to0-day control of the firm.

In its latest accounts, made up to January 31 2022, Billing Aquadrome saw its profits rise to almost £6.9m on the back of a steady turnover of £16.7m. At the time, the company employed 99 people.

Royale Resorts has been contacted for comment.
