Phase one will see 25 eco-friendly woodland lodges arriving at the park, with infrastructure groundworks starting later this year. The one, two and three-bedroom lodges will be fully furnished for self-catering holidays, with hot tubs installed in the deluxe lodges.

Gaynor Corr, park director at Sundown Adventureland, said: “We’re really pleased that planning has been passed and we can add another exciting element to Sundown Adventureland for our visitors to enjoy. We have had the lodges custom made to fit with the park’s fairy tale theme so that they are unique to Sundown. There is no other theme park in the UK like ours, so we are so excited to bring this next phase to life.
