World of Country Life and Pennywell Farm scoop runner up spot in Primary Times awards!

22nd November 2018

Categories: Visitor News

Once again, the interest in the Primary Times Reader Star Awards has grown at an unprecedented rate. This year saw the greatest ever response to the Primary Times online survey where readers voted for their favourite local family friendly places and people.

Parents of children aged 4 to 11 years were informed of the survey in Primary Times, a family friendly magazine that is delivered directly to primary schools across Devon. With a distribution of 59,000 copies the magazine reaches 319 primary schools in the county.

The specially designed online survey appeared on the Primary Times website for five weeks in September and October.  Questions in the survey were formulated to incite open and honest replies from readers.  The results are truly organic, with the winning awards given to the attraction that gained the most reader nominations in a particular category.

The outcome of the survey is of special importance to many local businesses who value the insightful nature of the award results, as the families who complete the survey are often customers or potential customers.

In addition, the results provide an interesting snapshot of what is popular with families at this current time. It’s a way of local families recommending venues and attractions that deliver good quality service and provision to other readers.

Readers were quizzed over their favourite family attractions – places that they can visit for a full day out and for a half day out; indoor play centre; outdoor play centre; party venue/entertainer; free local family event; local fair, show or festival; best value of money attraction and the readers also chose an overall winner. 

This year, the highly desired Family Attraction award was split into two categories to accommodate the places where people like to spend their time for a full day out and for a half day out. 

This year, the runner up place in the prestigious Family Attraction (Full Day Out) category has been awarded jointly to World of Country Life and Pennywell Farm. 

These enormously popular attractions have clearly made a strong, favourable impression on the local community, with their first-class all-weather facilities and wide variety of events.  

Park Manager, James Turner, said: “We are so proud to have won this award especially as it is voted for by families who have visited the park.  The whole team here work hard to ensure it’s a fun place for all ages and to win in our 40th Anniversary year makes it extra special”

Linda Edwards, Publishing Editor at Primary Times, said: “We are so grateful to our readers for their valued contribution to our Reader Star Awards.  The results are incredibly insightful which allows us to take a glimpse into the minds of local people, discovering what the children enjoy most.  We would like to applaud all the individual winners and runners-up of each category and congratulate them on their success”.
