Rugby clubs, farms and stately homes are among the venues transforming themselves into pop-up holiday venues this summer as Covid travel restrictions lead to a surge in demand for staycations.
Landowners are taking advantage of a relaxation in the law that allows sites to open for 56 days without planning permission this year, up from 28 days in a normal year.
Camping booking platform Pitchup said temporary campsites have sprung up on all kinds of land, from farms to parkland around stately homes to rugby clubs, county showgrounds and village pub beer gardens.
They are proving a lifeline for businesses that may have otherwise struggled to survive the pandemic and for customers who might otherwise have been unable to take a holiday post-lockdown.
