Holiday Park Raises Eyebrows with Unconventional 30-Metre Entrance Sculpture.

KERSEY, SUFFOLK — A quiet East Anglian village has found itself at the centre of a localised moral storm following the installation of a massive wooden archway at the entrance of the Reminiscing Holiday Park.
The structure—measuring approximately 10 metres in height and spanning 30 metres across the main driveway—depicts a prominent pair of wooden, spread-eagled legs. Suspended directly between the knees is an arched wire sign spelling out the word “Reminiscing”, creating an unmistakable gateway for incoming motorists and holidaymakers.
According to park management, the installation visually reinforces their core philosophy of encouraging guests to “remember the good times.” Marketing literature describes the venue as an ideal retreat for long-term couples whose romantic enthusiasm has dwindled over time, offering a dedicated space to “relight the fire” and “rediscover the physical pleasures of times bygone times.”
Carry On Camping
The bold architectural choice has drawn swift condemnation from local community groups, most notably the Bury St Edmunds chapter of Residents Against Everything (RAGE).
“The entire thing is frankly disgusting,” said chapter chairwoman Brenda, commenting on the installation. “It is certainly not what I would want or expect from a holiday with my husband of 46 years, Reg. We visit the countryside for peace, quiet, and reliable tea rooms—not a giant timber reminder of marital duty standing by the roadside.”
Despite the pushback, representatives for Reminiscing Holiday Park remain firm, describing the sculpture as a tasteful, grounding metaphor for openness and emotional rekindling. Park officials confirmed that booking inquiries have increased sharply since the installation was completed, though parish council members have raised minor concerns regarding drivers slowing down to take photographs.
