Inside Dani and Danny Dyer's seaside park as he promises to 'bring caravan holidays back'

Daily Mail​13-05-2025

Danny Dyer and daughter, Dani Dyer, have given fans a glimpse of their latest exciting project.
The enterprising pair are set to manage their very own caravan park on Kent's Isle of Sheppey.
They're filming their journey at the Priory Hill & Nutts Farm Holiday Park for a new Sky TV series, 'The Dyers' Caravan Park'.
The Priory Hill & Nutts Farm is less than 50 miles from London and sits on the edge of Leysdown Beach.
It hosts events for members ranging from live cabarets to quiz nights and bingo evenings.
On its website the park says: 'We have two caravan parks, both of which have views of the stunning Leysdown coastline, one of which offers direct access to the shoreline.
'Our touring park also boasts views towards the coast. The adjoining spacious fields of the coastal area are a a treat for enthusiastic walkers and energetic children alike.'
Danny, who recently starred in Disney's Rivals, has tried his hand at everything from mowing the grass to maintenance work for the series.
On the Table Manners podcast, Danny revealed that the job is part of his mission to 'bring caravan holidays back'.
He said: 'Nostalgia is important for me. Every holiday, I used to go to Canvey Island at a place called Thorney Bay Beach Camp.
'My whole family were together, no phones, no laptops - it was the 80s. We used to hook up for a week, walk along the sea wall, do crabbing, go to the arcades and have a bit of candy floss.
'I used to think it was like Disney World. Now, I want to bring caravan holidays back. Mine is in Leysdown in Kent.
'The caravans are all static ones, it's got some charm about it - but it does need a lick of paint.'
The star admitted that many young people think caravan holidays are uncool and said he's going to try to 'make it cool again'.
Danny recently revealed his surprising new career venture outside of his acting career, saying he was inspired by Jeremy Clarkson's farm.
Appearing on a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Danny told the host: 'I'm going to invest some dough into a caravan site.
'I went to caravans on my holiday as a kid - Canvey Island. Caravans are a thing for me, it's very much about nostalgia.
'I seen Jeremy Clarkson is cracking on with his farm so I'm going to try and run a caravan site and bring back the British holidays.'
The series will see the fan favourite pair take on the project on the Isle Of Sheppey.
In a trailer for the new show, Danny joked: 'So Clarkson's got his farm. Richard Hammond has his workshop, f*****g about in there.
'If Jamie Oliver can save school dinners then I think I want to bring back the caravan holiday. Why the f**k can't I save the British holiday?'
As Dani asks how he is going to do it, he explained: 'Well I can chuck my face on it, chuck a few quid at it and try and make it cool again?
'It could be a complete f*****g failure and I could be talking complete f****g b****s.'
Sky explains that the father and daughter duo will be 'on a mission to bring back the Great British holiday in suitably chaotic fashion' for their TV series.
'Trying to breathe new life into the caravan industry, the Dyers have their work cut out for them as they invest their time and money into this once-great institution,' says Sky.
Dani adds: 'My dad wants to get involved in the caravan park and I'm all in: I love a caravan, so why not?
'My dad is a very friendly person - he's good at bringing everyone in - but has he got what it takes to make a success of this?'
Sky warns the pair's mission is unlikely to be plain sailing with the Dyers facing everything from 'dodgy plumbing' to 'demanding punters'.
A release date for The Dyers' Caravan Park is yet to be announced but it will be available to watch on Sky Max and to stream on NOW.

EXCLUSIVE Couple who built bright green extension 'blocking sea view' of furious neighbours put near £1m home up for sale just months later

A £1million home with a controversial green-brick extension is up for sale just months after it appeared on Tinie Tempah 's Channel 4 property show. Extraordinary Extensions followed interior designer Karim Mezeli and his partner Carly as they radically transformed the four-bed seaside property in 2022. The couple added a double-storey extension with a unique green-glazed brick to the 1960s end-of-terrace house in Broadstairs, Kent. Karim and Carly, whose episode aired in February last year, said they wanted to swap around the orientation of their 'dream' property so that it faced the sea. The plans, however, sparked furious opposition from neighbours who said the large addition to the family home would block their sea view. Others claimed that the green glazed brick - believed to be the first of its kind used on a residential property - was 'out of keeping' with the other houses on the street. Now MailOnline can reveal that the newly-renovated home, dubbed 'The Green Wing', has been put up for sale for £900,000. Interior designer Karim said they were planning to move out as it was time for the 'next project'. It comes as one neighbour told MailOnline they know someone who is already interested in buying it. Speaking to British rapper Tinie Tempah on Extraordinary Extensions, Carly and Karim described the Broadstairs property as their 'dream home'. Carly said: 'When I stood in the garden seeing the sea, I knew instantly all my dreams had come true. Karim added: 'We just loved the idea of the kids growing up and their view being the lifeboat going up and down. 'It is quite dreamlike.' The couple had a £300,000 budget for the extension - with the green-glazed brick alone estimated to cost £15,000. Carly explained on the show that the building material had typically only been used on pubs and restaurants and not on residential properties. Listing the property for sale on their website, estate agent Ben Morris said: 'The Green Wing is a bold and beautifully executed modern home that embraces its spectacular coastal setting through clean lines, intelligent spatial design, and panoramic sea views from every room. 'Featured on Channel 4's Extraordinary Extensions, the house is a statement of contemporary architecture and coastal living, quietly set on a peaceful residential road in Broadstairs, just a 10-minute walk from the town via the beach.' The extension, however, sparked controversy among neighbours - with some claiming it blocked their sea view and was out of keeping with the area. Several submitted objections on Thanet District Council's public planning portal when the initial application went in back in June 2021. One local living in a nearby close told MailOnline this week: 'I objected as many did but they got planning permission as you are not entitled to a sea view. 'But then you pay for it when you buy a house. 'It was such a beautiful home beforehand – I wanted to buy it but I just couldn't afford it. 'I don't know why they have put it up for sale but I do actually know someone who is interested in buying it.' Pointing to a photo of the original home, the neighbour added: 'That was it before, you can see it has come right out and blocked many people's views. 'It took my sea view away from my back window but it went ahead anyway. It isn't in keeping with the rest of the close but I understand that on the inside it is really lovely. 'They wanted to extend out, they have a family so I understand that but yes a lot of people were unhappy.' Another neighbour told MailOnline they had also looked around the property when it was previously up for sale. They said: 'We have watched it develop from the time they first did something with it. 'We actually first looked at the house before it turned into what it is now. 'We did not go for it. It is an end of terrace house. 'What they have done to it is very different. It is like marmite. 'It isn't the size of it. It is just the green brick. It looks like a Victorian toilet block. But it is just different people's taste. 'Now it is just part of the road.' Tinie Tempah praised Karim and Carly's property on the episode of Extraordinary Extensions that aired in February last year. The British rapper said: 'This is a really confident piece of design, elevated to new heights by the daring choice of brick. 'There was a little bit of me that was thinking you know what this could go horribly wrong but they've not only pulled it off, they have given this house a whole new face and it is definitely smiling.'
