Project summary and location
Moody Cow Farm Shop and Welsh Kitchen owners Chris and Geraint Thomas have launched a public consultation for a new indoor–outdoor waterpark proposed near Aberaeron, Ceredigion. The plan seeks to create a year-round family attraction featuring multiple indoor and outdoor pools, thrilling water slides and a children's splash area, expanding the farm's existing leisure and hospitality offerings.
Key features & public consultation
The preliminary proposal highlights:
- Indoor and outdoor pools for year-round use.
- Several high-thrill water slides and family-friendly splash zones.
- Supporting leisure facilities to complement the farm's campsite, glamping and on-site dining.
Project backers are gathering community feedback via an online survey and direct local consultation before formal planning submissions, signaling an intent to align the design with local needs.
Why it matters for regional tourism and suppliers
A new mid-scale waterpark on the Cardigan Bay corridor would strengthen local tourism and lengthen visitor stays. For equipment suppliers and contractors, the proposal points to practical procurement needs including:
- Pool systems and filtration equipment.
- Prefabricated or custom water slides and ride elements.
- Lifeguard stations, safety gear and access-control systems.
- Poolside retail, themed prize machines and guest engagement kiosks.
Smaller resort-style waterparks offer operators strong returns with lower capital requirements compared with full-scale parks, making them attractive projects for rural and coastal destinations.
Practical next steps for vendors
- Prepare concise proposals for slide systems and pool packages suitable for mid-scale resorts.
- Present modular, fast-install solutions (prefab slides, turnkey filtration) that minimize on-site build time.
- Include lifecycle costs (maintenance, spares, remote monitoring) to help planners assess TCO during consultation.
