The Sunny Bird PR team are excited to announce they are now working with The Lagoon, The South’s First Surf and Adventure Park Coming to Bournemouth in 2022

The Lagoon is a man-made surf park with a highly engineered and hi-tech wave machine capable of making over 2,400 ocean-like waves per hour. The entire development looks to attract over 500,000 visitors annually and aspires to become a centre of sporting excellence fit for Olympians. 

 The Lagoon will be based upon a beach shack style, which will be both authentic and attractive, with ocean inspired décor. With a grass roof for the main building, solar panels and rainwater harvesters the site is planned to be energy-neutral for an environmentally friendly solution.

The people behind this ambitious project are Matt Radford, Founder and MD, who teamed up with Director Martin Spooner to create a fast-moving development company. The visionary duo have also employed an impressive team of local consultants with combined experience managing sites such as Legoland, Longleat, Merlin Entertainments. 

An all year round indoor and outdoor attraction, The Lagoon will offer a range of indoor activities from rock climbing to abseiling as well as five different wave areas to cater for everyone from absolute beginners to pros all at the same time. The Lagoon will also offer a tranquil environment with an offering of mixed accommodation styles from a contemporary 145-bedroom hotel to tree houses, woodland lodges, glamping pods and ‘hobbit’ huts. The eco-conscious development will bring a significant number of tourists into the area, create considerable employment and will also supply an important all-weather destination for the local community, holidaymakers and tourists alike. 

Sunny Bird, founder and MD of Sunny Bird PR, said: “We are very proud to be involved with such an ambitious and important project, being based in Bournemouth but delivering national PR, we are perfectly positioned to support The Lagoon in Bournemouth, the region, nationally and internationally along this very exciting journey.”

“Such a monumental vision and we are thrilled to be a part of it.”
