This lively 1965 scene at Pontins Dolphin Holiday Camp, Brixham, shows a donkey derby taking place on one of the camp lawns, with a large crowd gathered around the improvised course. Children and handlers stand with the donkeys in the centre while spectators watch from deckchairs and from behind the rope boundary, creating the kind of organised daytime entertainment that was a familiar part of the holiday-camp programme. Behind the crowd are rows of the camp’s compact chalet blocks set against tall trees, adding useful detail about the layout of the site as well as the attraction itself. It is a good view of the more informal, communal side of camp life, where simple novelty events like donkey derbies could draw a sizeable audience.
