This lively 1967 interior at Pontins South Devon Holiday Camp, Paignton, shows a packed bar or cabaret room during what appears to be a fancy dress or themed social night. In the foreground, several holidaymakers are seated around a small round table in elaborate costume, including western-style outfits, feathered dress, face paint and a mock Native American headdress, while behind them the room is crowded with drinkers, onlookers and more guests in costume. The bar itself carries a prominent Mackeson sign, and other period details include the globe lights, dark ceiling, wooden chairs, small tables and the mixture of suits, dresses and eveningwear among the wider crowd. Rather than a formal stage performance, this captures the participatory side of holiday-camp nightlife, where themed evenings, dress-up competitions and communal bar entertainment formed a major part of the indoor social atmosphere.
