This wide 1967 view at Pontins South Devon Holiday Camp, Paignton, shows the donkey derby laid out across one the camp’s sports field, with the roped course, gathered spectators and a line of donkeys waiting near the centre. Behind them is a row of small green timber chalets, while to the right are the children’s play area swings and slide, with more holidaymakers massed around the entertainment terrace beyond. The image gives a broader sense of how these novelty events fitted into the overall camp setting, combining chalet accommodation, open grassed space, simple amusements and organised daytime entertainment in one scene. Rather than focusing on the race itself, this photograph works especially well as a general overview of the communal, family-centred atmosphere that holiday camps like Pontins were built around.
