Giant Conservatory
Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier is to install a giant glass conservatory on the South Deck of the Pavilion building.
The conservatory, which will be more than 50 metres long and 10 metres wide, will cost over a quarter of a million pounds. The roof will open and retract electronically and the doors will all slide open and stack, so the whole area can be opened up on sunny days.
Work will begin this week and the conservatory will be ready for the October half-term holiday, one year on from when the Grand Pier re-opened after the fire.
Grand Pier owner Kerry Michael said: “The conservatory will enable us to extend the season and allow our visitors to enjoy the great outdoors day to day during the winter months.
“It will also be used for special events like concerts and weddings and will be a great place to watch the Grand Pier firework display on 5th November”.
The conservatory will be specially constructed with tall, wide automatic doors at each end which will allow the land train to drive through it and turn around.

GRAND PIER FLY PAST
The Grand Pier will be honoured with a fly-past by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) on Friday 26th August at 1pm. A Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster will fly over the Pavilion.
The BBMF, which was set up in 1957 to represent the nation’s aviation heritage, will fly the WWII aircraft into Weston-super-Mare.
The Spitfire was produced in greater numbers than any other British combat aircraft. In total 20,400 were manufactured. The Spitfire played a major part in achieving the ultimate victory in WWII.
The Hurricane is one of the classic fighters of all time. It was designed and built for war and was at the forefront of Britain’s defence in 1939 – 1940.
There are only two Lancasters in the World that remain in an airworthy condition. The one that is coming to Weston-super-Mare was built in 1945 and was used on Photographic Reconaissance duties with 82 Squadron in East and South Africa.
Grand Pier owner Kerry Michael said: “We are delighted to have been selected for a fly-past so soon after our Grand Pier Air Day on 17th August.
“I am sure crowds of people will line the sea front to see these historic World War II fighter planes”.
