EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a large and lively holiday party unfolds at Bryn Corach, Conway, Wales, the first holiday centre and headquarter of the Holiday Fellowship, now HF Holidays. Established in the 1930s by Thomas Arthur Leonard, a pioneering figure in the British outdoor movement, Bryn Corach was a tent-house-centre that boasted tiers of small wooden chalets nestled in the picturesque grounds. The image captures the spirit of camaraderie and joy that defined the Holiday Fellowship during this era. Holidaymakers and residents, dressed in their Sunday best, gather around tables laden with food and laughter. Children play and frolic in the background, adding to the sense of merriment and community. The scene is one of simple pleasures and shared experiences, a testament to the enduring appeal of the great outdoors and the power of connection. Thomas Arthur Leonard's vision for the Holiday Fellowship was rooted in the belief that the natural world could provide a transformative experience for individuals and communities. With Bryn Corach as its flagship centre, the Holiday Fellowship went on to inspire generations of Britons to explore the beauty and wonder of the British countryside. This candid photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the simple joys of communal living and the great outdoors brought people together in a way that continues to resonate today.
