ENTREPRENEUR Peter Bull, last year's winner of the West Kent Business of the Year Award for The Hop Farm Family Park, has been asked to judge the Tourism and Leisure category for 2010.

In his search to find this year's finalists, Peter, who remains very active locally in tourism and leisure, has visited some of West Kent's most interesting companies in the sector.

He has recently completed a multimillion pound investment into the Hop Farm at Paddock Wood, which has been rebranded as "The World of Activities" to reflect the number of new attractions added to the popular family park.

He said: "The new attraction is perfect for our younger visitors. Families can enjoy animatronics and special effects, including the Teddy Bears' Picnic, the Jungle Scene and can also explore the weird and unusual in the Land of Mirrors.

"At the heart of the Kingdom is Treasure Island where children can hunt for treasure in the sand with real life pirates who share their 40ft ship with Peter Pan and his friends."

Discounts are available for summer visitors to the Enchanted Kingdom online at: www.thehopfarm.co.uk . Season tickets are also available for families.

Plans are also well under way for the reopening this year of Santa's Magic Christmas which will offer a blend of tradition and the latest technology, including a new 3D experience. Details are available on: www.santasmagicalkingdom.co.uk
