UP CLOSE: How Lunch At Twelve has mastered its takeaways

When Lunch at Twelve opened 17 February last year, they couldn't have predicted where the business (and life as we know it) would be.

Why are parts of Barry Island Pleasure Park being demolished?

Barry Island Pleasure Park owner Henry Danter says they are busy dismantling structures ready for the next season.

Mr Danter bought Barry Island Pleasure Park back in 2015, beginning a £20 million redevelopment of the amusement park.

Two tin roof buildings that were used to store old rides are currently being demolished.
