While buying your tickets please make a small donation to support our Charity of the Year .... Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre. Since 1891 the Derbyshire Childrens Holiday Centre has provided seaside holidays in Skegness for the children of Derbyshire between the ages of six to eleven. The need for the DCHC is as vital today as it was 133 years ago. Many of our children have never had a seaside holiday before, played on a beach or in the sea. Many of us take such a holiday for granted. The DCHC continue to provide these holidays thanks to your support, and generosity.every penny does count.
