A unique opportunity to rent a business space over the North Sea is up for grabs.

Clacton Pier is offering a rare chance for a tenant to take on a unit around 180 metres from the shore, half way down the attraction.

The premises has previously been used by Park Resorts to sell holidays and mobile homes, but the company has commitments to other projects this year and no longer needs it.

The unit, which was first used as a Santa’s Grotto by the pier in 2018, is 576 square feet in size and is sited between the ride deck and the Jolly Roger.

It will be available for use all year round.

Pier director Elliot Ball said that the number of tenant spaces on the attraction has reduced greatly over the years.

“We have been developing so much more of the 6.5 acre site recently as part of our own expansion plans,” he added.

“This has led to a decline in the number of units we have left to rent out. It makes this a rare opportunity and one which does not come up very often.

“It is up for grabs for a trial period of a year, and we are open to consider all suggestions. If the idea works out the lease can be extended beyond the year.”

Mr Ball said that the pier is extremely busy from Easter throughout to October but there is a steady footfall all year long.

“Now, with our multi-million pound indoor attractions we are able to pull in visitors 364 days a year and we only close on Christmas Day.”
