Hoseason’s Holidays often used promotional film as part of their marketing. In 1961, a 16mm colour film with sound was made. ‘Broadland Panorama’ follows holidaymakers, from the moment they arrive at Oulton Broad yacht station in their saloon car, and set off by boat up the River Waveney to Beccles, then Yarmouth, Acle, and Norwich, sunbathing on board, or stopping off at a restaurant or to go dancing. "I'm coming again next year!" say the holidaymakers.
