Cherry Tree Holiday Park in Burgh Castle has applied for a new premises licence which would allow it to host wrestling, live music, dancing and sporting contests until 2am.
Parkdean Resorts, which runs the venue, also hopes to serve refreshments until this time while outdoor events would run until 11pm.

But locals living in the small coastal community are attempting to persuade Great Yarmouth Borough Council it could harm their peace and quiet.
Several letters of objection have been sent to the authority, with people complaining the new licence would lead to extra noise, traffic and antisocial behaviour.

One local complained that events last summer "kept us awake" due to the high decibels of the music while another described the 2am plans as "disrespectful" and that it would be a "public nuisance and breach of our entitlement to a quiet home."

The parish council has also weighed in and urged the council to refuse the application, complaining that the village setting of the holiday park would be inappropriate for the late-night events.
However, Parkdean Resorts' agents have said the reason for applying to change the premises licence is due to the firm currently having to apply for a temporary licence to hold events.
They said there are no plans "to change the type and frequency" of the entertainment they have provided in previous years between June to mid-September and on bank holiday weekends and school holiday periods.

So far, the company has not received any complaints about the events it held previously, it has said.
Councillors will debate the application on Monday before making a decision.
