2 Introduction 3 What are holidays made of? We think they’re made from being the first to see the sea. Eating hot vinegary chips in the salty air. Building an epic sandcastle – then squashing it. Spending so much time in the water that your skin goes wrinkly. Having quality time with your family, getting to know each other all over again. They’re simple pleasures. But important ones. And they’re what Haven do best. So round up your nearest and dearest. Pack your bucket and spade. And head to the Great British Coast for a holiday you’ll remember long after you’ve got the sand out of your socks. We can’t wait to welcome you. Seashore Holiday Park, Great Yarmouth 4 Park Map 5 We have 36 parks around the UK, little more than a stone’s throw from the beach. 0 Sc tnd O 2 Introduction C ntents 4 Park Map Seton Sands 6 New Developments 8 Accommodation Berwick Craig Tara Nature Rockz Haggerston Castle 10 14 Free Activities & Entertainment 0 N thumbend 16 Paid Activities & Restaurants 18 Scotland & Northumberland Cumbi 20 Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Lakeland 24 Essex, Kent & Sussex Blue Dolphin Cala Gran Primrose Valley 26 Wales Marton Mere Backp00l Reighton Sands Thornwick Bay Norfolk 0 28 Presthaven Y khi Dorset Hafan y Môr Thorpe Park 32 Golden Sands 34 Devon, Cornwall & Somerset N0t Linc0lnhi Greenacres Wae 36 Blackpool & Cumbria 40 Prices & Park Facilities Check List Caister-on-Sea Quay West Seashore S0ut N0f0 Wild Duck Hopton Lydstep Beach Wae Kiln Park Burnham-on-Sea Eex The Orchards Doniford Bay 0 S meet Allhallows Dev0 D0et Kent Perran Sands 0 Riviere Sands C Suex Littlesea Rockley Park Combe Haven Devon Cliffs Seaview Church Farm Weymouth Bay New Developments 7 What’s new? We’re always putting our heads together to come up with new ideas for our parks, and going round finding things we can polish up, improve or replace. This year, we’ve had the builders in at Hafan y Môr’s indoor pool and made it super-sploshin’ spectacular, with flumes, bubbles, waves and more. We’ve inflated the size of the one at Seton Sands, and really gone to town on the outdoor complex at Devon Cliffs. Primrose Valley now has the splendid Lakehouse kitchen and restaurant while the shiny new Quayside Café and Bar at Golden Sands brings everything you love about the beach indoors. Indoor pool, Seton Sands Holiday Village The Lakehouse, Primrose Valley Holiday Park All that’s on top of the additions and improvements we make constantly at every park so we look our very best for you each year. And we’ve got big plans for 2018 too. You’ll just have to come and visit us to find out what else we’re up to!

Or make a survival bracelet you can use to catch fish? Our Nature Rockz Rangers get everyone out to forage, find, examine and explore! Our Rangers will keep great big kids, tiny tots, and everyone in-between captivated. They’ll show you how to find flora and fauna and how to make things that are beautiful or useful – or both. But mostly you’ll learn to look, look, look wherever you go. Activities vary by park. See haven.com for full details.
