What's new for 2024 across our parks?
We added loads of new features to parks in 2023, from launching new Marina Bar and Stages entertainment venues, to a whole host of new activities, and even a brand-new park in the form of Skegness. And for 2024, we have even more investments to shout about!
From creating a new Adventure Village to adding fun-filled new activities and even more brilliant food brands, there's so much to look forward to at Haven in 2024.
Find out more about the exciting openings across our parks this year.

What's new in 2024 for tots?
Mini Aerial Adventure
Now open at Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, this mini ropes course is a real hit with under fives, and will form part of the park's new Adventure Village. Kids are strapped into their harness and then find their way around a challenging mini course - before zipping down the tot-sized zipwire to finish!
Outdoor Stage
Also new for 2024 at Burnham-on-Sea is our fantastic Outdoor Stage - the perfect place to be entertained while enjoying the park's great outdoors. There'll be something for everyone here, from shows to film screenings and everything in-between, but we think little ones will especially love seeing their favourite Seaside Squad characters here!
Seaside Treats
Rounding up the brilliant new tot-friendly additions at Burnham-on-Sea's Adventure Village is our Seaside Treats: serving up brilliant ice creams, waffles, pancakes and just about every sweet treat little ones (and not-so little ones!) could dream of.
Activitots
Holidaymakers have absolutely loved the Activitots activities we introduced at most parks in 2023 - in fact 78,000 of you took part in our Activitots and Activikids sessions overall! Activitots - aimed at children 2 to 4 - has been so incredibly popular that for 2024, we're introducing two new sessions:
Activitots Athletics - kids will throw, catch, jump and balance with guided help from the activity leaders
Activitots Mini Games - a jam-packed session including mini fencing, mini archery as well as other fun, active games for the little ones to enjoy
These sessions add to our existing Activitots sessions which include:
Ball Sports – covering football, rugby and basketball
Bat and Ball Sports – including hockey, cricket and tennis
Balance and Coordination Skills – featuring a range of equipment to test their skills
As well as the existing Activikids sessions for children aged 5+.
Seaside Squad Make a Bear
If you joined us with your little ones in 2023, you may have taken part in Jaz's Make a Bear Party, an enhanced version of our popular Make a Bear Activity that includes some singing, dancing and interaction with Seaside Squad member Jaz.
For 2024, we've changed things up a little! In our Seaside Squad Make a Bear, you'll now get to choose a Squad-themed plushie to create and take home with you with their own passport and Seaside Squad bag, while the fab four entertain and guide you on screen. It's going to be un-bear-lievable!
