During peak holiday periods, entertainment takes place seven days a week, giving families something to look forward to every day of their break.
For younger guests, our much-loved Seaside Squad have been creating holiday memories for more than 30 years with their incredible entertainment. Little ones can sing, dance and join their favourite characters, while parents relax knowing there's always something happening.
And if the autumn weather turns cooler, every Haven park has a heated indoor pool, providing the perfect place to splash, swim and play whatever the weather.
Activities for every age this October
One of the best things about an October half term break at Haven is the huge choice of activities available for children of all ages. Budding football stars can develop their skills at Football Fun Factory, with fun, non-competitive sessions designed for children ages 2-12.
Older children can put their teamwork and agility to the test at NERF Training Camp, an action-packed activity exclusive to Haven for ages six and over. For younger children and creative minds, Make a Bear sessions offer the chance to create a personalised furry friend to take home as a special holiday keepsake.
Many activities can be pre-booked up to 12 weeks before arrival, making it easy to plan ahead. Once you're on park, you'll also find free outdoor play areas at all 38 Haven parks, plus free soft play at selected parks, giving children plenty of opportunities to stay active and entertained.
