Festive, Christmas and New Year
Christmas is coming to Haven! Are you?
Five parks will be opening their doors during December for a festive getaway you won't forget. And with special themed breaks available from mid-December onwards, you can join us for a pre-Christmas escape, spend Christmas Day itself on park with us, or even ring in the New Year with Haven. The choice is yours!
Each park will be transformed into a winter wonderland with twinkly lights, Christmas trees and fabulous decorations, with extra-special Christmas-themed entertainment and activities on offer.
Who knows, you might even bump into Santa himself!
Available 13 December-2 or 3 January (exact dates vary by park).
More seasonal events
We love an excuse to dress up and express ourselves at Haven - and when better than during Easter or Halloween?
Join us on certain dates in April or October, and you'll see the park come to life with hopping-mad Easter crafts or super spooky events.
Halloween breaks give you the chance to carve your pumpkins with our Rangers, make scarily good arts and crafts to take home with you, and show off your best Halloween costumes in our fancy dress parade.
Easter breaks are full of themed activities, from all-important egg hunts to Easter bonnet parades and crafty Easter creations. It's an eggcellent time to visit our parks, even if we do say so ourselves.
Activities and events vary by park.
