Haven giving holiday parks a £170 million revamp

Friday, 12 Apr, 2023 0

Holiday park operator Haven plans to pump over £170 million into multiple parks in the UK this year.

The expansion will include new activity and entertainment facilities, as well as an increase in new holiday homes.

The UK staycation market continues to grow, with Haven’s December sales seeing an increase of more than 40% YOY.

This January was the best ever for sales of self-catered Haven holidays and touring spaces.

The multi-million-pound investment will enable Haven to welcome more than three million guests and 25,000 holiday home owners to its parks in 2023.

The plans will see major entertainment upgrades across a number of parks including Allhallows (Kent), Quay West (South Wales), Thorpe Park and Skegness (Lincolnshire).

All these parks will get new facilities including Adventure Villages and Marina Bar & Stages.

Further parks across Haven’s portfolio will see smaller upgrades to existing entertainment facilities and activities.

These are Weymouth Bay, Hopton, Craig Tara, Devon Cliffs and others.

Acquired by Blackstone in 2021, Haven has already invested almost £230 million in parks across 2021 and 2022.

This latest investment will allow the company to offer a wider range of entertainment concepts.

It will generate over 7,000 new seasonal and 500 permanent jobs across its 41 parks.
