Parks opening for 2026
A few of our parks have already shrugged off the winter slump and opened their doors to guests for February half-term – and what a half-term it was! Now it’s nearing the time for the rest of our parks to start welcoming guests back for the new season.
With a huge host of refurbishment work, exciting changes and some NEW activities coming your way, 2026 is set to be best holiday season yet! Roll on 6th March!
Million-pound investments
From brand-new units, upgraded accommodation and an exciting new camping & touring shower block underway, Ruda has benefitted from a vast financial investment to bring it into its new chapter since joining the John Fowler family last June.
Also receiving a vast new redevelopment, St Ives will be home to a brand-new swimming pool, complete with wet play wall, tipping buckets and variety of new water features for the kids - even a sun terrace for the grown-ups to relax on.
The work doesn’t stop there either, these redevelopments are just part of an exciting list of changes across our parks over the coming winter seasons. Watch this space!
New activities
Kids are definitely in for a treat this holiday, with some brilliant new activities heading their way across our Big & Lively parks. For only a small extra charge, they can enjoy the following new activities (and you can enjoy sitting back with a drink whilst they do them!)
Metallic Art - Create a dazzling, rub-and-reveal foil masterpiece, bursting with shimmer and sparkle.
Mosaic Creations - Design and craft your own colourful mosaic artwork using vibrant tiles, shapes and patterns.
Design-A-Dream Catcher - Decorate, design and personalise your very own dream catcher ready to hang in a window and sparkle in the sunlight.
