Activities

To make planning your holiday as easy as possible, activity bookings will open 12 weeks from the start of your holiday, in line with restaurant bookings.

You’ll be able to make your bookings via the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience and will be able to book both free and paid for activities.

Activity bookings can also be made once you arrive on park, however due to limited capacity, we’d always recommend booking in advance to ensure you get everything you’re after! 

Please note, whilst we have a lot of free activities for you to get stuck into, some of our activities do require a small additional charge to book.

Ants

During warm periods the appearance of ants is common. Advice from the Local Environmental Health Officer confirms that they do appear for no apparent reason and do not reflect any lack of hygiene.  They can only be attributed to a force of nature, but we apologise for any distress or inconvenience this situation may cause you. For safety reasons all holiday homes have vents, hence there will always be access points for such insects. To discourage their presence please do not leave food exposed, particularly in the kitchen. We do have ant spray on Park should you wish the team to apply this around the vents in your holiday home, please visit Reception

Arrival day activities 

If you want to book activities for your arrival day, this can be done seven days before your arrival date. Once within the seven days, you'll be able to book activities from 1pm. Please note, you’ll also be able to book activities for your first day via the Activity Booking Point on park once you’ve checked in (subject to availability). 

Activities are only available to our Holiday guests, Private Let guests who have purchased a Play Pass and our owners. Please bring your Play Pass or Owner Card with you. 

Arrival

Please see the My Haven Experience App or haven.com/experience 7 days before arrival for your allocated check-in time.

Arriving late: please let us know on the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience when you get your allocated arrival time. We will then know to expect you later.

Arcade

The bright lights and excitement of our arcade awaits for all guests to enjoy. Our machines take cash so pick out all the loose change from behind the sofa before coming! Don’t worry if you don’t have spare pennies, we have machines to change money for you, so you’ll soon be playing.

Barbecues

Get your sizzle on in safety. Please keep barbecues away from holiday homes, verandas and the external gas bottles. They must also be elevated. Be sure that they’re completely put out before you leave them.

Bars and restaurants

We have The Carousel bar and restaurant for wining or dining, and the ShowBar entertainment venue, home to our Entertainment Cast, the Seaside Squad, and live acts. Both venues are inside the main complex. New for 2023 Marina Bar and Stage and Slim Chickens Restaurant

You can pre-book a restaurant table on the My Haven Experience app or via haven.com/experience 12 weeks before your holiday or by visiting the restaurant once on park. There will be no table bookings in entertainment venues and tables will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Buses

The main bus stop is just outside the park, with buses running regularly into Cleethorpes and Grimsby. There’s a bus stop opposite Reception, which only runs at specific times. If you need any information on local bus routes, please see the Reception team.

Car parking

Our grassy areas are important to us. Please avoid parking on them and use the dedicated space next to, or near your holiday accommodation. Please also be considerate of your neighbours too. We have Blue Badge spaces near main complex for those who need them.

Cash machines

Cash machine located in the arcade area outside the carousel entry doors

Checking out

Don’t go just yet! But if you must, please remember check out is by 10am. Please leave your key in the key drop box outside Reception. Please remember to return any hire goods to Reception. Once our team have confirmed the return of the hired goods, we will refund the deposit back onto the card that the payment was made from.

Child safety

We can’t give you eyes in the back of your head, but we can give you a brightly coloured wristband for little ones in case they wander off. Come and see us at the swimming pool Reception and we’ll add your contact details to it.

Direct beach access

Soak up the sea air on the beach. There's access to the sandy beach opposite the park.

Dogs

Your four-legged friends are our four-legged friends! Most breeds of dog are welcome here. Please always keep your dog on a lead and clean up after your pet. When you want to chill out with a drink and your furry friend, we have a dog-friendly area outside the main complex. We have a designated dog walking area and dogs are also welcome on the nature reserve, and the beach alongside the park all-year round. We also have a Bark Yard which is dog obstacle course. Nearby Cleethorpes Central Beach has dog restrictions and dogs are not allowed on the beach from Wonderland Groyne to Cleethorpes Leisure Centre from Good Friday to 30 September each year.

Driving

We’re strict about speed on park. Please stick to 10mph when you’re driving around.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging points 

We have 4 charging points available.

Emergencies

If you have an emergency, please call 999 and then our Reception and Security teams. This way we can direct them straight to you and come to your aid while you wait. If it’s not an emergency but you’d still like help, please call our Reception on 01472 813395 or our Security team on 07983 440847 as we have trained first aiders on the park.

Play Passes

If you're on a Haven Holiday break, Play Passes give you access to book all the good stuff, like activities, swimming pools and entertainment venues. Play Passes are not included in Haven Hideaway breaks.

Post

We know how important a postcard to Nan and Grandad is when you’re on holiday, so drop in any pre-stamped post to us at Reception, and we’ll make sure it gets off for you. Post box outside shouthbeach supermarket

Remote controls

No luck finding the TV remote? You can operate it from the set itself. We may even have another one at Reception so it’s worth asking just in case.

Special requirements and accessibility

If you have any questions or have special requests please contact our Call Centre prior to booking, where we have specially trained advisors who can help with every aspect of your booking. They can discuss the suitability of the park. If you have any questions while on the park, please ask the Reception team.

Swimming

We know that swimming is one of our most popular activities, so we have done everything we can to ensure as many of our guests get a chance to swim as possible. 

For indoor swimming, you can book slots before and during your stay. From four weeks before your break start date, you'll be able to pre-book up to 14 swim slots per holiday booking. You'll also be able to book more slots once you arrive on park, should capacity allow. 

Each swim slot lasts for 60 minutes and can be booked on the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience. We're able to hold swim slots for up to 15 minutes, however if you fail to show after this time, the swim slot will be cancelled and given to another guest. 

Takeaway

If you can’t have a takeaway on holiday, when can you? We have a Burger King®, Cook’s Fish and Chips and Papa John’s® on our park, just waiting for you to enjoy. Papa John’s® will also deliver directly to your accommodation if required.

Whether you’re ordering for collection, delivery or to eat in, all takeaway orders can be made via My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience. 

Terrain of the park

The park is flat apart from Palm Springs.  

Tourist information

If you’re looking to explore the area, find a cracking local restaurant, or discover a nearby hidden gem, our Reception team can offer tips, advice, and recommendations. We have loads of tourist leaflets at Reception too.

Towels

Own up, who forgot to pack the towels? It’s okay, we provide towels (1 hand and 1 bath towel per person) in our Gold and Signature grade accommodation or you can hire some from Reception for a small charge and deposit.

Upgrades

You will need to arrange any upgrade prior to receiving your arrival time. Please contact the park and they will be happy to discuss upgrade options with you.

Visitors

To maximise the opportunity for guests to access the swimming pools, activities, entertainment venue and restaurants included in their holiday package, all holidaymakers visiting our parks must be included on a valid holiday booking. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity on our parks to allow our guests to bring visitors to our parks.

WiFi

Due to the remoteness of our holiday parks the WiFi signal can vary. We do have free guest WiFi available in The Carousel and Reception. Our apps work on Wifi and 4G, and if you do not have any signal, you can always book your activities with our Activity and Leisure team at the Activity Booking Point. No WiFi available in holiday homes.
