Get hooked on group fishing with Haven!

With 35 holiday parks around the UK, Haven Holidays have a well deserved reputation for family breaks and have recently been voted ‘Best Domestic Tour Operator’ by the Travel Trade.

But did you realise just how many of the parks offer top facilities for fishing? Including well-managed competition standard lakes and easy access to miles of unspoilt beaches with deep-sea fishing trips available locally.

And with the waters right on your doorstep angling’s even more convenient – you can even pop back to your holiday home for lunch!

Several of Haven’s Holiday parks offer first-class fishing facilities at a moderate extra charge with well stocked lakes and coaching available throughout the season.

Facilities vary from park to park and group savings of up to 20% start at bookings for as few as five caravan holiday homes up to 500! Haven has a dedicated team to help with all group and event bookings from initial inquiry through to any special requirements such as planning meals, packed lunches or providing a venue for an end-of-break awards ceremony.

Burnham on Sea, an award winning holiday park on the Somerset coast holds regular Saturday angling competitions where catches of fish of around 8-12lb are the norm – although the specimen carp lake regularly yields substantial fish weighing up to 32lb. The lakes have well managed swims and are stocked with roach, tench, bream and perch – there’s even a bivvy hut for night fishing or bird-watching.

The Orchards, near St Osyth in Essex is a haven for anglers with two lakes and specimen carp weighing up to 35lb. Or head north to Thorpe Park Holiday Village near Cleethorpes or Primrose Valley on the North Yorkshire coast where well-stocked lakes provide challenging coarse fishing.

Whether it’s five units of accommodation for a group of friends who’d like to enjoy a weekend of top fishing with accommodation close at hand or an angling club that would like to arrange a more formal competitive event – we’re happy to help.

And if some members of your party fail to see the attraction of angling, you won’t need to worry about them being bored – with swimming pools, golf, bowling, daytime and evening entertainment and some truly stunning locations there’s plenty of choice for non-anglers.

Facilities vary from park to park so check the website for more information and where to catch the best bargains.

Prices start at an affordable £99 for up to four people based on four nights at The Orchards or Thorpe Park staying in De-luxe accommodation on various mid-week beaks during October. Call 0871 230 1911 or click on www.havengroups.co.uk
