Haven splashes out £1 million at historic holiday park

Haven Holidays is splashing out £1 million on upgrading the pool complex at Caister Holiday Park as the resort looks forward to another busy season.

The indoor pool is being given a complete make-over with a new changing area and stylish new spectator area overlooking the pool.

The investment comes as the holiday park, on the site of Britain’s oldest holiday camp dating back 105 years, is looking forward to what promises to be another record season with bookings up 10% on the same time last year.

General Manager Mark Collymore said: “Caister Holiday Park has been going from strength to strength – which is fantastic when you consider its rich heritage going back to 1906. 

“The new pool facilities will be an added attraction for our holidaymakers and the families and couples who own holiday homes with us, as part of our ongoing programme of enhancing the holiday experience for our guests.”

Caister Holiday Park has more than 300 “owners” who have holiday homes on the park so they can have regular weekends away to enjoy the many facilities on the award-winning resort.

Many of the owners live within easy reach of Caister including some from Great Yarmouth who enjoy a full diary of social events associated with having a holiday home at the park. 

Other new developments include replacing the Carousel entertainment venue in an extended area of Caister Holiday park with a new playing area.

Haven has also reported a big increase in enquiries about holiday homes, which start at just £15,000, as more families are attracted to the prospect of having an affordable “bolthole by the sea.”

Short breaks at Caister start from as little as £99 for a four night Spring break (based on Standard accommodation for up to six people).   Holidaymakers will be able to use the new swimming pool complex at no extra cost.   Click on www.haven.com or call 0871 230 1900.
