EASTER HOLIDAYS
Fri 3—Mon 20 April 2020
The Easter holidays are the perfect opportunities to shake off the winter coats, breathe in the fresh sea air and have your first paddle of the year in the sea. With lots of Easter-themed things to do, your kids can enjoy some of the more traditional Easter activities and shows.
Come with your family, make the most of the extra days off work and spend your Easter holidays with the people who matter most to you.
MAY HALF TERM
Fri 22 May—Mon 1 June 2020
The kids are off school, spring has come and there’s a bank holiday weekend in the mix; that means a trip to the seaside is a must! When the British weather’s playing ball, enjoy our outdoor activities, head to the beach and treat the family to an ice cream.
And if the weather’s not on our side, embrace the seaside in true British form while making the most of our indoor activity venues(场地) and brilliant live shows.
SUMMER HOLIDAYS
Fri 17 July—Fri 4 September 2020
Pack up the car and take your kids on a summer holiday to create long lasting family memories. Make the most of the beautiful beaches sitting on our resorts’ doorsteps, enjoy the Traditional Fairground and its unique rides, see live shows, and dive into our family pool; perfect for those not-so-sunny summer days.
