Haven has hosted more than 400,000 guests over the Easter bank holiday, which the holiday park operator revealed has been a “record” 25% rise in the number of holidaymakers for the season.
With 39 parks located in various coastal spots, Haven attributed the sunny start to the month on the surge in staycations. When the weather changed, visitors were not deterred by the April showers.
As a result, Haven has had its biggest ever Easter holiday period, having seen “huge” demand in recent weeks leading to sales up by more than a quarter on Easter last year.
Simon Palethorpe, chief executive of Haven, said: “The popularity of staycations continues to grow as more and more people choose to enjoy all that our country has to offer. We work hard to ensure that visitors to Haven have a great experience by investing in our facilities, our accommodation and our overall experience.
“Whether you enjoy walking along the coastline, sampling the food and drinks from familiar brands like Burger King and JD Wetherspoon, or take advantage of the swimming pool and family entertainment venues, we’re delighted that so many people are choosing to holiday with us – resulting in Easter holiday sales up more than 25% this year.”
Mateusz Dolata, general manager of Haven’s Littlesea Park, added: “This Easter we’ve had more than 7,000 guests visiting Littlesea enjoying the Dorset coast, our family friendly activities, entertainment and our heated indoor pool.
“The team at Littlesea have loved making Easter 2025 a memorable time for all our guests as well as eating a few Easter eggs ourselves.”
