UK: New Family Climbing Fun at Haven Holiday Parks

Bourne Leisure Ltd. is a well-known operator of holiday resort facilities in the UK. In two of the operator’s holiday parks on the English east coast belonging to the “Haven” brand, the leisure offering was recently supplemented by new climbing attractions from Innovative Leisure. At Golden Sands Holiday Park in Mablethorpe on the east coast of Lincolnshire, a Sky Trail high ropes course and a Sky Tykes junior course (for younger guests) have been installed in the newly created “Adventure Village” area. At Caister-on-Sea Holiday Park near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, a very similar combination has been realized, also consisting of a Sky Trail and a Sky Tykes. Both high ropes courses are a 10-pole, single level attraction featuring 19 different climbing elements. 25 guests can enjoy the climbing facility at a time, leading to an hourly capacity of approx. 50 people per day. The children’s courses are 7-pole facilities with a Sky Rail Zip element. In this low rope facilities, 15 guests can climb at the same time.

“These new high ropes activities fit in with our strategy of improving the on-site offering to our owners and guests. They create an exciting focal point for family groups and allow us to do more hourly capacity than previous traditional versions. The junior courses have already performed well at two other Haven sites. Innovative Leisure have supported us throughout the projects and helped overcome some unique pandemic challenges,” says Simon Palmer, Head of Activities and Leisure at Bourne Leisure. (eap)
