About the Haven Holiday Park

The venue for the IIH Weekender is Haven's "Golden Sands" Holiday Park. This page gives information about the facilities of the holiday park, accommodation, and Day Passes available for the Park.

Accommodation

Self Catering Holiday Accommodation

Haven provides six grades of holiday caravan accommodation, including, "Prestige", "Superior PLUS", "Superior", "Standard PLUS", "Standard", and "Accessible". Prices for the different grades of accommodation available can be found on the Haven website.

Touring Caravans & Camping

Touring caravan and camping pitches are available at the Park from only £3 per pitch, per night during May. For further details see the Haven website.

!!!Latest News!!!

The latest news that we have from the venue is that the Park is now fully booked for the Weekender weekend for static caravans, but tent pitches and touring caravan pitches may still be available. Forum members should check out the 'Social Events' board of the forum, as there may still be forum members who have spare beds in their vans. Alternatively, it's always possible to stay locally and to get a Day Pass to the Park which allows access to all of the Park's facilities and will allow you to join in all the fun. Details of Day Passes are given below.

Staying Locally

If you don't wish to stay at the Park, or if accommodation isn't available and you wish to stay somewhere else locally and use the Day Pass option, information on local places to stay can be found at the Mablethorpe wesbite and from Mablethorpe's Tourist Information Centre.

Mablethorpe is the nearest town to the holiday park, but the smaller towns of Trusthorpe and Sutton on Sea are also within easy travelling distance of the Park. Skegness is a larger resort, approximately 15km away from the Park, but still within travelling distance.

Day Passes

The cost of a Day Pass, for everyone over the age of five, is £5. For this you get access to all of the facilities, indoor and outdoor and also the evening entertainment, and more importantly, to the fun and frolics of the IIH Weekender, however, you do need to be "signed in" by someone who is staying on the site, who needs to give details of their key number, and confirmation of booking.

For this reason, if you wish to use the Day Pass option to join in with the IIH Weekender fun, you MUST contact us before the weekend, as we need to know who we're expecting, and arrange for one of the IIH Weekender team to be on hand to sign you in. Anyone who contacts us to let us know that they wish to use this option will be given the mobile telephone number for the IIH Weekender team, so you can let us know when you arrive (though it would be helpful if you could give us an approximate time of arrival beforehand to allow us to plan who will be where and when).

For our planning purposes it would be useful if you could let us know how many people will be using this option, your approximate time of arrival, and if possible give a mobile phone number so we can contact you if we need to.

You can contact us via the contact form on the contact page, or IIH Support forum members can contact us via the forum's "Personal Message" (PM) system.
