Award-winning holiday parks reopen after £10m makeover and guests 'love every minute'

This March, the classic British seaside holiday gets a fresh twist as Parkdean Resorts officially reopens two of its most popular destinations - Vauxhall Holiday Park in Norfolk and Highfield Grange in Essex. Following an extensive £10 million transformation, both parks are ready to deliver a "Bigger, Better, Bolder" experience just in time for the Easter break.

The multi-million-pound upgrades have been designed to offer a modern holiday experience, combining high-tech adventure with reimagined family comforts. Whether you're travelling with toddlers, teens, or grandparents, there's something for everyone to enjoy on your next staycation.

And the enhanced family fun doesn't have to break the bank. Breaks start from just £112 in April, while school holiday deals offer fantastic value - a four-night stay at Vauxhall Holiday Park begins at £149, working out at only £37 per person.

The park enhancements are packed with activities designed to keep the fun going, no matter what the Great British weather throws at you. Adventure seekers can take on brand-new high and low ropes courses, while the Bear Grylls Escape Rooms offer a unique survival-themed challenge for families and friends to tackle together.

Younger guests can enjoy the "Off-Road Rangers" circuit and new "Tots Safe Zones," created especially for little ones. Meanwhile, the Hat Tricks Sports Bar has been revamped as a hub for adults and teenagers, featuring interactive darts, shuffleboard and indoor golf, complemented by stylish outdoor dining terraces for alfresco meals.

This £10 million redevelopment goes far beyond extra attractions - it represents a full reinvention of the holiday park experience. Upgraded facilities and a host of new dining options, including Thunderbird Fried Chicken and Scoops Ice Cream parlours, ensure that the quality of accommodation matches the excitement of the entertainment, according to the Mirror.

With the grand re-openings scheduled for March, the parks are ready to welcome those planning last-minute Easter escapes or organising their big summer family getaways. Both parks are located close local beaches to ensure a healthy dose of seaside fun.

Highfield Grange is just a 10-minute drive from Clacton Beach, with its iconic pier and amusement attractions, while the nearby town of Frinton-on-Sea offers a charming retreat with Victorian architecture and boutique shops. Meanwhile, Vauxhall Holiday Park is only minutes from the bustling promenade of Great Yarmouth. For those keen to explore further afield, the scenic Norfolk Broads are just a short drive away.

A further development for the 2026 season is the introduction of an all-inclusive optionat 42 of its UK parks for selected dates across the year.
