The UK’s best holiday parks for activities and entertainment
Looking for the best holiday parks in the UK for activities and entertainment? You’re in the right place. From surf schools and splash zones to big-stage shows and late-night laughs, these UK holiday resorts turn a simple break into a full-blown experience.
The beauty of a great park isn’t just the setting – it’s the sheer choice. Pools with flumes. Adventure golf. Live music. On-site activities that fill every hour, plus beaches, mountains and buzzing seaside towns just beyond the gates. That’s proper park entertainment.
Whether you’re travelling with toddlers, teens or a mix of both, these parks make it easy to keep everyone happy. High-energy days, lively evenings and plenty of reasons to stay up past bedtime – this is how you do a UK break properly.
Haven Devon Cliffs – Devon
If your family holiday vibe is “try everything once – then do it again”, Devon Cliffs is your match. This clifftop giant packs in high ropes, climbing walls, archery, crazy golf and pools with flumes that guarantee repeat laps. There’s always something starting in 10 minutes – and yep, you’ll probably say yes.
When the sun dips, the entertainment complex switches on. Live music, family shows, big-stage performances – it’s all slick, loud and brilliantly done. Beyond the park, Exmouth’s beach is made for paddleboards and ice creams, while the Jurassic Coast serves up scenery that steals the show.
Parkdean Resorts Cayton Bay – North Yorkshire
Surf before breakfast? Why not. Cayton Bay’s on-site surf school makes it ridiculously easy to give it a go, whether you’re a total beginner or chasing better waves. Back on dry land, there’s an indoor pool, sports courts and a steady stream of organised activities to keep everyone moving.
Scarborough is just up the road when you want classic seaside energy – arcades, fish and chips, castle views, the works. This is Yorkshire’s coast with its sleeves rolled up and ready for fun.

Haven Primrose Valley – North Yorkshire
Primrose Valley doesn’t do small. It does boating lakes, aerial adventure courses and a pool complex big enough to lose your flip-flops in. You can spend the morning on pedal karts, the afternoon on the climbing wall and still have energy left for evening shows.
The real mic drop? Direct beach access. Just wander off the park and you’re on sweeping sand with sea air in your lungs. Whitby and Scarborough are close enough for day trips, but honestly, you might be too busy.
Haven Perran Sands – Cornwall
Dunes. Deckchairs. Disco lights. Perran Sands nails the balance between beachy calm and full-throttle fun. Days are for surf lessons, sports courts and splash sessions in the pool. Evenings crank things up with live entertainment that gets the whole crowd clapping along.
Step off site and you’re straight onto golden sand backed by rolling dunes. The South West Coast Path calls for a wander, and Newquay’s surf scene is within easy reach. Cornwall, but make it lively.
Ribby Hall Village – Lancashire
Ribby Hall Village is the overachiever of the holiday park world. There’s a tropical-style swimming pool with slides and splash features, adventure mini golf, an arcade for competitive streaks, and acres of landscaped grounds made for walking or whizzing around on a Segway. Golfers get their own championship course, and there’s even a small on-site zoo for animal encounters.
When it’s time to slow down, the spa steps in with hydrotherapy pools and indulgent treatments. And if you want full-throttle seaside nostalgia, Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach, tower and illuminations are just a short drive away.
Parkdean Resorts Trecco Bay – Bridgend
Trecco Bay is big. Properly big. One of the largest holiday parks in the UK, it comes armed with a vast indoor pool complex, flumes, splash zones and an entertainment venue that feels more like a mini arena. There’s always a show to catch or an activity to jump into.
Rest Bay is close by for surfers and sea-air seekers, while the Wales Coast Path dishes up long, breezy walks. It’s South Wales with the volume turned up.
Greenacres Holiday Park – Gwynedd
Where else can you do beach in the morning and mountains in the afternoon? Greenacres makes the most of its Snowdonia backdrop, with direct access to sand and sea on one side and epic peaks on the other.
On site, you’ve got indoor swimming, sports courts and evening entertainment to round off the day. Venture out and you’ll find zip lines, steam railways and hiking trails galore. This is the kind of park that sends you home happily exhausted.
Craig Tara Holiday Park – Ayrshire
Craig Tara comes with drama – it's perched on clifftops with wide-open views across the Firth of Clyde. The indoor pool complex is a star player, alongside adventure golf, climbing walls and a full programme of daily activities.
Evenings are all about the shows, with live performances that keep the atmosphere buzzing. Ayr’s sandy beach is just minutes away, and there’s plenty of Scottish history nearby if you fancy a castle with your coastal walk.
Seton Sands – East Lothian
Seton Sands keeps things lively without losing its laid-back coastal charm. Days can mean archery sessions, swimming and sports tournaments; nights bring family-friendly entertainment that gets everyone involved.
You’re right by a long sandy beach here – perfect for breezy walks and paddles – and Edinburgh is close enough for festival days, castle visits and big-city buzz. Seaside break, with a cultural side hustle.
With so much going on, you’ll never struggle to fill your days – and even if the weather has other ideas, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time away.
