Christmas is a truly magical time of year, and what better way to celebrate the season than going away for a little while to enjoy some quiet time. Well, Glaswegians can soon escape the busy city to two brand new Haven caravan parks, beloved around the country.
Set to open from Christmas and Hogmanay, the two caravan parks are located at Craig Tara in Ayr, under an hour from Glasgow, as well as in Seton Sands in Prestonpans near Edinburgh. Plus, every park boasts a pool for everyone to enjoy!
As the new Haven caravan parks are opening during the festive period, guests can expect magical decorations, boasting plenty of family activities with a chance to meet Santa and access to the pools. What is more, those looking to spend Hogmanay away from home can expect a New Year’s Eve show to ring in the bells.
Simon Palethorpe, CEO of Haven, said: “This August, we’re welcoming record numbers of visitors to our parks, and we’re delighted Father Christmas is amongst them – though we had to remind him to swap his sleigh for a sunhat and to slap on the sunscreen. Christmas and Hogmanay at Haven is truly magical.
“Whichever Park you choose, I’m confident you’ll experience an unforgettable festive feeling. Whether it’s waking up in your cosy caravan on Christmas morning, singing Auld Lang Syne in the show bar on Hogmanay, the live festive entertainment, eating lunch in one of our restaurants or simply spending quality time together in a wonderful coastal setting. I can’t think of anywhere better to be first-footing.”
Planning consultants Laister said in a planning document: “The addition of 20 caravans in the context of the overall permitted number of units across the park is so insignificant that it would not result in an on-site change to the definable character of the use of the land.
“The total number of permitted caravans across the site would rise to 1494, an increase of 1.4 per cent on the existing limits, which falls well within the percentage change parameters of a number of recent appeal decisions.”
