The British holiday park chain that is spending £50 million upgrading its locations

One of the UK’s most popular holiday parks – Parkdean – is about to get even bigger and better. 

If you’ve been on holiday at one of Parkdean’s 65 UK resorts, which are spread from Land’s End to Inverness, you’ll probably be familiar with their abundance of family-friendly activities – from bungee trampolining to arts and crafts. More than three million Brits have visited Parkdean holiday destinations in the past year. 

Now Parkdean has announced an enormous £50 million upgrade which will be spread across many of its parks. Here are the locations that have been confirmed to receive glow-ups so far.

Which Parkdean holiday parks that are being upgraded

Both Vauxhall Holiday Park in Great Yarmouth and Highfield Grange Holiday Park in Essex will get a £5 million cash injection for improvements. These will include a new sports bar concept called Hat-Tricks, which will have darts, shuffle board and classic sports bar food and drinks. The parks will also see the addition of indoor adventure golf and Bear Grylls escape rooms, as well as expansions of the Tots Zones – to both the indoor and outdoor play zones, as well as the high rope courses. 

The upgrades should be ready in time for the summer holidays, and hopefully even Easter half-term, as they will arrive in in the spring 2026. 

More announcements about which other parks will receive upgrades are expected to come. 

Parkdean’s chief executive Steve Richards said: ‘In 2026 we will be investing approximately £50m in our holiday parks to improve facilities, elevate guest experience, and keep families coming back to these fantastic locations throughout the UK.

‘Next year guests will see Highfield Grange and Vauxhall transformed with major investments to upgrade and diversify the on-park activities. We are excited to welcome guests to see all that these parks have to offer next year.’
