    Will they do it again later in the year & include Italy/France/Spain does anyone know?

    Yes I think they will.

    Italy is included this year but only for previous applicants who have a priority reference number. The priority references can usually be bought off ebay for less than £20 if that's any help.

    I have no idea what the accommodation is like, never been abroad with this offer. I've looked at spain but never gone ahead with it because the flights are too expensive at the times I was looking at (I have children in school so I only book for school hols). The spain holidays were siblu which is a branch of haven holidays, if that's any help. I only really wanted a holiday near the theme park, so what I was looking at would be different to what you want.

    I searched Sun hol* & couldn't find anything
    So I searched priority ref* & still couldn't find anything.

    When you say Italy is included this year, do you mean later this year, not in the promo they are running now?

    THANK YOU

    My sister has received her priority booking form. Italy is included - but only for people who have booked before & have now received their priority booking form. It is included in this promotion - IF you have priority booking.

    OK, so how do I get one of these?
    Can I buy one on ebay?
    Is it transferable?

    THANK YOU

    Be grateful for any info on the Italy (when & where) so as I can see if its worth me buying (if they are transferable).

    Is that list above for one of those numbers?

    yes the list is taken from the prioirty booking info that got posted out, it says 'previous applicant exclusive' on the european pages. although i seem to remember they do this offer at the beginning of the year and they also do it later on when they then include summer holiday dates? am i right? so they may open up the europe holidays later on too?

    also, might be worth checking the price of booking direct with the parks before you book with the sun, we are thinking of going to butlins half board in july and with the sun it is £272.50 with all the extras (service charge, entertainment passes etc) and butlins online is £266.79!

    No it's mainly caravans or chalets.
