    Is there a uk/regional map of the parks anywhere rather than a list? Will make picking 3rd/4th choice parks easier

    Cheers

    Cheers essex boy, not seeing a map though? I was hoping for a google type map showing all parks in NE,NW, Yorks & Lincs, so i can shortlist a few options that aren't too far a drive from home in Darlington, rather than having to click on each one to find out where it is. Ideally looking for the southern part of NE, North Yorks or the lake district, though i'm gonna try for Skeggy Butlins too.

    I'd like this as well, I know there used to be a map few years back.

    Hi all,
    It's been a while since I've booked a Sun holiday. If I was to book a mid week if I wanted to extend to a 7 day break once booking confirmation received would it run from Sat-Sat? Also wondered if anyone had extended via Parkdean before? Would be interested to know roughly how much it would cost to extend to 7 days.

    Thanks

    Depends when you're going.
    Booking is Monday to Monday for a week.
    If you have a priority code you could risk booking both online.
    Problem is one could be booked then the other following date not available.
    If it is available cost is the £9.50 or £15 per person doubled,then..

    Service Charge £7 per unit per night
    Entertainment Plus Pass £4 per person per £9.50 break - £4.50 per person per £15 break - Under 2s FREE - Passes FREE on breaks starting 6, 10 October

    This is what the Sun says about it..


    You will need an application form for each accommodation required (e.g. 1 application form for the 4-night break and 1 application form for the 3-night break).
    You will also need a set of newspaper tokens for each application form.
    Complete both application forms with the party details (the same address/member/park details on both)
    Write your choice of holiday start dates on the first form, and the consecutive dates on the second form.
    Staple the forms together. Attach a covering letter explaining that you want to go on holiday for a week.
    Attach the payment and send both forms and payment IN ONE ENVELOPE.

    I'm fairly sure when I've booked it before the park have allowed me to convert a Monday-Friday break to a Sat-Sat break - is that not still the case?

    Only the site could do that.
    The Sun says Monday -Friday-Monday and no exceptions.

    Unfortunately we are unable to change or cancel a booking once it has been received. The terms and conditions of the promotions state: “ABSOLUTELY NO AMENDMENTS WHATSOEVER can be made by you after your holiday application has been received by us”
