Does anyone else from Northern Ireland use this deal? I just cant get my head around how it would represent value by the time we pay the crazy ferry fares to get to England or Europe when you are only getting four days. What am I missing?

Northern Irish Sun version doesn't contain the Holiday tokens

In order to apply, please visit club950.co.uk/form to print a booking form.
Instead of collecting tokens you will need to send 10 differently dated mastheads from the front page of The Sun newspaper. We will then process your application as normal.

I've just had a worrying email from the sun. Before I asked on here how to book the two consecutive bookings I emailed them to ask and they've only just replied. They've told me you have to send in the application with two lots of tokens via mail in order to book consecutive breaks. I haven't been collecting the tokens because I thought you could book online. I'm hoping they've got this wrong or I'm going to have a very disappointed family ��

That's the official reply,and the only one The Sun would give you.
Unofficial reply is it is possible to book consecutive holidays to make a week but it's a gamble.
Once you've booked one part there's no guarantee of the second part still being available.

Hi there, thanks for the helpful post of code words!
I have my priority booking code so will be looking to get booked up as soon as I can.
Do you have any particulary good sites you would recommend in the Yorkshire, Lincolnshire or North West areas?
Thanks

We've been to Southview in Skegness 3 times (when it was just Park Resorts) and it was great for our son he was 6 first time we went.

We did it in the summer to France and went Monday to Monday! I think France actually gave the option of a full 7 day break then but I booked just the Monday to Friday and instantly wished I'd gone for the full 7 day so logged back in and managed to add the weekend too. So glad we did - would have been a very long drive for just the 4 nights and the resort was fab

Combining booking is handled by the holiday parks, not the Sun. I book online, then ask if it's possible when I phone the park to pay the compulsory service charge and optional entertainment passes and linen charges. I've never been turned down, but parks normally charge for it (£20 for my bookings at Parkdean Trecco Bay that I booked via the Daily Mail Offer). I normally decline then ask reception to do it at the park when I check in. It's worked very time and i've never been charged (but it's not a certainty).

If you're willing to take the gamble best way to do it is book the one you'd prefer to have first if it did go wrong
Ie Friday to Monday or Monday to Friday then go for the second part after that

I asked at Butlins Bognor at reception if my week could be in the same Chalet,they said there was no guarantee so we packed on the Friday,took our suitcases to the left luggage room.
We spent the day as normal swimming funfair and lunch at Witherspoon.
6 hours later we booked in and was given the exact same Chalet
On the plus side it had been cleaned 😁
