When we used to stay up it was so that we could possibly be amongst the first to book.
It was a race between the old Sun Perks booking Office and the Priority Bookers to see who could get access first.

With the new format it's no longer the case, Sun Savers VIP's get in first, then one day later Sun Savers without VIP access, then one day after that the normal booking office using Codewords.
There's not enough benefit in staying up anymore.

Is there any chance of getting the first week of the summer holidays (if those dates are in this year) without the sunsavers thing do you think? I actually missed the drama of waiting for the code and rushing to get booked last year :rotfl:

I’d be surprised if there would be much left.
Best thing to do would be to check the area availability for the dates you want and choose your sites from there.
We’re still waiting for the dates to be made public.

Thought I'd have a look into the priority booking and found these dates on the FAQ's

The random 4 letter and digit code system that the Sun have used for the final code word in recent years also means that there are now 1679616 possible combinations, good luck guessing that.

We should still get the final code word long before the masses however, thanks too forum members (here or elsewhere) who have access to the first edition of the newspaper.

Donna - looks like you've pasted the Fri-Mon dates twice for the £15 hols and not the Mon-Fri ones. They look like last year's dates to me though!?

In one of the park information pages I found the following:

Peak Date Supplement: £3.50 per person per break Mar 26, May 11, 18, Jun 1, Jul 6, 13, Oct 19, 26, 29; £6 per person per break Mar 30, Apr 2, 6, 9, May 4, 25, Jul 16, Aug 31, Oct 22
PAY ONLY £9.50 Nov 19, 23

Which gives some of the dates (and indicates the one I wanted, 28th May isn't available :-().

Those are the dates for the £9.50 hols, the summers dates are £15 hols ! These are also normally included in this promotion, although any dates that full in the school hol's, aren't normally included until the £15 holiday promotion in the spring.

Steeple Bay, Essex has this

per person per break Apr 13, May 11, 18, Jun 1, Jul 6, 13, Aug 31, Sep 3, Oct 19, 26; £6 per person per break Mar 30, Apr 2, 6, 9, May 4, 25, 28, Jul 16, 20, Aug 24, 27, Oct 22

I'd just copied the whole section from the FAQ's but didn't check the dates on my calendar sorry! I booked our £15 one to France in the January of 2016 which was for the first week of the holidays - but I seem to think we finished a bit earlier than other areas so that might be why. OH has said the packs have come in the post today so I'll have a look in there when I get in. Hopefully there will be some for July 23rd in this one or the spring one!
