HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1

Collect SEVEN tokens OR SEVEN Sun Savers codes from The Sun between Saturday, August 17 and Saturday, August 31.

STEP 2

Whilst collecting, check out the parks and choose your four favourite parks and four dates.

STEP 3

Once you have your tokens, click BOOK NOW in the menu above and enter the codewords from the tokens. If collecting Sun Savers codes, book in the app or at sunsavers.co.uk. You’ll need four park choices and four start dates, your party details and a credit/debit card. You’ll be able to search which holidays are available and get on-screen booking confirmation.

STEP 4

You’ll receive confirmation from your park either by email or post. Extras such as service charges or optional entertainment/clubroom pass charges need to be paid directly to your park.

Service charges may apply at your selected park and date. The charge is primarily for pre-arrival cleaning of your holiday home, and heat and light are included. These range from £4.50 to £15 per unit per night (pupn). You will be charged directly by your park.

BUTLIN’S ROOM ONLY

If you’re going half board or you’ll be eating out, Butlin’s are offering FREE service charge at all their resorts in Room Only accommodation. No lounge or kitchen facilities but a great deal and ideal for half board or the fantastic range of dining options on the resort.

ENTERTAINMENT AND CLUBROOM PASSES

These apply at some parks – these give you access to facilities such as entertainment centres, ballrooms, bars and indoor swimming pools. Charges range from £3 to £30 per person per break (pppb). You will be charged directly by your park but remember, these passes are optional.

FABULOUS ENTERTAINMENT

If you want an activity holiday, look out for parks with entertainment plus passes. These offer an entertaining, all-action holiday for all the family. There are kids’ clubs, plus live cabaret, music, entertainers and discos in the evening. An optional charge may apply.

• Preschool age kids are welcome, with loads of entertainment for little ones to choose from including discos, character meet-and-greets
• We host adult-only parties. Look out for parks with leisure spas, tennis and golf, glitzy night-time entertainment and great bars
• Some breaks are great for people looking for a relaxing retreat. Take a midweek break when the parks are quieter and the very best deals are available

PEAK DATE SUPPLEMENTS

For the very best deal, choose parks and dates where there are NO EXTRAS to pay, NO supplements and NO Service Charges. Any charges that apply are clearly shown under each park listing.

Peak Date Supplements of £3.50 or £6 per person per break (pppb) apply on some dates at some parks. Online bookers will pay any peak date supplements at the time of booking. Postal applicants will be charged directly by your park.

Some parks give you a break from the kitchen. Half-board is between £12.95 and £19.95 per person per night, based on a minimum of four people sharing. Your accommodation for catered holidays is on a ‘room only’ basis so there are no self-catering kitchen facilities. Supplements will be charged by your holiday park.

FAQs

  • How do I book by post?
    If you've not got one already, print a booking form. Enter your 4 park choices and 4 start dates. If you’re happy to go to ANY park in an area, or have more than 4 date choices, indicate this on the form. Please make a record of your park and date choices and keep this safe. Make out a cheque or postal order for £9.50 per person (including children and babies), payable to UK Holidays in The Sun. Write your name and address on the back and staple/clip this to your form. Do not send cash and do not include payment for entertainment/clubroom passes, service charges, peak date supplements or upgrades. Unsuccessful applicants will get their payments back. Retain postal order counterfoils as you will need these to cash the postal orders if we have to return your payment. Once completed, send the form, payment and tokens to the address on the form. If you require wheelchair access accommodation, which may be limited, please attach a note to your form. Note: insurance cannot be included with postal booking.
