For those who prefer a peaceful Autumn escape, to enjoy the stunning, colourful beauty of South Cumbria and Lancashire, they also offer family holidays.

Holgates’ holiday parks have a range of accommodation for every budget, from lodges to self-catered cottages and glamping pods.

“Halloween is one of the final times many enjoy the freedom of their own touring caravan or motorhome before Christmas, so we hope that many of our guests make the most of it and join in the fun,” says Michael Holgate from Holgates Holiday Parks.              

There’s action-packed excursions in nature and peaceful family getaways, check out adrenaline-filled mountain biking, kayaking trips,  or cultural experiences like art galleries and theatre shows.
