Introducing our New Split Holiday HQ Programmes!
We asked, you told us, and we listened. We've recently launched our split programmes at 10 Holiday HQ venues, creating a more tailored experience for every age group.
With our Under 8s and Over 8s split groups, children will enjoy age-appropriate activities that build confidence, resilience and independence.
Under 8s will experience our themed weeks full of activities, while Over 8s take on structured competition, Zorb battles and arena-style team challenges. Two distinct programmes. One elevated Holiday HQ experience.
