    SITE INFORMATION

    Focus will be held at Haven’s Golden Sands Holiday Park in Mablethorpe, on the Lincolnshire coast.

    The site is 4 hours drive from London, on the Lincolnshire Coast just north of Skegness. The local town is called Mablethorpe, 15 minutes walk down the road from the site. The town has everything we will need from supermarkets to pharmacies; pubs to donkey rides on the beach. The site is across the road from the beach and there is plenty of room for games of touch, volleyball, boules, or just having a swim.
