Haven Holidays

The current Haven chain is formed from a number of acquisitions by its former brands, including Warner Holiday Camps (now trading as Warner Hotels). By 1992, all the self-catering Warner Camps were under the Haven banner. Even though most Haven Parks were self-catering, full board and half board were available at Caister and Duporth. By 1996, Haven had reached 49 holiday parks under its banner and parks divided into three different categories; All Action Centres, Family Parks and Character Villages. Five parks now offered full and half-board holidays: Caister, (the only All Action Centre to so), Mill Rythe, Harcourt Sands, Lyme Bay and Duporth.

By 2000, the number of Haven Holiday Parks had reached 56; by this time, there were now only three parks that offered just half board holidays: Caister, Hafan Y Mor and Craig Tara. Parks now came under four categories and were defined by four different colours, All Action Parks (red), Lively Parks (blue), Leisurely Parks (yellow) and Relaxing Parks (green); these colours formed part of the ribbon logo introduced in 1999. Part of the ribbon was then replaced between 2004 and 2007 by the British Holidays logo as Haven and British Holidays began to merge. Each holiday park category would reflect what type of entertainment and activities would take place at park and also reflect the park's size. After deciding to focus more on its gaming operations such as Mecca Bingo, the Rank Group decided to sell its holiday arm. In October 2000, Bourne Leisure purchased part of the Rank Group's UK leisure arm, Rank Leisure, for £700 million, which included Haven and its sister brand Haven Europe (now known as Siblu), Butlins, Warner Hotels and Oasis Forest Holiday Villages, which were sold to Center Parcs.

Haven is known for its entertainment under the slogan of 'Haven Entertains'. There were entertainers at all parks, the number of which depended on the size of the park. Its resident entertainers were known as Havenmates, and were famous for their stripped deckchair design jackets. After the sale of Haven to Bourne Leisure in 2000, the entertainers were renamed Funstars, the same name given to the entertainers at British Holidays camps. Bradley Bear was also introduced to the Tiger Club, and Rory and Bradley's Funtime was introduced. Over recent years, the Entertainment branding has undergone further changes, with the introduction of Haven Theatre Company, when Thornwick Bay opened with a number of larger parks adopting this branding, while other parks retained the Funstar branding. Recently, this has been changed to Entertainment Cast and Animation Hosts. As part of a £110 million investment into leisure facilities, more modern flexible spaces were introduced, with Entertainment Venues becoming Marina Bar and Stages, unfortunately reducing the amount of entertainment venues on offer.

Following the purchase of Haven by Bourne Leisure, Haven decided to restructure both Haven and British Holidays and sold off many of their smaller holiday parks. Twelve of these smaller parks which were subject to a management buyout and went on to form a new holiday company; Park Resorts, while other parks were sold to Parkdean Holidays and Park Holidays UK, with Park Resorts and Parkdean later merging themselves to form Parkdean Resorts. Haven and British Holidays both retained their larger parks and Bourne Leisure began integrating them from 2002 onwards, trading entertainment and facilities between the two brands. Haven adopted much of the standardised branding used by British Holidays for its facilities since 1997; such as FunWorks (main entertainment complexes), ShowBar (live entertainment clubs) SplashZone (indoor and outdoor pools), SportZone (outdoor sports areas), FoodWorks (fast food outlets) and Oasis (table service restaurants) with some of this branding still used at some parks. The two companies eventually merged in November 2004 under the name 'Haven and British Holidays'. Due to Haven being the better known name, the British Holidays identity was eventually dropped completely by the end of the 2007 season.

The Tiger Club

Before the start of the 2026 season it was announced that the Tiger Club would return to Haven parks. It is set to return as a show format but bringing back the famous Tiger Club song and dance.

Seasiders

In 1996, Haven was the focus of a Channel 4 fly-on-the-wall documentary series called Seasiders. The series was filmed over the 1995 season and broadcast in 1996. The series follows the ups and downs of the Havenmate team at Primrose Valley from Auditions to National Finals at the end of the season. The series also featured other departments on the park, but primarily focused on the Havenmates for the season.

In 2007, Bourne Leisure purchased Far Grange Park & Golf Club. The park was initially a Haven site for both holidaymakers and caravan owners, as seen in the 2008 brochure. However, after just one season, the park became owners only.

In April 2015, Bourne Leisure purchased the Thornwick & Sea Farm Holiday Centre and Greenacre West caravan parks from Flamborough Holidays Ltd; Thornwick & Sea Farm holiday centre's complex was redeveloped for the 2016 season and was rebranded 'Thornwick Bay'.

In 2019, Haven ventured into a new type of resort with the purchase of Celtic Haven Spa Holiday Cottage Resort in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The Resort has 30 onsite self-catering cottages, an Elemis Spa, an indoor swimming pool with entertainment and marine facilities shared with its sister park, Lydstep Beach Holiday Village. Both resorts are situated in the village of Lydstep and Celtic Haven resort is the first in the Haven brand to operate 365 days a year. As of 2026 Celtic Haven is now fully merged with Lydstep Beach and now known as Lydstep Beach "The Cottages".

It was announced on 23 February 2022 that Haven had completed the acquisition of its first park since being taken over by Blackstone; a previously family-run site in Skegness named Richmond Holiday Centre, which, since the 2023 season, has been renamed Skegness Holiday Park. The park offers more than 700 pitches of accommodation, a swimming pool and entertainment venues and restaurants, and is located not far from Skegness Beach. It is also Haven's first Holiday Park in Skegness since owning Coastfield.
