I keep receiving a ‘no availability' message when I'm searching for activities to book, do you have any tips?
Don't worry, it might not mean that the activities you're interested in are already fully booked. Try widening your search: select ‘view all' on the date and time you want and then click ‘go'. If there is availability, you should be able to see it. If you still have no luck then try searching for the activity you want nearer the time you're due to stay with us – we update the site all the time and any cancellations will show as available spaces. If you're still experiencing difficulties, call us on 08448 262610.

Remember you can also check availability and book additional activities when you arrive at your village.

Can I reserve an activity or event?
You can, which makes it very easy when you are planning your itinerary and booking multiple activities. To reserve an activity or event online, select the date and time of what you want and then click the ‘add to basket' button. Your activity or event will be reserved for you in your holiday itinerary for 2 hours. Once the 2 hours have passed, the activity will no longer be in your itinerary and you'll have to start again. When you're ready to pay for your activities, simply go to the ‘check out' and click ‘confirm payment'.
