Booking things to do

Booking things to do

It’s time to start building your dream itinerary! From 12 weeks before your arrival date, you can book activities, restaurants, spa sessions and treatments. Itinerary bookings can be made online using My Booking tab or in person at the Leisure Booking Desk. Booking sessions and restaurants in advance is the best way to avoid missing out! All bookings will be added into a shared itinerary in the ‘My booking’ section of your account, so that everyone can see which family members are busy doing what and where.

Hints and tips for booking things to do

Here are our top tips for booking things to do during your break:

  • Activity and restaurant bookings open 12 weeks before arrival
  • It’s best to pre-book to avoid missing out, particularly for popular slots such as early evening restaurant reservations
  • You can add activities and restaurants to your Favourites for a quick and easy booking process
  • Some children’s activities are parent-accompanied and some are non parent-accompanied, so check this before booking
  • You need to provide all guest details, including ages of children, before booking activities
  • Read the activity description and age, weight or height restrictions carefully before booking
  • For health and safety reasons, you can only book guests onto activities that are appropriate for their age group
  • Family and friends are welcome to join you on your break – all you need to do is pre-book our special Visitor Passes.

What to pack

  • We recommend checking the weather forecast – you might need wellies, waterproofs, and warm clothing
  • Bring comfortable shoes (such as trainers) for walking around the forest
  • We don’t provide a laundry service, so bring enough clothes for the full duration of your break
  • Remember to pack swim towels - or you can hire them from the Subtropical Swimming Paradise for £2 a day
  • Some of our restaurants provide free Ella’s Kitchen baby food – to help you save some room in your suitcase
  • If you’re bringing a baby, cots and highchairs are provided in your lodge, but you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
  • Our onsite supermarket, ParcMarket, is well-stocked with food, toiletries and essentials in case you forget anything
