Family holidays during the October half term are the perfect time to enjoy Autumn walks in the great outdoors with family and friends. Holgates’ holiday parks have a range of accommodation for every budget, from lodges to self-catered cottages and glamping pods.

Holgates flagship holiday park at Silverdale on the Lancashire Cumbria border has a Halloween disco lined up for Saturday, October 26 where spooky fancy dress will be the order of the day.

The Ribble Valley Holiday Park in Lancashire promises a range of spooky activities including a scary park walk and pumpkin carving throughout its Halloween weekend.

Touring caravan and holiday home visitors and owners across the Holgates sites are encouraged to join the seasonal fun and decorate their caravans with eerie Halloween decorations. “Halloween is one of the final times many enjoy the freedom of their own touring caravan or motorhome before Christmas, so we hope that many of our guests make the most of it and join in the fun,” says Michael Holgate from Holgates Holiday Parks.The Holgates Family Group owns ten holiday parks in scenic locations around Lancashire and Cumbria.
