The UK holiday specialist said despite recent changes to the government’s lockdown restrictions, “the safety of our guests, owners and team members remains our number one priority” and as a result keeping its locations closed “is the right thing to do”.

“We appreciate how disappointing this decision will be for those families that were due to stay with us during this time and wish we could have offered them the Haven experience they were so excited for,” a spokesperson said.

“We’d like to apologise for the disruption caused by the extended closure and hope guests can understand the reason for our decision.

Have said it was contacting affected customers and encouraged guests to continue to check its website and social media channels for further updates.

“Thank you to our guests, owners and teams for their continued patience and support during what is undoubtedly a very tough time for so many. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our parks as soon as we feel it’s safe to do so,” the spokesperson added.
