Pagham holiday park extends closure due to pandemic

The company, which runs a holiday park at Church Farm in Pagham, said it was ‘the right thing to do’.

A spokesman said: “Despite recent changes to the Government’s lockdown restrictions, the safety of our guests and team remains our number one priority and so under the ongoing circumstances, we believe keeping our parks 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.

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

“We are in the process of contacting all those affected with the new options available to them and would encourage guests to continue to check both our website and social media channels for additional updates.

“Thank you to our guests 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.”
