January 3rd 2024.
It is with great sadness that Pontins announced the closure of their Southport Holiday Park today. After assessing the future viability of the park, they have come to the difficult decision to close their doors from Wednesday 3rd January 2024. This news has caused a lot of disruption for those who had already booked, including the kids’ rave company Rave Kidz.
The party brand’s manager, Amy, told The Agency that they had been bombarded with emails after Britannia Hotels announced the news. She described the situation as an ‘absolute nightmare’. With over a thousand emails and messages, they had to quickly make alternate arrangements for their February event. Fortunately, they were able to move their event to Norbreck Castle in Blackpool on the same dates and times.
The Southport closure follows the closure of two other Pontins sites, Prestatyn and Camber Sands, in November. The Southport destination was shut in the last 24 hours due to flooding by Storm Henk, but the closure has now been made permanent. Staff were told shortly before lunchtime that the site was shutting permanently.
On its website, Pontins apologised for any inconvenience caused. They understand that this news has caused disruption and distress for those who had already booked and they are deeply sorry.
