I'm in Hopton in Norfolk to check out Hopton Holiday Village and a full tour of the park as they prepare for the new season. I'll check out the heated indoor and outdoor pool complex which has a Splash Zone and fantastic flumes, Archery Coaching, Adventure Golf, tennis and a 9-hole golf course. The Marina Bar and Stage and a multi million pound investment to save the beach!
Hopton Holiday Village is owned by Haven Holidays (they have NOT sponsored this video)

Thank you for giving Hopton Pharmacy a shout out! It’s the only pharmacy in Hopton and useful for those holiday makers who always seem to forget to pack their medication when going on holiday.

Unfortunately I need to find somewhere where to work that was all year round. The staff I worked with were some of the best ppl I have met. I'm so pleased for the great review. Injoying all your videos.

I remember when it was Holimarine as well ,we first went in 1979 when it was much smaller. Went many more times and we were there when Live Aid was happening,watched it in The entertainment lounge which was called either the Norfolk lounge or the Suffolk lounge. Last went in 2011 the changes were significant and looks like there have been more since. Great little village and not far from Great Yarmouth.

Hello Tim. I was quite surprised to see this today. They have made some major improvements over the years on that site. Good to see they are tackling the erosion. Just missed the Supersonic and entertaining Gaby and yourself in Southwold the other Sunday afternoon, you must come back down the coast when things are open and less windy. Enjoying the videos! Thank you - David

I was staying at the park when the boulders were being offloaded. They had to be put in when the cliffs kept eroding and they nearly lost a few caravans one year. To the best of my knowledge the stone is Norwegian Granite. They could only bring it in dependent on tides, so sometimes they would be dumping it off the side of a flat bottomed barge/ship at 1am and the entire park would shake and rumble. It was a sight to see! Holidaying in Hopton twice a year for 5 years is the reason we moved to Norfolk from London/Essex. We explored the county and fell in love. I dont get over to that side as much as I would like. I do have a soft spot for Hopton and Gorleston. Also the plants at the Lake at Bullrushes.

I am so happy you've done a tour of this haven holiday park it's my favourite. My first visit was 2016 and I loved it. Then in 2019 i brought my fiance for his birthday and we are going to visit again this year with our son. It is a truly amazing park and it is beautiful. My fiance loves bubbles he thinks the family who own/run it are the nicest people. All in all this holiday park is our favourite and we cant wait to be back lazing around the beach and exploring great yarmouth again 😊 Tim you do an amazing job with your walks, you and Gabby are always a pleasure to watch and learn about the history of these seaside towns 💕😊

This video has brought back some wonderful memories that I'd forgotten! I remember Stardust and also the entertainment centre where it was open mic night and I karaoked myself hoarse. Thank you Tim, pure nostalgia 😊

I used to go here Vicky between 87 and 98... started off with my parents and then when I was old enough to "borrow" the caravan and go with my mates. Was some of the best times of my life without a doubt. I met so many awesome people, it would make a great reunion. Maybe even our paths crossed who knows. Great holiday park and so many good memories of the stardust and the Suffolk lounge :)

My Grandad's name used to be on a plaque on a bench at that bowling green. Shame it looks like they've removed those benches since then, but it was a long time ago. He used to own a caravan there before he passed away in 98. Then my nan had ownership for a time before selling it off. Also that pond seems to be one of the newest additions since my childhood, where there used to be a large park that I used to play a bit of kick about with a ball with my cousins.

If you think that’s a big park, you should visit Haggerston Castle near Berwick! It’s huge!

A nice Holiday Park-compared with the horrible pontins parks you’ve reviewed-where everything was either broken,closed,or in a dirty and dangerous condition !!

I’m so happy to see Hopton holiday village. Myself and my family are heading to Hopton in July. We have never been to Haven Hopton or to Norfolk so it’s all new to us. Can’t wait now! If you have any suggestions of places we should visit while we are there do let me know :) Thanks again.

Bullrushes! That is what those fluffy things are that you asked about. Once they get fed up with being long and brown they explode and scatter their fluffy seeds throughout the known universe, or at least the close vicinity. I went to Hopton when was a nipper but have no memory of it because that was around 60 years ago and a lot of stuff has happened since then. Looking at the beach I do wonder why my father took us there as there are far better beaches in the area, which you have kindly shown us.

Just been looking at some of the prices of those holiday homes at Hopton. Cor some of them are a bit expensive. You could go on a cruise for that.

We used to have our caravan on this park, it is a lovely place with great facilities and a lovely beach. Sadly they didn’t keep to their commitment of an owners area of the park which meant we had new neighbours (rentals) every week, some of whom were not very pleasant to be around 😳 We moved off to a private park in Kessingland after a few years
