HOPTON 2008

By Park Moderator - Lisa

Hopton holiday village is on the Norfolk beautiful coast, which is midway between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. It is a fun packed leisure park with endless sports, activities and entertainment! There is a great atmosphere at Hopton with masses of fun for all the family to enjoy each day, along with fabulous entertainment in the night-time. At Hopton I think that it has got pretty much everything that you could wish for!! It has got a showbar, boardwalk, oasis restaurants along with two Chinese and fishnchip, funwork acarades along with two other arcade parks - stardust and Bubbles. It also has a indoor and outdoor swimming pool, two outdoors parks, indoor play-area, bowling area, outdoor bowl, crazy golf, golf course, Bradley and Rory fun area (inflated fun and go-carts)crazy bikes/cars and much much more!!! Oh and not forgetting the gorgeous private beach!!!

I have been an owner at Hopton holiday village for 8 years now and been a moderator for 2 years. I love going up to the van, there so much to do, made loads of friends with owners, staff and of course the funstars. I enjoy going down the club at night time the most or spending money in the arcades. Hopton is such a friendly place, all the staff and owners are lovely, and everybody knows everyone and it great!! They make everyone very welcomed, and make it feel like our second home, with a second family!! But most of all, the important people are the funstars!!! Hopton is not completed without the wonderful funstars!!! We have had brilliant funstars over the last 8 years and I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work to keep us entertained!!. During the peak season, there are extra entertainments which are fab. These include wrestling, panto, robot wars, circus and this year high school musical. Another thing that gets people going are the famous party dances, they are fun, energetic but also some are tricky and fast!!

There are also a variety of things to do off park too. You can go to the local town centres – Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Norwich, and Gorleston, where there are plenty of restaurants and of course shopping!!!! Here is a list of a few other attractions and things to do:
