The season to be jolly is almost here, and we’re getting ready to sprinkle plenty of magic on your stay, and create memories to last a lifetime.
From Monday 10th November 2025, Potters Resorts at Hopton-on-Sea and Five Lakes will once again transform into a winter wonderland, welcoming guests for a season of laughter, togetherness, and festive magic.
And while the heart of every Potters break remains the same—all food, drinks, activities, sports, leisure, and West End–quality entertainment included in one simple price—this year, guests can look forward to a sprinkling of extra sparkle that makes our Fully Inclusive Festive Breaks more special than ever before.
The magic of Fully Inclusive
Whatever time of year you’re visiting Potters, you’re guaranteed that chance to relax, knowing there are no hidden extras, no awkward bills, and no decisions about whether to join in or sit out. It’s this freedom that allows guests to focus on what really matters—spending time together, reconnecting with loved ones, and creating memories.
And perhaps, over the festive season, that freedom is even more valued, whether it’s the delicious food you’ll tuck into four times a day—including that all-important turkey dinner with all the trimmings—or toasting to the season without worrying about who’s buying the next round.
Maybe it’s the yuletide fun at every turn, the laughter, relaxing leisure facilities, or evenings packed with West End–quality productions, live music, and comedy courtesy of the Potters Theatre Company.
And this year, that already unbeatable value is wrapped up with even more surprises and memorable moments under the tree.
Sparkling from the moment you arrive
As you pull into Potters this festive season, twinkling lights will set the scene for your break ahead. The familiar scent of heartwarming mulled wine and minced pies makes for a truly festive welcome, as will our team at reception, who are ready to make you feel at home.
Beautiful decorations adorn bars and restaurants, with subtle touches and centrepiece trees too—every corner has been touched by our busy team of elves.
The Garden Party, revamped for the festive season, is set to kick every break to the end of the year off in style, and before your first delicious dinner, join us as we light our biggest tree. If the festive magic wasn’t already apparent, this special moment marks the start of your break with style and festive cheer.
You may not have even unpacked yet, but you’ll feel like you’ve stepped straight into a Christmas card. And that’s just the beginning.
Festive fun by day
Throughout your packed programme, festive twists add cheer to classic Potters favourites. Take a crack at some Christmas croquet, test your aim with snowballs, or try your hand at Hook the Reindeer. Race around snow-topped Scalextric tracks, and aim for festive targets at air rifle and archery. Even the popular Target Strike Showdown at Hopton-on-Sea is set to get a Christmas makeover!
Crafts take on a truly festive feel, with Christmas tote bags, ceramic fireplaces, and twist and bloom poinsettia sessions—a great gift for someone special on your list this year, or as an addition to your mantelpiece. If you’re a puzzle fan, you can work together over the course of your break on a Christmas scene jigsaw or, to get the heart pumping, new VR experiences will take you on a virtual Christmas journey.
And of course, fun in The Garden Bar is guaranteed, as our team gets you in the spirit of things with new Christmas versions of I’m an Entertainer, Finish the Lyric, the Christmas Cracker Gameshow, and guessing those old festive TV adverts, to name just a few.
And while you’re enjoying all the fun, you can indulge in some delicious seasonal additions to our inclusive drinks menu, from heartwarming coffees to festive tipples!
Dress to impress
The sight of our team on festive breaks past wearing jumpers, antlers and santa hats is a familiar one. But this year, we’d love to see that festive vibe from you too…
Whether it’s your glitziest and most hilarious Christmas jumper, or a full-on festive outfit, we want to see that seasonal spirit—because we’ll be on the hunt for the best dressed with spot prizes for the most festive of you. And remember to keep an eye out for those yellow badges too!
If you want to capture the moment, snap a keepsake at the festive photopod or take a cheeky selfie with an eflie—either way, it’ll be a fun memento of quality time together this festive season.
Your soundtrack to Christmas
Evenings at Potters Resorts are always spectacular, but the festive season takes things to another level. The Potters Theatre Company will debut their brand-new Christmas show, A Century of Christmas, tracing those timeless classics through the decades.
You can make your own music alongside fellow guests at a hilarious bell-ringing session, or for those who like to party, the Silent Disco will have a new festive channel.
Meanwhile, our traditional Christmas Countdown Party is the perfect way to let your hair down before heading back to your cosy accommodation.
Make it one to remember
We’re ready to welcome you for the most inclusive, value-packed, and joy-filled festive season yet. With every meal, every drink, every activity, and every show included in one simple price—not to mention all the extra Christmas magic sprinkled in—it’s an experience you won’t find anywhere else in the UK. Because at Potters, Christmas isn’t just celebrated—it’s lived, shared, and remembered for years to come.
So this festive season, swap the stress for sparkle, the shopping lists for laughter, and the bills for one fully inclusive experience.
Step into the warmth of Potters, where the magic of Christmas truly comes alive.
Fully Inclusive Festive Breaks at Hopton-on-Sea and Five Lakes commence from Monday 10th November 2025, through to Friday 2nd January 2026.
You can get your plans in place for a festive getaway to remember, right here.
