It’s a time that can fill you with both excitement and a tinge of dread. Yep, the summer holidays are just around the corner and at Potters Resorts, we’re ticking all the boxes!
For many of us, the school holidays mean fun and games with the kids and grandkids, and our #SummerOfFun at Hopton-on-Sea is perfect for an All-Inclusive getaway for all ages.
But, you’d be forgiven for seeking a peaceful treat away from it all too…
All-Inclusive Breaks at Five Lakes are Exclusively for Adults all year round. It’s a peaceful retreat in the beautiful Essex countryside whatever the season, but especially in the summer holidays!
Your adults’ playground offers a huge choice of activities, entertainment, hobbies, crafts and sports, across 320 acres of peaceful Essex countryside.
With plenty of hilarity to brighten already sunny days on The Garden Terrace, rally karts, archery, laser clays, air rifle shooting, the boating lake, golf, our indoor sports park and so much more, you’re guaranteed to enjoy fun and relaxed days in our wide open spaces.
But we’re constantly developing new memorable and groundbreaking experiences, adding even more fun, excitement and laughter to an already bustling programme! And this summer is no different…

RC Balloon Jousting
Picture four valiant contestants, armed with remote-controlled cars equipped with a lance and coloured balloon… and let the chaos commence! Enter our jousting arena and pop your rival’s balloon, along with their dreams of becoming a champion. Precision and agility are the keys to success as you aim to outwit and outmanoeuvre your adversary!
Clout Archery
This traditional form of archery involves shooting arrows at a distant target on the ground, rather than a conventional bullseye-style target.
The target, known as a “clout,” is placed horizontally while archers aim to land their arrows as close to the clout as possible. It requires precision, distance judgement, and skillful trajectory calculation.
Fun Axe Throwing
Experience the thrill of traditional axe throwing with lightweight, rubber axes designed for all ages and abilities.
With targets creating friendly competition, this activity is a great way to improve hand-eye coordination and for many, will be something new to try for very the first time!
And there’s more…
The fun won’t end at Five Lakes this summer, with even more additions to our bustling programme and list of activities.
If you struggle on the doubles, why not try your hand on our Inflatable Dart Board instead? And, for the navigator in you, why not give our Treasure Hunt a go?
We’ve also finished work on our Crazy Golf course at Five Lakes, you can take on our Soar & Score challenge for good causes, and don’t miss your opportunity to Beat the Entertainer in a hilarious new activity with our larger-than-life team.
It’s all happening here at our Adults’ playground this summer, so what are you waiting for?
Come and join us in the glorious Essex countryside at Five Lakes!
