Six weeks. Endless memories. One incredible place to be.
For kids, parents, grandparents and the gloriously young at heart, the countdown to the summer holidays is on.
You can almost hear that final bell ringing, and see the excitement in the children’s faces. Here at Potters, we hear that bell too. And while you might never be quite ready for it, you can be 100% sure we are.
For six whole weeks, our resort on the beautiful Norfolk coast at Hopton-on-Sea transforms into the ultimate playground for all ages and interests. It’s the Potters you know and love — just bigger, brighter and bursting with even more energy.
And in 2026, those long days in the sunshine are set to be packed with even more memories, as detailed below. From new activities and evening entertainment, to feel-good family fun that’s set to fill the room with laughter, quality time together at Potters is the only time that counts.
Kids vs Adults
This SummerOfFun, it’s time to settle the score…
No picking sides. If you’re a grown-up, you’re on Team Adults. If you’re not, you’re on Team Kids. All summer long, families will rack up points across the resort, taking part in hosted challenges built into activities and entertainment, then scoring even more with self-led tasks you can tackle in your own time.
Every go counts. Every win adds more. And the scoreboard keeps it honest.
Whether you’re quizzing, climbing, dancing, aiming or whatever else you can enjoy in your daily programme, everyone gets their moment.
Just one of the ways you can grab some points is at Live ‘N’ Loud — a brand-new family game show, created exclusively for #SummerOfFun!
Designed for all ages, and packed with energy, laughter, and friendly competition, this interactive experience invites families to play side by side, take on exciting challenges, and earn points in a fast-paced, professionally hosted format.
With quick-fire rounds, unexpected twists, and plenty of audience participation, no two shows are ever quite the same.
It’s feel-good, family fun at its best — and a must-do highlight of your holiday.
And at the end of your break, it all comes down to one moment. Will the Kids be celebrating victory, or will the Adults prove they’ve still got it?
(No special skills required. It’s just proper family fun that gets everyone involved.)
Your Mission Starts Now
Brand new for 2026, Spy School is one of the most immersive and memorable additions to Family Breaks at Potters. Having launched during February’s Half Term, it has quickly established itself as one of the must-do highlights for #SummerOfFun.
From the moment you step into The Atlas Theatre, atmospheric lighting, dramatic graphics and pulse-raising sound effects set the scene for an undercover operation like no other. Leading the charge are two experienced agents, who waste no time recruiting the next generation of secret operatives.
Wes Jones, Head of Entertainment at Hopton-on-Sea, says: “Spy School’s Boot Camp gets things underway, with young recruits leaping, freezing, ducking and diving as they’re put through their paces. It’s fast, funny and brilliantly interactive — the perfect way to burn off energy while building teamwork and confidence.”
Before long, the recruits receive their very first mission. Urgent updates and fresh evidence land throughout the session as kids make friends and work together to uncover a ruthless double agent who is plotting to steal the priceless Amazon Crown Jewels.
Piece by piece, children decipher clues, solve puzzles and take on hands-on spy challenges designed to test observation, logic and quick thinking. As the suspect list narrows, the tension builds. And so does the excitement.
All the while, grown-ups can take a well-earned pause. With the action unfolding safely in front of you, it’s the perfect time to grab a coffee, settle into a seat and enjoy watching your children light up with inspiration. For adults, Spy School is another opportunity to see them fully immersed — confident, engaged and working together.
And when the double agent is finally foiled? There’s time for celebratory photos with our agents and the all-important Spy School certificate. Proof that your young recruit has officially earned their stripes.
Packed with excitement, mystery, twists, and teamwork, Spy School isn’t just another activity. It’s a shared adventure, a confidence boost and, most importantly, a holiday memory — all rolled into one unforgettable hour.

Whether it’s giggles over a story at the dinner table, or the satisfied sighs as tired heads rest after another packed day of fun, here at Hopton-on-Sea this summer, every “Yes” is a moment the whole family will cherish forever.
