Safe, spacious and full of fun — a relaxing UK family friendly holiday

A family friendly holiday in the UK should be easy-going, comfortable, and full of ways to spend quality time together — and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Kingfisher Holiday Park near Alrewas in Staffordshire. Whether you’re travelling with toddlers or teens, this peaceful countryside park offers the perfect mix of freedom, activities and home comforts.

Located beside the canal at Fradley Junction, Kingfisher Holiday Park sits in a tranquil setting where children have space to roam and adults can properly unwind. It’s ideal for families seeking a stress-free break that balances fun with relaxation.

Safe and Spacious for Children

When booking a family holiday, safety and space matter — and Kingfisher delivers on both. The park is gated and free from through traffic, offering a quiet, secure environment where children can play freely.

There’s plenty of room to explore, with wide grassy areas, paved paths for bikes and scooters, and a children’s play area featuring a large slide, swings, seesaw and climbing frames, all built over deep bark for safety. Parents can relax on the nearby seating while little ones burn off energy.

For older children, the unsupervised games room is open daily from 10am to 9pm and includes a pool table (£1 per play) and classic arcade cabinets — great for a bit of nostalgic fun or friendly competition.

Free Family Activities On Site

Kingfisher Holiday Park is packed with free on-site activities that cater to all interests and weather:

• Heated indoor swimming pool (advance booking required)
• Free fishing on a well-stocked lake (pike, bream, and bronze bream are commonly seen)
• Tennis court – full-sized hard surface, with free racket and ball hire
• Crown green bowling – cut weekly, with free use of woods and jacks
• Table tennis
• Lakeside nature walk – a ¼-mile stone-surfaced circular route with regular sightings of rabbits, squirrels, and hawks

Fishing guests must use barbless hooks, no keepnets, and ensure they have a valid rod licence. The lake has 23 wheelchair-accessible fishing pegs, making it inclusive for all.

With so much to do on site, families can enjoy active, varied days without needing to travel far — though plenty of nearby attractions await if you do fancy a day out.
