HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Sept. 18, 2012) - It's hard to think that just as you have packed the kids back off to school there's another school break just around the corner to plan for.

But you don't need to panic as an October half term break at Haven is crammed with plenty of activities with lots included in the price. The indoor pools are heated and the majority have the added fun of flumes or slides. All have water sporting activities on offer including Water Walkerz and Aquajet Racers - around £6 a go but pre-purchase Activity Passes and you will save up to 25%. There's free football coaching, free fun inflatables and for little ones there's free water confidence and mini tennis, archery and fencing sessions. The kids clubs are free and offer a range of activities each day for different age ranges. As it's combined with Halloween there's a bit of a spooky theme to the fun lined up for families including Polly's 'spooktacular' Fancy Dress Ball, Trick or Treat Treasure hunts and Spooky face painting.

Funstar Liam Bailey at Marton Mere has suggested that you pack the following into your suitcase so that you don't miss out on any of the fun.

• A fancy dress costume for Polly's 'spooktacular' ball - get all the family involved ... it's not just for kids.
  
  
• Welly boots and a 'Pack a Mac', after the wettest summer in 100 years we have all learnt you can't rely on the weather! But having the right footwear means the kids can do a bit of puddle jumping and are also fully kitted out to join in the walks and pumpkin/trick or treat treasure hunts.

And the best part is with 35 parks from Haven family holidays to choose from you won't have too far to travel either.

Prices start at just £159 for a three night break in a 'Superior' self-catering holiday home for a family of up to six people arriving on October 22nd - with deals from £219 for seven nights in similar accommodation from 19 Oct.
