Haven has announced the names of its four new J D Wetherspoon pubs, located at Cala Gran in Blackpool, Hopton in Norfolk, Lakeland in Cumbria and Riviere Sands in Cornwall. The first pub to open is The Alfred Wainwright at Haven’s Lakeland holiday park in Cumbria.
Named after Alfred Wainwright, the British fell walker, his maps have become the standard reference work for the Lake District’s 214 fells. The Springfield at Haven’s Cala Gran holiday park in Blackpool, is named after Springfield House which stood on what is now the main entrance to the park in the 1960s.
Cornwall-based holiday park, Riviere Sands will see its new J D Wetherspoon pub, The Bluff, retain its original name which refers to the steep bank or cliff edge where the venue is located, offering prominent views over the coastline. And finally, The White Clover at Haven Hopton is named after the flower grown across Norfolk, representing good luck.
Nine Haven parks now have onsite J D Wetherspoon pub, following an exclusive operating agreement signed in 2024 with the first pub launching at Primrose Valley.
- The Five Stones: Primrose Valley, Yorkshire
- The Red Rocks: Devon Cliffs, Devon
- The Humber Stone: Cleethorpes Beach, Lincolnshire
- The London Stone: Kent Coast, Kent
- The Sir Thomas Haggerston: Haggerston Castle, Northumberland
Simon Palethorpe, Haven’s, CEO said: “Our partnership with J D Wetherspoon continues to grow. With a record 4 million holidaymakers and owners due to take a Haven holiday in 2026, the UK coastal holiday shows no signs of slowing down.
“The naming of the J D Wetherspoon pubs is highly anticipated and always reveals an interesting historical, geographical or cultural reference to the area. We look forward to more guests enjoying a pint whilst taking in some of the most beautiful views of our UK coastline.”
Since 2021, Haven has invested £660 million upgrading the guest experience and facilities. Haven will also renovate the Show Bar at Marton Mere in Blackpool and build a new supermarket at Kent Coast. Joe Argyle, Senior Commercial Manager at J D Wetherspoon said: “Our partnership with Haven continues to go from strength to strength.
“Its J D Wetherspoon pubs have proven extremely popular across all age groups, and we look forward to continued success with Haven.”
