Alan & Jenny's Caravans, Fleetwood
We started Autism Friendly Caravans 7 years because we have a son Lucas who is autistic and it was impossible to find holidays suitable for families who are autistic so we decided to set up 1 caravan to help other families and then found the amount of families that wanted to come on holiday was huge so we expanded the business to what they are today.
As parents we know how hard it is to find somewhere suitable, so we have tried to set each caravan different to suit each family. We have tried to think off everything to make going on holiday less stressful and relaxing. We now have 6 themed caravans at Haven Cala Gran in Fleetwood, just outside Blackpool. They are all Family/Autism Friendly, ranging from 8 berth to 10 berth, some with outside secure decking. They include the Disney Themed Caravan, Dr Seuss/Gaming Themed Caravan, Mario/Gaming Caravan, Cherry Choice Caravan, Spongebob/Disney and the Rainbow Caravan. Each has a very individual character but they all offer a delightful holiday with plenty of sensory stimulation like a Bubble Table, Bubble Wall, Sensory Den & sensory toys.
Holiday Information
Attractions
The Haven holiday park offers a great beach holiday for all where kids can meet their favourite Seaside Squad characters, create a masterpiece with Live Doodle or even learn some circus skills. Blackpool itself offers a whole range of attractions, from the Illuminasia in the Winter Gardens with different zones that include The Mysteries of China and The Planetarium. The famous Blackpool Tower offers sensational views across Blackpool and also houses The Blackpool Tower Circus where you can see acrobatics, clowning capers and a surprise finale. The brave can also visit the 4D cinema experience – NOT sensory friendly – where 3D images, floor-shaking vibrations, smoke, spray and water jets tell Blackpool’s story.
Autism Friendly Caravans available to all
Accessibility
Abbreviated review from David B’s Journey …: David loved the caravan. … This is huge for our family. The WiFi in the caravan has been heavily invested in and tested (not easy in a metal caravan!) and it was brilliant… David … coped amazingly thanks to this well thought out and adapted caravan. It truly did help us enjoy rare family time; in fact we all sat down to a family tea around the dining table…we haven’t done that in years. … Alan and Jenny have an autistic Son themselves and they have put their all into these caravans. … They are only ever a phone call away …
