By popular demand we’ve managed to secure another great deal at Potters but this time at Five Lakes Resort near Maldon in Essex. For some of you the set-up will be familiar, although there have been upgrades to rooms and facilities since our last visit. For those of you who enjoyed the Festive Weekend last November at Hopton, you will find the hotel Premium Plus and Premium deluxe rooms we have reserved, a big improvement.

There will be plenty to do with indoor and outdoor activities and, once again this is a full-board, drinks-inclusive event. As the nights will be closing in but clocks won’t yet have gone back, we hope that the weather will still enable many outdoor as well as indoor activities and that the date and venue will appeal and enable many to get together before preparing for Christmas.

The offer includes:

  • 5 days (4 nights) from Monday 13th October 2025
  • Full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus late supper, if you can make it!)
  • Drinks inclusive*
  • Numerous activities, quizzes, etc
  • Lovely spa (Massages and beauty treatments at additional cost)
  • Nightly entertainment
  • Cancellation Protection Cover

(*This includes the majority of well-known wines, beers, spirits, soft drinks, coffee, tea, etc, with certain higher-rated brands also available on a Premier list at extra charge if preferred).
