We welcomed Exeter born three-time Swimming world champion Liam Tancock to Ladram Bay for the opening of our new Splash Zone.
Gold-medallist Liam declared the new Splash Zone open it was quickly descended upon by it’s first excited guests.
The 160-square metres of wonderfully wet activities and challenges is already proving a hit with grown-ups as well. Each area of the Splash Zone contains pressure sensitive floor pads, with the rotating water sprinkler proving especially popular for its ability to soak others around you.
Liam described the Splash Zone as a “fantastic way to help kids enjoy and become confident with water”.
The Splash Zone is part of a £1 million investment made by the family-owned park in the run-up to the 2018 summer season when its 75th anniversary is being marked.
Ladram Bay director Zoe House, who is a member of the park-owning Carter family, said it was a great privilege to welcome Liam to Ladram Bay:
“Although the Splash Zone is all about having fun, Liam knows that youngsters just enjoying themselves in the water can be a great introduction to swimming as a sport,” she said.
“We have many guests which return here year after year, and we’re often told that one big reason is the wealth of things to do for all ages, no matter what the weather. Our main aim has always been to create amazing holiday memories with first-class facilities, and I think that our new Splash Zone comes right up to the mark!” added Zoe.
If you are staying with us this summer the Splash Zone is located outside the Pool Complex and will excite all ages and is even suitable for toddlers and non-swimmers. The ocean themed area measures 18m x 9m and includes interactive water features, spray guns & a pirate ship, perfect for exploration and adventures.

We know that booking holidays can often feel like a stressful event, with so many options and things to consider. We’ve put together our top tips for perfectly planning your 2024 holiday.
Plan around 2024 bank holidays
Not only are long weekends at Ladram Bay the perfect escape from reality but booking a whole week off around a bank holiday means you get to save a day or two of your all-important holiday allowance and have a nice long (and well needed) break, too.
Book for annual events
Outside of the summer holidays, we host plenty of entertainment around the Easter holidays and Halloween to name but a couple. There’s fun for the whole family – from Easter egg hunts for the little ones to fancy dress parties for young and old. It’s always worth a visit to see what we’ve got going on! Check out or visiting acts, too. With a full entertainment programme all season long, there’ll be something you love.
Book ahead
Save on stress and plan your 2024 holiday well in advance. You’ll thank yourself next year! We offer a deposit scheme that allows you to pay the balance eight weeks in advance of your holiday, which gives you plenty of room to breathe.
Look at off-peak dates
We know the buzz of the summer holidays isn’t for everyone. For maximum R&R, look at dates outside of peak season when the weather is still warm but the little ones are back at school. Our season runs from March to November, so there’s plenty of time to explore the Jurassic Coast in a laid-back fashion.
Check for last-minute staycations
Not a forward planner and fancy a spontaneous getaway? Why not. It’s always worth checking availability online or giving us a call on 01395 568398 – you never know what will be available last-minute in your budget.
Explore different accommodation types
We’ve got lots of different accommodation types here at Ladram Bay depending on what kind of holiday you fancy. If you love being in the great outdoors, bring your tent or tourer and enjoy views out across the bay, or glamp in one of our Otterpods and experience the best of both worlds.
