A NEW Wetherspoons pub has opened its doors at a holiday park near Blackpool.
Called The Springfield, the new Wetherspoons watering hole is at Haven Holidays‘ Cala Gran Holiday Park in Fleetwood.
The new pub officially opened on March 31, in time for the Easter weekend.
Between March and June and September and November, the pub will be open from 8am to 10pm each day.
Then during July and August – peak season – the pub will be open each day from 8am to serve hungry holidaymakers breakfast and remain open until midnight.
As you’d expect from a Wetherspoons pub, the bar will serve ales, wines, beers and cocktails and the food menu will boast full English breakfasts, fish and chips, burgers and pizzas.

The pub gets its name from Springfield House, which used to stand in the 1960s, on what is now the main entrance to the park.
Inside the boozer, you’ll find Wetherspoons classic interior decor with a unique carpet designed specifically for the pub.
The design includes a motif that resembles a glass domed ceiling, resembling the nearby Marine Hall in Fleetwood.
The pub will also be able to host up to 600 people.
According to the Blackpool Gazette, Jayne Mushet, General Manager, Haven Cala Gran said: “This is a fantastic addition to Cala Gran Holiday Park and something we know our guests and owners have been eagerly anticipating.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the season by opening the doors to our brand new pub.”
Cala Gran Holiday Park can be found on the outskirts of Fleetwood on the Fylde Coast – which is around seven miles from Blackpool.
Back in 1960, the holiday park was first a camping site with a paddling pool with Springfield House still standing.
The house was then demolished later in the 1960s.
Today, visitors heading to the holiday park can enjoy a family pool with a water slide, a steam room and a number of activities including Leap of Faith and a vertical assault course.
In the warmer months, guests can also make the most of the outdoor SplashZone, which is open from May half-term until the end of August.
Exclusive to Haven, the park also has a Nerf Training Camp.
Other activities available include crazy golf, footgolf, karts, a climbing wall, a bungee trampoline and junior segways.
Rossall Beach is also a 20-minute walk from the holiday park.
If the weather is playing up though, you can head inside to paint some pottery.
In addition to the new Wetherspoons onsite, there is also a Mini Market and Cook’s Fish & Chips.
The new Wetherspoons at Cala Gran Holiday Park joins three other pubs opening at Haven holiday parks – which will take the total up to nine.
