A POPULAR UK holiday park has gone into administration after nearly 20 years.
The future of the resort, which features a retail village, golf course, and theatres, currently remains uncertain.
Stonham Barns Park, based in the Suffolk countryside, filed the notice on Monday, February 16.
David Hudson and David Hinrichsen of FRP Advisory have been appointed as joint administrators following a period of financial pressure on the business”.
The administrators confirmed they are focused on continuing to trade the site while seeking a buyer, with the aim of securing the park’s future as a going concern.
All existing holiday bookings will be honoured, and the site will continue to take new bookings, with all facilitiesoperating as normal throughout the administration process.

David Hudson, joint administrator and partner at FRP, told The Sun: “We are very much focussed on business as usual and want to reassure guests with existing bookings that these are unaffected.
“Anyone considering booking a visit can make one with confidence too.
“We are actively marketing the site for sale and would welcome bidders who see the opportunity here with a well-established and popular caravan park.”
Located conveniently on the A1120 tourist route, Stonham Barns Park was first opened in 1987, with the current management taking over in 2001.
Stonham Barns eventually evolved into a multi-facility destination, offering fun for all the family for 362 days of the year.
The park is famous for hosting niche enthusiast shows, including historic re-enactments of the Viking era, as well as classic car shows and darts tournaments.
Visitors can also enjoy countless onsite attractions, including an indoor soft play area, a pirate-themed adventure golf, a vibrant shopping village, an owl sanctuary and Meerkat castle, fair rides, and fishing lakes.
The park is also popular with golf enthusiasts, offering a nine hole golf course, simulator bays, a street golf driving range, a chip n putt course, golf darts, and foot golf.
Stonham Barns Showground is also located within the park, hosting numerous events throughout the year, including an annual dog show and a Christmas spectacular.
Visitors can also rent or buy holiday homes on-site, including luxury lodges situated around the scenic lake.
In December, the HMRC issued the park with a Winding Up Petition, a last‑resort enforcement tool when other collection options have been exhausted.
A deadline was reported for the end of January, with no official amount disclosed.
At the time of issue, company directors publicly stated that the park was fully in funds to meet the obligation and that there was no risk to the ongoing operation of the resort and its on‑site businesses.
The Sun has reached out to Stonham Barns for comment.
