Elite Membership will give you a number of special privileges and discounts. Several of these are listed below, more special offers are continually being added, keep checking this website for updates!
Caister Elite cardholders can arrive and will be admitted to the holiday centre before everyone else (at 1pm) regardless of the time shown on your ticket. This allows you the advantage of being able to check-in one or two hours before everyone else (Please note that only Caister Elite members with their cards will normally be admitted at 1 pm).
We regret that if Reception is busy members of your party who do not have a card may have to wait until later, or until the time shown on their ticket.
If you are arriving after 1 pm and there are queues at the Main Gate, Elite cardholders will be given preferential, express admission. This applies to the Main Gate and Reception, you may still have a slight wait to check-in at Reception. Show your Elite Card to Security at the main gate and at Reception and they will expedite your check-in.
Caister Elite Members will be able to park right by their own accommodation provided that they do not move their vehicles until they leave the event. To take advantage of this special Elite parking priviledge the driver or the front passenger must produce their Elite Card on arrival at the Main Gate. (You must not park on the roadways but use the parking bays or grass by your accommodation). Please Note: If you feel you will need to use or move your vehicle during the Weekender then you must park in the Main Car Park as vehicles parked by your accommodation must remain stationary until the end of the event. There is a 24hour mini-bus service from outside Reception if you wish to go into town or to the supermarkets.
Elite members, on production of their membership card, can use the special ELITE VIP Bar which is inside the main venue at Caister. The Elite VIP Bar is situated at the end of the main bar and offers exclusive seating and preferential service.
