What is HARPA?

HARPA is the UK-wide trade association representing the owners and managers of holiday, touring and residential parks, previously known as the British Holiday & Home Parks Association. Founded in 1950, its mission is to be the leading voice for UK parks, supporting the industry to succeed through specialist advice, raising standards and effective advocacy.

HARPA members own 3,000 reputable parks across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and every member signs up to HARPA's Articles of Association, ensuring they uphold the highest industry standards.

Why this matters to Manor Park Homes

As manufacturers of park homes and luxury lodges, the parks that site our homes are at the very heart of everything we do. Being connected to the body that represents, supports and champions those parks and the wider industry is something we believe is genuinely important.

HARPA's membership includes both park owners and managers as well as Associate Members: companies that supply products and services to the parks industry, helping them to be efficient, compliant and uphold commercial excellence. Every membership application is thoroughly vetted and members are held to exemplary standards.

Much of HARPA's work is policy-related, representing members to government on key issues that affect the sector, including planning reform, taxation, employment law and energy infrastructure. As a manufacturer whose homes contribute to housing solutions and the wider visitor economy across the UK, having a voice in those conversations even as a Member matters to us.

Residential park homes offer a high-quality, single-storey housing option that addresses local housing shortages, and holiday parks generate over £12 billion annually for the UK visitor economy. We are proud to play our part in that story, and joining HARPA is a natural extension of our commitment to the industry we have been part of for over 36 years.

We look forward to the connections, knowledge and collaboration that HARPA membership brings and to continuing to build homes that parks and their residents are truly proud of.
