You'll be bowled over by the latest activity at Haven. Batfast is a new sporting challenge, tasking holidaymakers to go head-to-head against a virtual bowler.

This multi-sport augmented reality simulator allows you to try your hand at cricket, tennis or baseball as you play against the virtual bowler, server or pitcher. You’ll use real balls within the batting cage, and you can try out different difficulty levels if you want to test your speed and agility.

The challenge is made up of several sections that take you from A to B as you’re harnessed. Tyres, ropes and zip wires are just some of the obstacles you’ll encounter. You’ll feel on top of the world as you navigate along the route, so if you’re heading on holiday, this one is an absolute must!
