Hello campers! Butlin’s is set to welcome you back
orning campers! Butlin’s is back in business, including its entertainment programme.
The holiday company has sites at Bognor Regis in West Sussex, Minehead at Somerset and Skegness on the Lincolnshire coast.
“Now the Government have given us the go-ahead to put on outdoor performances this summer, we’re pulling out all the stops with shows from big star names on new grand outdoor stages, indoor venues for exclusive cinemastyle screenings, our pools are open and we’ve got an entertainment schedule full to the brim,” said a spokesman
“There’ll be no missing out with so many of our shows and activities still running, there’ll be no forgotten treats with ice cream parlours and bars and cafés aplenty, and definitely no worrying with new measures in place to keep everyone safe and happy,” he said.
New COVID-secure measures have been taken across the board from accommodation to outdoor events.
These include guests receiving an email 24 hours before arrival telling you the village you’re staying in and your room or apartment number.
You can also find this information on the app or in My Account.
