Butlin’s reveals huge 90th birthday party this spring with family holidays from £188

FOR 90 years, Butlin’s has been a go-to seaside holiday destination in the UK and next month it is having a huge celebration.

Across all three Butlin’s resorts this Easter, there will be celebrations for the brand’s 90th birthday.

Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness Butlin’s sites there will all be hosting a three-night event starting on April 10.

The event will include shows and activities exclusive to the three-day break.

For example, on April 11, guests can watch a firework and laser display, which will start at 7:36pm exactly to commemorate the year that the Lincolnshire resort first opened.

The fireworks display will be hosted by the Redcoats, alongside Billy and Bonnie – the official mascot bears – and then there will be a nine-minute show lighting up the skies – a minute for each decade Butlin’s has been open.

I tested the Butlin’s £30 all-inclusive drinks package to limit – was it worth it?

In addition, there will be a new Birthday Party Bingo with themed games, party dances and even a ‘special moment’ when the number 90 is called out.

Any guests who happen to be celebrating their own birthday over the weekend will also get a ‘special moment’.

The Birthday Party Bingo will also be a part of the programme for all breaks for the remainder of 2026.

The Skyline Gang, Sarakasi All Stars and the Redcoats will all perform on the Skyline Pavilion Stage in the Party In The Skyline show as well.

There’s even a special ‘Birthday Bonanza’ cocktail that has been created for Butlin’s’ birthday, with a mix of vodka, amaretto and Coca-Cola.

The three-night birthday break starts from £188 for the Minehead site, £214 for the Skegness site (the original destination) and from £283 for the Bognor Regis resort.

The birthday breaks also include Butlin’s Easter entertainment which includes The Masked Singer and Maximum Pro Wrestling.

And of course, you get the usual access to the Splash Waterworld pools, fairground rides and the soft play centres.

Mike Godolphin, Butlin’s entertainment director, said: “No one does it bigger and better than Butlin’s, and we’ve been proudly doing it for 90 years.

“A milestone this special deserves a Butlin’s style celebration to match.

“From the spectacular firework and laser display and incredible entertainment across the weekend, we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone across the three resorts.

“This weekend is not only dedicated to the memories made over the last nine decades at our resorts.

“We’re also looking to the future, and all the special moments that will be made at Butlin’s in the next 90 years.”

To celebrate its 90th birthday, Butlin’s is also looking for the ultimate Butlin’s family to give away a break in Skegness.

To enter, you’ll need to go to Butlin’s social pages and show why you should be crowned the winner.
