14 Feb
Summary
- Butlin's resorts now host adult-only weekends with pop star performances.
- A new £15 million PLAYXPERIENCE centre features futuristic arcade games.
- The Don't Tell Mama LGBTQ+ weekender offers a nostalgic and welcoming atmosphere.
Butlin's, traditionally known for family seaside breaks, has been transforming its resorts on select weekends. The Bognor Regis, Minehead, and Skegness locations now host adult-only events, offering a chance for guests to relive their youth.
These weekender packages often feature performances by pop stars from the 90s and 2000s. The Don't Tell Mama LGBTQ+ weekender at Bognor Regis, for instance, showcased acts like Donna Marie as Lady Gaga, Claire Richards, and The Vengaboys.
A significant recent development at the Bognor Regis resort is the opening of the PLAYXPERIENCE centre. This £15 million, two-storey facility offers nine attractions, including escape rooms, Digi Darts, and virtual reality games.
Beyond the entertainment, the atmosphere is a key draw. Guests experience a sense of camaraderie, participating in activities like watching TV finales together or engaging in karaoke. The resort also offers a water park and diverse dining options, including themed buffets and drag queen-hosted brunches.
Accommodations have also been upgraded, with options like suites in the Wave Hotel providing sea views. The Don't Tell Mama weekender has confirmed its return for next year, with further acts expected to be announced.
