FIND YOUR WEEKEND
DON'T TELL MAMA
HOT OFF THE PRESS - THE FINAL LINE-UP IS HERE!
Three nights, zero judgement. Don’t Tell Mama is back for 2027 and ready to misbehave. Expect big-name artists, drag royalty, top DJs and legendary club nights, with plenty of surprises along the way. Come as you are, dress as who you want to be, and get ready to let loose with a crowd that’s here for exactly the same reasons.
And that’s just after dark. Strut your stuff on The Kylie Crawl, serve your best moves with The Rodeo Queens, sashay your way to Bottomless Drag Brunch and prepare for four fabulous hours of lip-syncs and laughs with Dragathon.
Then there are two chances to go all out with your fancy dress. Set sail in your best nautical lewk for Friday’s ‘Love Boat’ opening party, before transforming into your ultimate icon for Saturday’s ‘Night of 1000 Icons’ theme. Pop stars, screen legends, queer heroes, TV royalty… Who will you be?
This is a weekend for a community that truly knows how to party — so stay bold, stay proud, stay over.
BOTTOMLESS DRAG BRUNCH
Fancy a brunch with extra punch? A side of lashes with yer bacon rashers?! Welcome to the Bottomless Drag Brunch! Whether you’re starting the day as you mean to go on, or this is pre-drinks before your big night, head down to The Diner for party vibes brought to you by the drag queens of your dreams Miss Leigh Ding and Mercedes Bends. They’ll be spinning camp classics as you tuck into juicy burgers and piles of pancakes washed down with more booze than you can shake a feather boa at. Choose from prosecco, lager, and cocktails. Dancing positively encouraged! Simply add to your booking during checkout.
THE KYLIE CRAWL
Strut your way around the resort with The Kylie Crawl, a Kylie Minogue-themed Soul Stroll like no other. Slip on your headphones and get ready for a Silent Disco on the move, packed with Kylie’s biggest hits and classic party anthems. Led by a fully mobile wireless DJ, you’ll be guided around the resort, singing and dancing along, all to the same iconic soundtrack. One minute you’re ‘Spinning Around,’ and the next, you’re losing it to ‘Padam Padam’ and breaking the ‘Tension.’ There's a bar stop midway, so you can fuel up on some vital disco juice!
DRAGATHON
Are you ready, Bognor Regis? The DTM Dragathon is back for 2027! Prepare yourself for four hours of outrageous talent, unapologetic glamour, and absolute chaos as this drag spectacular takes over the Butlin’s stage once again. Expect sky-high heels, killer lewks, sharp tongues, and enough glitter to rival a Kylie concert. From eye-popping performances to laugh-out-loud moments, this is a high-camp celebration of drag in all its fabulousness. Whether you’re here for the lip-syncs, the slays, or the sheer mayhem, one thing’s for sure… anything can happen, and it probably will!
The Love Boat Opening Party
Calling all deep-sea divas and ocean icons! The theme of this year’s Don’t Tell Mama Friday night costume party is All Aboard The Love Boat. Whether you’re serving sea creature couture, channelling a cheeky sailor, or living your best mermaid fantasy, this is your moment to make waves.
On Friday night, climb aboard the DTM Love Boat and dive in with our official Opening Party. Make a splash on the dancefloor with legendary Freemasons DJ Russell Small and sing along, siren-style, to our fabulously camp Buoys Ahoy show.
There’ll be fin-tastic prizes for the most shore-stopping looks, plus exclusive Don’t Tell Mama merch up for grabs, so gather your crew, strike a pose on deck and get ready to set sail for an unforgettable weekend.
Night of 1000 Icons
Get ready for Night of 1000 Icons, Saturday night’s celebration of pop culture’s most fabulous faces. Think pop stars, big-screen legends, queer heroes, and TV royalty. From Freddie Mercury and Dolly Parton to Miranda Priestly and Pat Butcher, this is your chance to become your ultimate icon, whether that’s fantasy fashion diva, red-carpet glamour or camp and gloriously over the top.
Some serious icons are already joining us, including Nadine Coyle, La Voix, Bimini, Tiara Skye and more. Now it’s your turn to go all out with your look and party like the icon you were born to be.
The Rodeo Queens
Hold on to your cowboy hats! The Rodeo Queens are in town with a country cabaret where ‘yeeehawww’ meets ‘yaaasss’. Fronted by SHEriff Athena Beauvoir, this cowgirl collective features the wildest cabaret talents around, including drag diva Dosa Cat, Boylesque sensation Mr Blaque, and stage siren Ruby Saint James. Whether you’re a hoedown hero or a line dance novice, our country queens will teach you the boot-scootin’ basics with a stampede of sass and rhinestone sparkle. So, grab your cowboy boots and get ready to sashay, shimmy, and sidestep to Shania, Taylor, Beyoncé and more. It’s country. It’s camp. It’s hotter than a Texas summer. Yeeehawww!
