HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Age ain’t nothing but a number. It’s true! Butlin’s might be (whisper it) almost 90, but at Big Weekenders, we bring the party like we’re 21. We’re legendary for keeping the good times going and bringing you unforgettable music weekends, all year round.
If you want to relive the glory days, or take a unique break that feels like it’s been put together especially for you, then this is the one. It’s time to dust off those dancing shoes - bring on your Big Weekender...
NON-STOP NIGHTS TO REMEMBER
There’s nothing like dressing up, hitting the town, dancing until your feet ache. Putting on your glad rags, catching up with your best mates, losing it with laughter… Has it been a while? Well, if you could do it back then, you can do it again. And we’re here to make it easy.
Big Weekenders let you dive back into those days where having fun and making memories were the only things that mattered. Let loose like you did before, but with loads more comfort and a lot less drama. You’ll have the time of your life on a Big Weekender – it’s nights out like they used to be, but better.
YOUR VERY OWN ERAS TOUR
Looking back? We love it. Classic tunes, legendary DJs, big name headliners – in the company of everyone from brand new fans to the diehards that did it all first. Want ’70s rock and disco, the electropop of the ’80s, ’90s dance, or noughties kitsch? We have Big Weekenders devoted to each of music’s very best decades.
Love a bit of everything? No need to compromise. On a Replay Weekender we go wild with the best of every era on dedicated stages. So whether you want to fall in love again to the music of your generation, relive your clubbing days, or go all out and party like it’s 1999, you can do it all on a Big Weekender.
HEDONISM, HASSLE-FREE
It might have been fun once, but we’ll have no more squeezing onto a packed night bus, or waiting for a taxi in the rain when you’re tired and happy and just want to crawl into bed. Festival-style roughing it is definitely not an option – on a Big Weekender, you get the quality on-resort accommodation of your choice. From comfy rooms to ritzy apartments, you’ll be sure of a great sleep in a cosy bed, whatever your budget.
Every morning you can revive yourself with your very own private shower – no queuing in fields for leaky festival shower blocks – and there’ll be no struggling to get glammed up in a two-man tent. Need to pop back for a quick change, more lippy, or an extra spritz of aftershave? Dead easy – your room’s just footsteps from the stage.
TALKIN' 'BOUT YOUR GENERATION
Whatever resort you choose, we have the best venues in town. Head into Reds, Studio 36, Skyline or Centre Stage, and you’ll find them packed with fans that love the music of your generation just as much as you. No too-cool-for-school posers, but crowds of passionate people who are genuinely excited to be here.
They’re all here for the same reason, too – to have an amazing time in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere with like-minded mates. The headliners are iconic, and the music may be nostalgic, but it’s not just a trip down memory lane. On a Big Weekender you can take it to a whole new level.
VIP, EASY AS 1-2-3
Want to make it really special? For a little extra, you can get on our A list with a VIP Pass. Make the good times great with exclusive access to VIP areas in selected venues, all weekend, plus friendly table service and seating too.
With your VIP Pass, you’ll be able to swish past any queues and enjoy priority venue entry; there’ll be a VIP bar waiting for you when you get in; and you’ll get 10% off food in all our on-resort restaurants too. No faffing, just feeling fabulous. The red carpet awaits.
GLORY DAYS WITH A DIFFERENCE
Don’t want to hit the dance floor right away? Saving the boozing for a bit later on? There’s loads of brilliant stuff to do on a Big Weekender, all day, every day. Belt out bangers while testing your general and music knowledge at our Singalong Quiz, have a laugh with your mates with live comedy, or hit the fairground for vintage stalls and wicked rides.
Put your feet up in front of big-screen sports, indulge in a spa treatment, get your eyes down for some interactive comedy bingo, or fill your afternoon with musical magic at the Legends Tribute Show. You’ll never run out of things to do, or snaps to share that'll make your mates at home jealous. They'll just have to join you next time...
Please note that not all activities are available on all Big Weekenders, and not all facilities are available at every resort.
