GET READY FOR THE WEEKEND!
A Butlin’s Big Weekender is the ultimate adults-only weekend away. Think of it as the full festival experience: incredible music including big-name headline acts, endless daytime activities, great food and drink, and your very best mates. No worries, no work, no mud or tents or wellies, but one of the best and biggest weekends of your life.
Rain or shine, a Butlin’s Big Weekender is truly unique – we can’t think of anywhere else you’ll find it all in one place. The party atmosphere is always next level, our comfy on-site accommodation guarantees a great sleep, and whatever your era or music vibe, we have a line-up that will really get you into the groove. Best of all, it’s an epic way to get together with your best mates without saying goodbye to your life savings. Fire up the group chat and get one booked today.
MIND-BLOWING MUSIC
It wouldn’t be a Big Weekender without our incredible headliners. Into indie, club classics, or boyband kitsch? A serious love for soul sensations, Ibiza anthems dropped by world-class DJs, or classic hits from ’70s stone-cold legends? We love them as much as you do, which is why we’ve got them all at Butlin’s Big Weekenders.
Each weekend is themed around one of your favourite decades or music genres, so you can either choose the one that never fails to get you on the dancefloor, or discover something new to you. No matter your taste, we’ve got the tunes. See you down the front.
ALL-DAY ENTERTAINMENT
On a Butlin’s Big Weekender, we have non-stop stuff to do, from breakfast until bedtime. Sure, you’re here for nights of big name bands and phenomenal headline artists, but at Butlin’s we keep the party going all day.
Think silent discos, pool parties, live comedy, quizzes, Sunday singalongs, or going again and again on our epic fairground rides. Be wowed by state-of-the-art, adrenaline-pumping gaming and activities at PLAYXPERIENCE in Bognor Regis - or go for some nostalgia-packed seaside classics like crazy golf. No other festivals include non-stop fun and laughs like this.
ONE HUGE PARTY, FOUR GREAT VENUES
Each Big Weekender takes over an entire Butlin’s resort. So there’s no crowding around a single stage – whether you’re in Bognor Regis, Minehead or Skegness, we spread the show over the four best live music venues in town, all of which are on resort.
Get your best dancing shoes on and slide between Reds, Centre Stage, Studio 36 and the Skyline Pavilion to soak up the feeling with like-minded music fans and party people. One minute you’ll be singing along to your favourite artist, the next with your arms in the air as a DJ spins out those crowd-wowing high-energy hits.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GO ALL IN
Sure, music is the food of love, but when you’re actually feeling hungry we’ve got tons of delicious dining options to satisfy every appetite. Want to chill out and watch sports for a bit? You can do that. Fancy some fairground thrills? Go for it!
From entertainment venues and restaurants to somewhere to sleep and shop, everything’s on resort and within easy walking distance of wherever you’re feeling the vibe. Forget having to call a cab or search for “things to do nearby”, you won’t need to leave the party for a second.
REST ASSURED, YOU’LL SLEEP EASY
Trust us – we know that after a big night, you’ll need a great place to get your head down. At Butlin’s we have loads of comfy accommodation, without canvas or a campsite in sight.
Whether you’re staying in a welcoming hotel room, a lush lakeside lodge, a homely self-catering apartment or a cushy caravan, you won’t have to travel far for a cosy bed and your very own shower after your unforgettable night out. We’ve got a range of options to suit all budgets and needs, so you can rest easy and recharge, ready to hit those highs again the next day. Aaand... relax!
MORE BANGERS FOR YOUR BUCK
Our Big Weekenders are big on fun and small on spends. We’d go so far as to say they are the best value music festivals around, as there’s so much included in your ticket price.
It’s not just the shows and accommodation – when you’re not raising the roof with your favourite acts, for example, you can join in with karaoke and Bingo Bango, an exclusive experience packed with party anthems and hilarious onstage antics, for not an extra penny.
THE BEST DRESSED FESTIVAL AROUND
Everyone’s welcome at the party – you’ll fit right in, there’s no attitude and no dress code, so you can wear your favourite threads. But a Butlin’s Big Weekender is an amazing opportunity to raid the dressing up box and wear your finest fancy dress.
Whether it’s legwarmers and spandex for an 80s weekend, some nostalgic 90s double denim, white gloves and glowsticks for that classic clubber look, or even your best Travolta disco tuxedo, we love to see you getting wiggy with it – and your mates will too.
