BOUTIQUE AND UNIQUE
Itching to get your next party weekend booked? Well, why settle for something run-of-the-mill when you can pick up a ticket for a Big Weekender instead? Our adults-only weekends are truly in a league of their own, and include so much that you just won’t find anywhere else. Want to find out more? Here’s why our Big Weekenders are the most unique experience around.
1. NO ROUGHING IT
Forget schlepping around muddy fields in blister-tastic boots. Butlin’s Big Weekenders are all indoors, so you can have the full experience without having to slum it in a soggy tent and sleep on a rock hard floor.
All our Big Weekenders come with comfy accommodation (yes – real beds!) just a short walk from the stages. With your own private facilities, there’s no queueing for dodgy shower blocks with the great unwashed either. You’ll wake up refreshed, at your best, and ready to go.
2. WEEKENDS MADE FOR YOU
Do you love the sounds of soul? Delirious about disco? Or perhaps nineties and noughties nostalgia is what makes you hit the dancefloor? We’ve got your jam, whatever it is, at a Butlin’s Big Weekender.
With dedicated themed weekends including Rockaway Beach and Replay, you’ll be surrounded by people who share your love for the same tunes. Dress up, shake your stuff, and sing your heart out – you’ll feel like the whole thing’s been put together just for you.
3. HUGE ACTS, INTIMATE STAGES
Tired of watching bands from the back of a field, half a mile away from the stage? It’s time to the leave the binoculars at home. On a Big Weekender you’ll get to see epic headliners, legendary bands, and famous DJs performing in our excellent indoor venues.
Smaller crowds mean less hassle and much better fun, plus you’ll feel like you’re up close and personal with your heroes no matter where in the venue you are. After all, why hang around waiting at the barrier when you could be in the bar?
4. ADULTS ONLY - NO KIDS
There’s no tripping over other people’s little ones, or having to think about keeping your own kids entertained. The fact that Butlin's Big Weekenders are strictly 18+ means you don’t have to worry about anyone’s bedtime – including your own.
It’s a weekend where you can concentrate on having a grown-up good time, at a place where you can put yourself first for a change. Pack the young ’uns off to Nanna’s, and pack your bags for a weekend with your mates that you’ll never forget.
5. AIN'T NO SUNSHINE? THAT'S FINE
Who said that music is just for summer? Our Butlin’s Big Weekenders run almost all year, so you’ll always be able to find a date that suits you and your gang, without things like summer holidays getting in the way.
Also, as all our Big Weekenders take place across indoor venues, you don’t have to worry about the less-than-glorious British weather, and you can wear your best glam all day without getting drenched. Alternatively…
6. YOU CAN DRESS UP
Love serving looks? Take it to the next level and get into your your finest fancy dress. We encourage costumes on the majority of our Big Weekenders, so you don’t need to worry about being the only one – over the years we’ve seen superheroes, crowds of nuns, big-wigged rock gods and even a troupe of traffic cones.
Coming to a decade-themed Weekender? Keep it simple with flares and facepaint, shellsuits and sequins, or even double denim and a backcombed barnet. Dressing up always breaks the ice in a crowd, and you’ll have social media-worthy snaps on hand for months.
7. WE STAY UP LATE
Live acts finishing early? Stage curfews stopping the fun in its tracks? There’s never a needle suddenly scratching across a 12” at Butlin’s, as our Big Weekenders keep on late into the night.
The headline act may have finished, but we keep the tunes coming and the vibe buzzing with DJ sets and late-night parties right here on resort, so you’ll always get more bangers for your buck. And although you’ll have a comfy bed to crash in, who needs sleep, anyway?
8. THEY ARE MORE THAN MUSIC
Ever been on a break where you can rave in a silent disco, line dance to country classics and pop anthems, participate in a Singalong Quiz, and ride the dodgems between DJ sets? Butlin’s Big Weekenders are all about the unexpected and there’s always something fun around the corner.
With a packed calendar of activities like pool parties, bowling, comedy and Bingo Bango, you’ll never be looking for things to do – and there’s always our famous fairground if you’re somebody who likes to keep it old school.
9. WE MAKE IT EASY
Our Big Weekenders are designed to be hassle-free when you’re here, and with nothing to worry about before you arrive. Bit worried about paying a lump sum when booking? Spread the cost with manageable monthly payments and low deposits from £15 per person.
Or do you want to make sure you don’t go overboard on the spends once you’re on resort? Make sure it’s all covered with a smorgasbord of dining plans you can arrange and pay for in advance. Once you’re with us, you’ll find everything you need right on resort, so you don’t have to worry about packing for every possibility.
10. YOU CAN BE A VIP
Something glamorous to add on when you really want to feel like a star – you deserve it.
A VIP pass offers plenty of perks, including skipping queues at venues; access to the VIP bar, so there’s no waiting around for drinks either; an exclusive area strictly for guests rocking their wristband; and a 10% discount on restaurants too. And it's just got even better! If you're heading to Bognor Regis, your VIP Pass now includes a FREE game of TechPutt - our brand new hi-tech mini-golf experience.
If you want an extra layer of luxury, a Big Weekender VIP pass lets you party in style - and it's available at all resorts too. See you on the dancefloor…
Please note that not all activities are available on all Big Weekenders, and not all facilities are available at every resort.
