ULTIMATE 80S WEEKEND 2026-2027
Love the 80s? Then this one’s for you! Get ready to relive the era of big hair and even bigger anthems with songs that shaped a generation. MTV changed the way we watched music, Live Aid made history and Thriller was everywhere. Fast-forward to now and the decade’s biggest hits still get everyone on their feet, singing every word.
From pop and rock to New Wave and New Romantic, Ultimate 80s is your chance to experience those decade-defining sounds all over again. See original artists including Jason Donovan, Kim Wilde, Matt Goss, Tony Hadley and Wet Wet Wet live on stage, alongside top DJs playing the songs you grew up with — we’re talking Madonna, Tina Turner, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Smiths and more. Plus, we’ve got some of the UK’s best tribute acts paying homage to the era’s biggest icons like Queen and UB40. Whatever your 80s sounded like, you'll hear the tracks that take you straight back.
And the nostalgia doesn’t stop there. We’ve got themed activities too, such as Bottomless Brunch, Soul Stroll, Silent Discos and Pool Parties. Then on Saturday night, it’s time to look the part. Think neon, leg warmers, acid-wash denim, shoulder pads and larger-than-life looks inspired by your favourite 80s icons. Nod to the decade or go all out — just make it 80s.
Girls (and boys) just wanna have fun, so round up your mates and get ready to do the 80s all over again. It’s going to be simply the best!
The 80s Weekender was fantastic! Had such a laugh, would definitely recommend.
ACTIVITIES AND ENTERTAINMENT
There’s more to our Ultimate 80s Big Weekenders than big-name acts and headline moments. While live performances sit at the heart of our massive weekenders, our daytime experiences add an extra dimension of fun, so you can play all day and night.
WHAT'S A BIG WEEKENDER?
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.
