If you’re looking for a getaway that’s great value for money, ideal for younger children and available outside of the school holidays, our term time midweek and weekend breaks are perfect for you.

Running from March to October, they’re a great excuse to jump in the car, head to the seaside and enjoy a short family break away, without breaking the bank. We think they’re brilliant, and here’s ten reasons why you should too…

1. They’re great value for money

If you’re looking for a break outside of the school holidays, it can be hard trying to find a break that still feels very much like a holiday; packed full with things to do, places to see, delicious food to eat, with a bustling, exciting atmosphere. With so much to see and do on our term time breaks, there’ll be no doubt that Butlin’s can give you exactly that.

You’ll still get to enjoy Butlin’s at its best but for brilliant prices. With so much included in the price, make the most of our incredible live shows and activities, unlimited goes on the fairground, and time spent in our big family pools, without having to dip into your purse or wallet every five minutes. So, when the kids shout, “just one more go!” you’ll never have to say no.

2. Brilliant live entertainment

Our 2021 term time breaks are loaded with amazing live shows, many exclusive to Butlin’s. With the likes of The Little Mermaid, our very own pantomime written by Jon Monie, an award-winning pantomime script writer, plus our very own Skyline Gang and Billy and Bonnie bears taking to our stages, you won’t be short of feel-good fun. And the best part? It’s all included in the price of your break!

3. Activities galore!

On top of all the incredible shows, our term time schedules are brimming with activities for all ages, many included in the price and some at a little extra cost. Whether it’s an arty afternoon painting at our Arts & Crafts session or driving up some friendly competition on the go-kart track, there’ll be plenty for the whole family to get stuck in to.

4. They’re ideal for spending time with your children

We know it can be difficult to find a holiday that really allows you to switch off and spend precious time as a family, filling your days with activities that they’ll love just as much as you. Our midweek breaks are ideal for families with little ones; you’ll get to enjoy the same brilliantness of Butlin’s you’d find on any school holiday and although our resorts might be a little quieter, it doesn’t mean our entertainment slows down but rather it’ll just be less crowded and overwhelming for them.

Whereas our weekend breaks are the perfect opportunity for you to spend time with your older children. You don't have to worry about taking them out of school and you can enjoy a weekend away together, packing your days with shows and activities everyone will enjoy.

5. Our new Winter Breaks will cure your winter blues

February and March can be a little dull, with the excitement of Christmas festivities behind us, it’s important to have things in the new year to look forward do. Our brand new 2021 Winter Breaks are the perfect excuse to get away. Think cosy accommodation, warm drinks, wholesome winter food and a good old family break to get energised for the season to come.

If you’re struggling to justify going away or are waiting for a special, our midweek and weekend breaks throughout the year are low cost, maximum fun. Starting from just £99, there’s nothing stopping you getting away at any time of the year to enjoy some well-deserved family time. That’s the only excuse you’ll ever need!

Beaches aren’t just for the summer sun. Our three seaside resorts have beautiful beaches sitting on their doorsteps, including Skegness’s Blue Flag sandy beach. Whether it’s a brisk wake up walk, a day building sandcastles and splashing in the sea, or a wrapped-up Christmas Eve stroll, make the most of being beside the seaside.

If the shows and activities aren’t quite enough, our big family pools are sure to get you excited. Unlike any ordinary pool, our indoor Splash Waterworlds have been designed with families in mind. At each resort you’ll find something different; with Bognor Regis’s seaside-themed pool with stick-of-rock slides, Minehead’s outdoor splash pool, or Skegness’s space bowl for the ultimate water fun!

There’ll be no rumbling tums at Butlin’s! Take each day as it comes and see what you fancy, from American favourites in The Diner to pizza and pasta aplenty in Ludo’s Italian, there’s so many restaurants, bars and cafés to explore. Or our pre-purchased dining plans give you access to our buffet restaurants for breakfast and dinner so you can stack ‘em high!

We’ve got sweet treats to fuel your adventure-packed days too; think warm doughnuts, candy floss, waffles and ice cream… because it’s never too cold for an ice cream by the sea!

Take your pick of clean and comfortable accommodation at our three resorts, with nautical hotels in Bognor Regis, beautiful chalets at Minehead and vibrant apartments in Skegness. You’ll find well-equipped accommodation that sure to give everyone a cosy night’s sleep.
