October Half Term
Fri 23 Oct - Mon 2 Nov 2020
Whether you’re looking for ghoulish goings-on or simply fancy getting away with your family before the rush of Christmas, our October half term breaks are the perfect escape.
As winter sets in and the evenings get darker earlier, embrace the colder weather and join us by the sea. You’ll find lights twinkling in our Traditional Fairground, hot chocolate ready to go and a crisp sea air that’s guaranteed to blow the cobwebs away.
And speaking of cobwebs… join us to celebrate Halloween over October half term and get ready for some spooktacular happenings including a trick or treat trail, pumpkin carving and a fangtastic fancy dress ball that’ll have your little monsters strutting their spooky stuff.
Both you and the kids will love every second of half term at Butlin’s.
