Feel the festive magic

Now let’s see, what could make Christmas even more magical? A sleigh-cation at Butlin’s, of course! Make the most wonderful time of year extra special with exclusive live shows, foody feasts and activities for all ages. We’ve got breaks for everyone on the nice list, so join us throughout December as we dial up the festivities and put on a schedule of non-stop fun that’s sure to fill the whole family with festive cheer.
