Hemel Hempstead, September 2024 - The UK events industry has voted Butlin’s Conferences and Events as the Best UK Unusual Venue at the prestigious M&IT Awards, which took place at Grosvenor House on Friday 13th September.
This is the first Gold Award for Butlin’s Conferences and Events, following their runner up Silver Award in 2023.
Dan Elliott, Butlin’s National Sales Manager said, "Winning Gold at the M&IT Awards is particularly meaningful as the winners are selected based on votes directly from our partners in the events industry. This award is a testament to the hard work of the Butlin’s events teams across all resorts in delivering on our Conferences and Events strategy. We’ve gone from strength to strength since this strategy launched in 2021. The resorts are investing in upgrading existing offerings–making Studio 36 a permanent feature at all three resorts—and also investing in developing innovative new offerings like PLAYXPERIENCE which will open at Bognor Regis in October. Our all-in-one place approach to events keeps getting better and better, and we look forward to winning Gold again next year.”
Since relaunching its Conferences and Events offering just three years ago, Butlin’s Bognor Regis has redefined itself as a venue focused on providing solutions with fun and attendee engagement at the heart of every event. As corporates struggle to engage and motivate their teams in a world of hybrid and remote work, Butlin’s has invested in developing flexible packages for fun and immersive events that deliver a high level of return on engagement for corporate clients.
Butlin’s truly is an all-in-one place solution, offering clients everything from unique spaces, a range of dining options with mouthwatering menus, comfortable accommodation, state of the art AV and entertainment equipment, AV support and a dedicated team. Butlin’s is currently running an incredible exclusive hire event campaign, with delegate rates starting at £175 per person, per night with limited dates available in 2024 and 2025. As optional add-ons, Butlin’s can offer engaging experiences at the Fairground, Splash Waterworld, on-resort arcades, and Hotshots sports bar, as well as bespoke entertainment and team building activities.
Butlin’s continues to innovate and expand with new spaces like PLAYXPERIENCE at Bognor Regis, reaffirming the vision of creating spaces where people can come together, share memorable experiences, and build lasting connections. PLAYXPERIENCE can also be added to exclusive hire packages.
As an exciting new addition to Butlin’s, PLAYXPERIENCE offers event planners a new, fun way to engage delegates without putting pressure on the budget. The events team at Butlin’s can provide bespoke packages and solutions to incorporate PLAYXPERIENCE for events of different sizes, duration and budget. Exclusive hire packages include access to all games and The Bar and Cafe, while flexible corporate packages are available to provide a VIP experience for small groups on shorter stays.
While PLAYXPERIENCE is a modern, future focused addition to Butlin’s, the brand-new activity centre stays true to the Butlin's heritage of bringing people together for exceptional experiences. Butlin’s maximises ROE and ROI by providing everything required for a successful event on resort, including accommodation, purpose-built conference spaces, flexible event spaces, world-class AV, and, of course, fun and entertainment.
