Hemel Hempstead, 30 June 2025 – Butlin's, the Home of Entertainment, is taking its title to a new level with four brand-new live family shows on its Showtime Term-Time breaks in 2026.
Joining an already incredible entertainment lineup will be new shows featuring tots' favourites Peppa Pig and The Dinosaur that Pooped. Families with kids five and under can lock-in a term-time getaway early, with four-night Showtime Term-Time Midweek breaks across all three resorts – Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness - from as little as £39* (£10 pp) for a family of four.
After stealing the hearts of Peppa Pig fans across the world, baby Evie Pig will be trotting into the spotlight, taking centre stage for the first time in a brand-new Peppa Pig show at Butlin’s. Her big sister Peppa is planning a special picnic to celebrate Evie’s big debut alongside the rest of the famous Pig family. This exciting performance will be packed with singing, dancing, giggles and snorts galore.
A high-energy musical will be hitting the stage live on selected Showtime breaks in 2026. Filled with mischief and mayhem, The Dinosaur that Pooped a Rock Show has something for the whole family. From the bestsellers Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, Danny and Dino’s Rockin’ Adventure! has all-new catchy songs by the McFly duo, laugh-out-loud moments, loads of silly fun, and of course lots of poo.
Join Butlin’s Skyline Gang in their brand-new show Imagine That! From Easter Half Term, the gang is dreaming big and imagining a world where anything is possible, where each member explores their ultimate dream job. From thrilling adventures and outer space missions to wild inventions, the feel-good performance is bursting with catchy tunes, dancing and laughter – perfect for kids who love to dream big.

The dazzling production is every fan of West End rock n’ roll musicals dream, as guests will be rocking out to hits from Six and Tina one minute, and then Rock of Ages and Just for One Day, with tracks from music icons Queen, Bowie and U2.
If that wasn’t enough, there's also a whole host of shows returning by popular demand. Jack & The Beanstalk pantomime returns in 2026 for even more magic, belly laughs and a few unexpected surprises in the modern twist of the classic fairy tale. The eye-popping show Animals & Mythical Beasts is also returning to the Studio 36 stage for more learning through laughter, featuring life-size, life-like creatures from the plains of Africa to the UK countryside, and the mythical world.
