Hemel Hempstead, 6 October 2025 – Butlin’s, the Home of Entertainment, has incredible value for money, term-time getaways that are perfect for families with always on-the-go tots.
Starting from as little as £39*, there’s so much included in the price of every Showtime term-time midweek break, with a jam-packed schedule of exciting activities and brand-new shows for 2026 from tots' favourite TV and book characters, including Peppa and her new baby sister Evie, Fireman Sam, The Dinosaur That Pooped and Mister Maker. Plus, mini-fairground rides, the huge Splash Waterworld pools and plenty of playgrounds and soft play centres.
The stress-free four-night staycations are available at all three resorts – Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness – and have been designed for families with kids five and under in mind. With repeated entertainment and activities throughout Showtime breaks, laid-back dining options and the handy Hire Shop filled with all the essentials, from travel cots to highchairs, these breaks work around families’ different schedules and needs.
Exclusively on Showtime term-time midweek breaks are the newly introduced All Inclusive bundle, starting from £399** for a family of four. The bundle includes guests’ choice of accommodation and dining plan, alongside the hugely popular All Inclusive drinks package, giving families peace of mind as so much is already covered before check-in.
Entertainment from tots favourite characters
Butlin’s incredible West End-quality entertainment is included in the price of Showtime breaks and perfect for kids five and under, featuring hugely popular characters.
For the final 2025 Showtime breaks, Peppa Pig and Mister Maker will take to the stage alongside a packed schedule of entertainment, including this year’s pantomime Snow White and Her Magnificent Friends and the jaw-dropping Animals and Mythical Beasts production to name just a few.
In 2026, Evie Pig will be making her big debut in a brand-new Peppa Pig show, exclusive to Butlin’s. Joining the famous Pig family on selected Showtime breaks is Fireman Sam, who is saving the day and solving clues in the new The Lost Pirate Treasure and Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter’s laugh-out-loud musical The Dinosaur that Pooped a Rock Show. Plus, a fantastic tribute to Ms Rachel, bringing all the most popular songs and games from one of the world’s biggest YouTube creators and a brand-new Mister Maker family show.
These incredible shows will be joined by new and returning Butlin’s original shows, including a new Skyline Gang performance and the back by popular demand Jack & the Beanstalk pantomime. On selected Showtime breaks throughout 2026, the all-year-round pantomime and the brand-new Peppa Pig show featuring Evie Pig will have relaxed showings.
A few adjustments will be made to the relaxed shows, with gentler sounds and more lighting, to make the shows more inviting to a wider range of guests. Alongside our friendly team members who will be on hand to help with any needs, the incredible cast will introduce the show to emphasise that the story is fictional, and nobody is in danger.
Activities perfect for energetic kids
Whether tots are training to become the next football superstar in free football sessions, letting their imaginations run wild with Little Tikes’ toys in the dedicated Little Tikes Town space or showing off all the best dance moves at the Tots Disco, there’s loads of activities included in the price of Showtime breaks to keep lively tots entertained.
Squeeze the goggles and arm bands into the suitcases as unlimited trips to the incredible Splash Waterworld pools with dedicated tots pools, rides and slides are also included in the price. For the mini adrenaline junkies, they can enjoy unlimited rides at the Little Stars Fairground, with tots-sized favourites, from the teacups to mini planes.
With playgrounds and soft play centres at all three resorts included in the price, tots can jump, climb and burn off energy at no extra cost. The Minehead and Skegness resorts are home to the UK’s most exciting playground, SKYPARK. The playgrounds are packed with climbing towers, intertwining slides and swings, plus wheelchair-accessible features, with trampolines, ramps and interactive games.
In Bognor Regis, kids can explore the new 3,000 square feet, four storey Skyline Gang Soft Play centre. The free-flow access soft play centre is full of climbing challenges, slides, log ramps and more, plus a multi-sensory area for babies. Up to 200 tots can play together, while parents relax in the 100-person seating area.
Extra details that make Butlin’s breaks stress-free
Whether it is the entertainment venues or dining options, Butlin’s has carefully thought of all the needs of families with kids five and under.
Butlin's offers lots of different dining options to suit every family, whether guests prefer an easy, buffet-style breakfast and dinner plan with endless choice and unlimited ice cream or mixing it up each night with the DineAround package, trying out the resort’s different restaurants, with play areas at selected restaurants***.
Every buffet and on-resort restaurant has little ones in mind, with highchairs, space to park prams, bottle warming stations and children’s food options and menus. Guests booking the All Inclusive bundles can pick their preferred dining package, alongside the All Inclusive drinks package.
No need to stress about spillages as the All Inclusive drinks package includes unlimited soft drinks and juices. The package also includes unlimited draught beers, ciders, spirits, wine and cocktails, as well as Proud To Serve Costa Coffee, for parents’ well-deserved treats.
Not only are the West End-quality shows designed for kids five and under, the venues are as well. With open-plan seating layouts, there’s plenty of space for tots to sing, dance and move around, and room for pushchairs next to tables.
Across all the resorts, there are buggy parks and bottle warming stations, as well as baby and toddler friendly accommodation, with room for all the essentials. There’s a range of accommodation types, from apartments and rooms to Premium Lodges in Skegness and the nautical-inspired Shoreline Hotel in Bognor Regis, to suit every family’s needs and budgets.
