3 September 2025, Hemel Hempstead – Butlin's, the Home of Entertainment, celebrated Stephen Mulhern’s extraordinary milestone of entertaining over one million Butlin’s guests during an incredible three years of headline shows, joining Butlin’s Platinum B Club at his final performance for 2025.
Since Stephen Mulhern’s debut as a headline act in 2022, the star of Saturday night TV has taken to the Studio 36 stage over 240 times with his unbelievable illusions, magic tricks and shenanigans.
Stephen has a personal connection to Butlin’s, as the world-class magician and presenter was an iconic Redcoat at the Minehead resort in 1999 for two years. His Redcoat days played an important role in starting his career as an entertainer, as this was Stephen’s first break into the entertainment industry.
During his latest three years as a headline performer, Stephen stepped into the role of ambassador for the Home of Entertainment, taking to the spotlight in Butlin’s TV and radio adverts.
In 2023, he wore the iconic jacket once again to launch the brand-new Redcoat uniform and training academy, alongside unveiling a life-sized statue of himself at Stratford’s Westfield Shopping Centre.
This year marked Stephen Mulhern’s 25th year in showbiz, with the star choosing to celebrate the monumental occasion back where it all started.
Before taking a break from performing at Butlin’s, he created a brand-new show, Out of This World, exclusively for the brand.
After Stephen’s final Out of This World show at the Bognor Regis resort, Butlin’s Entertainment Director Mike Godolphin presented the former Redcoat the special award. The star is the first act to join the Platinum B Club, celebrating performers who have entertained over one million guests.
Mike Godolphin, Butlin’s Entertainment Director, said: “Stephen has been a brilliant ambassador for Butlin’s, since returning three years ago. Not only has he wowed our audiences with his breathtaking illusions and incredible shows, he’s played a big role in cementing our place as The Home of Entertainment – from helping us launch our Redcoat uniform in 2023 to starring in our TV and radio ads.
“We’ve loved every moment of working with Stephen and I’m so proud to honour his contribution with this brand-new award. I have no doubt our paths will cross again, and we’ll have him headlining the Studio 36 stage again.”
