'It’s highly affordable and the activities are an excellent opportunity to share the fun with our children.' Butlins
is the largest of three Butlins sites; Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness. Situated on the edge of Exmoor and overlooking the sandy beach, the iconic pointed marquee stands proud amid the seaside backdrop.A short walk into Minehead will see you immersed into a quaint seaside resort. The promenade is lined with interesting noticeboards and nautical-themed playparks for children. A little further and across the road and you’re at Minehead Station - England’s longest heritage railway.
We could tell that we were close to some of the activities so we had a look online and used the map to guide ourselves around. Next to us, we found AstroTurf football pitches with a basketball court, all available to use at your leisure. Our children are too young but very much enjoyed getting sandy in the giant sand pit next door.
The quantity of activities was vast and not all of them were of interest to our young children. For us, Peppa Pig, Thomas’ Race Day and Justin Fletcher were the favourites. The highlight of the holiday for us was meeting Justin Fletcher. My son knows him as Justin and Mr Tumble and adores all his shows, especially Something Special. As a three-year-old gazing up at his hero, he was in disbelief. We watched him perform with lots of confetti cannons and music for the children to jump around and dance to and then were lucky enough to meet him after the show to get some pictures and autographs.
Without a food plan in place, there are many other restaurants around the resort which catered to different preferences. Food styles included grill-house, fish & chips, pizza, sandwiches, seafood and more. There was also Burger King and Costa for light bites, sweet shops and an ice-cream parlour for a treat.book a 4-night trip on 13-17th March 2023
All the on-site staff were very friendly and helpful, assisting us with our son who often becomes overwhelmed, especially when waiting in long queues. The Butlins staff were kind enough to allow us early entry into all the pre-booked shows and pantomime meaning we never had to worry about that.
