WATCH: Halloween-themed fun announced for 'spooktober' at Butlin's Skegness
Staff at Butlin’s Skegness are busy transforming the resort ready for the return of their Halloween experience.
The company says it is expecting more than 30,000 guests for its upcoming Spooktober short-stay holidays.
Themed attractions include the ‘scareground’ fairground, Halloween entertainment on stage, wrestling and an ‘Eerily Silent Disco’.
“The resort is being transformed in October, with the fairground becoming the Scareground after dark and unlimited rides included in the price of every break,” a Butlin’s spokesperson said. “A brand-new Skyline Gang show created exclusively for October will join a line-up of Halloween entertainment and activities, with four-night term-time breaks starting from £39 for a family of four or October Half Term stays from £144.
“Halloween costumes are encouraged, with families invited to show off their moves at the Eerily Silent Disco or create their own pumpkin designs.”
Alongside the seasonal programme, guests will have access to Splash Waterworld pools, playgrounds like SKYPARK, soft play and Butlin’s year-round live entertainment including the new Peppa Pig-Nic Celebration featuring Evie Pig, Animals and Mythical Beasts.
“New for 2026 is Skyline Gang Monster Mash Up, created exclusively for Spooktober breaks,” the spokesperson explained. “The gang will compete in a Halloween showdown to be crowned the scariest, with the audience choosing the winner.
“During October Half Term, Studio 36 will host Maximum Pro Wrestling alongside The Masked Singer Live with a line-up of mystery celebrities and disguises from the latest TV series, including ‘Bush’. This is the final chance to see The Masked Singer Live at Butlin's.”
Guests on October Half Term breaks will also get to enjoy an exclusive fireworks display.
Mike Godolphin, Entertainment Director at Butlin’s said: “With autumn well and truly upon us, our teams are busy transforming all three resorts for Spooktober. Next month is one of our favourite moments in the Butlin’s calendar, and we want families to feel the Halloween atmosphere from the moment they arrive on their holiday. There’s a brilliant energy across the resorts during this time of the year and we can’t wait to welcome the tens of thousands of guests visiting us this October.”
