Butlin's Skegness announces 'exciting' line-up of live shows for 2027 - including Britain's Got Talent

Britain’s Got Talent will headline every school holiday break in 2027 at the Skegness resort – along with a host of others shows to entertain guests at the resort.

"Created exclusively for Butlin’s, the nation’s favourite talent show will be brought to life in the 2000-seater Studio 36 venue, with the iconic judges’ desk, golden buzzer and four red crosses,” a Butlin’s spokesperson explains.

“Every show will be hosted by mystery celebrity presenters and feature a line-up of familiar faces from the world of Britain’s Got Talent. Plus, guests could find themselves stepping into the spotlight to show off their own talents.”

In total, eight new shows will join Butlin’s entertainment line-up in 2027. Other shows include:

• Every break from February Half Term will see DreamWorks’ Madagascar - A Musical Adventure take to the stage. Based on the hit film, the musical follows the friends as they escape from New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on a wild journey to Madagascar.

• On selected Showtime Midweek breaks, families with kids five and under can join children’s TV star Andy Day as he stomps into Studio 36 with Andy’s Dino Rap. The fact-packed show will take little ones on a musical journey through the prehistoric world.

• On every school holiday break is the concert-style K-Pop Forever! Production. Tapping into the global K-pop phenomenon, the high-energy show will feature hits from Blackpink, BTS, Twice and Katseye.

• Following the success of Animals and Mythical Beasts, the Animal Guyz are back with what is described as “a jaw-dropping, exclusive show” on all breaks from February Half Term. Animals Magnified will bring some of the world’s biggest mammals and smallest insects to life on a whole new scale.

• Three new West End-quality Butlin's Productions are set for 2027. A Billion Streams will celebrate some of the world’s biggest songs. Guests will also rock out with the Skyline Gang in Band Together from February Half Term, while Playtime Party will have guests joining Billy and Bonnie Bear for an interactive show.

The spokesperson added: “Unlike many other UK holiday destinations, there’s so much more included in the price of a Butlin’s break, from accommodation and the Splash Waterworld pools to all live shows and unlimited fairground rides. Plus, there’s plenty of playgrounds and soft play centres to enjoy at no extra cost, including the £2.5 million SKYPARK playground in Skegness.”

Mike Godolphin, Entertainment Director at Butlin’s, added: “As the Home of Entertainment, live shows are at the heart of what we do, and our 2027 line-up is one of our most exciting yet. We’re taking things to another level by bringing Britain’s Got Talent to our resort for the first time, with celebrity presenters and performers that families will recognise from the show.

“From Madagascar and K-pop to dinosaurs and some of the biggest songs in the world, we’ve created a line-up with something for every age. Best of all, it’s all part of the Butlin’s experience, so families can enjoy brilliant live entertainment throughout their break at no extra cost.”
