It's showtime!: Butlin's in Skegness prepares to reopen

Staff at the Lincolnshire resort - and the other venues at Bognor Regis and Minehead - have been working hard behind the scenes to create an exciting new line-up of live shows and exclusive entertainment.

Millions of pounds have been invested in building a state-of-the-art, 860-seater indoor entertainment venue, ‘Studio 36’, to make sure the shows can go on and families are kept Covid-safe.

The new all-weather entertainment venues are a feature at all of the resorts and have been designed with socially distancing guidelines in mind and are fully equipped with air-conditioning and heating so guests can fully enjoy the entertainment on offer.

Here is what you can expect when the resort in Skegness opens on May 16

Exclusive Entertainment and Live Shows

After a year of life on pause for British families, it is time for the show to go on. Guests of all ages can get that Saturday night feeling every night of the week, enjoying star names for 2021 including X-Factor’s Fleur East and Max & Harvey, as well as the new and exclusive to Butlin’s show ‘The Diversity Games’, featuring Britain’s favourite street dance troupe. Meanwhile, youngsters can cheer with excitement when Peppa Pig and her brother George hit the stage in a brand new mini-show, whilst PJ Masks fans can practice their superhero moves during an action-packed on stage adventure. Children can also watch Thomas & Friends™ steam into Butlin’s in the exclusive live show ‘Thomas’ Race Day’.
