Major UK holiday resort launching £1 day passes for kids
A major UK holiday resort has relaunched its popular £1 day passes for children - but families will need to be quick as the bargain deal is only available for a limited time.
This April and May, Butlin's is offering day passes on selected dates to all three of its resorts: Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.
For just £1, toddlers, children and teens under 15 can enjoy an action-packed day out, where they can watch a range of incredible live shows, hop on unlimited fairground rides, whiz down water slides or take a dip in pools at Splash Waterworld, and more.
Between 29 April and 22 May and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, up to four children aged between 2 to 14 can visit for £1 each with one full paying adult pass, starting from £15.
Butlin's' incredible offer is back by popular demand following the launch of its £1 day pass in March, which saw a 30 per cent increase of day visitors across all three parks.
The Bognor Regis and Minehead resorts are open to day visitors from 10am to 8pm, while the Skegness resort is open until 6pm.
Throughout the day, little ones can be entertained with a packed schedule of live shows in the Skyline Pavilion, all included in the day pass.
Kids can show off their best moves with Peppa Pig herself in Peppa Pig's Dance Party or snap selfies with pre-historic predators at the brand-new Dino Expo.
Other live shows and entertainment include the all-year-round pantomime, Snow White and Her Magnificent Friends, the showstopping Animals and Mythical Beasts or The Butlin's Party Show hosted by Mister Maker.
For those looking to cool off in the midweek during warmer days, Splash Waterworld pools provide water-based fun for all at its three resorts.
Overflowing with rides, slides and flumes, as well as a dedicated tots pool, these can all be enjoyed during guests' two-hour swim slot, also included in the day pass.
Pass holders can also hop on unlimited fairground rides throughout the day, which includes a variety of family favourite rides, as well as tots-sized fairground rides at the Little Stars Fairground.
And as if the shows, pool and fairground weren't enough activities included in the pass, kids in Minehead and Skegness have the opportunity to explore the all-new £2.5 million SKYPARK, a modern playground children of all abilities can enjoy.
Meanwhile, Bognor Regis day visitors can bounce, climb and play in the brand-new £1.8mil Skyline Gang Soft Play.
At eight metres high and covering 3,000 square feet, the new space is filled across four storeys with climbing challenges, slides, log ramps, cargo nets and more, plus a multi-sensory space for babies.
What's more, for the same incredible price of £1, kids can enjoy a delicious meal from the kids' menu, available daily from 12 to 3pm in selected restaurants on resorts.

All action-packed day passes can be pre-booked online now on Butlins' website.
For guests who wish to extend their visit with a four-night Showtime Term-Time Midweek break, breaks start from £123 (£31 pp).
It comes as Chessington World of Adventures has announced it will be home to the first and only Paw Patrol-themed land.
The new multi-million pound land will be Chessington's largest attraction for preschoolers.
Set across 1.4 acres, it will feature four thrilling rides - including an entry-level 'My first rollercoaster' - as well as play areas, and interactive character 'meet and greet' events.

Butlin's revamp holiday park and prices start at £69
The discount can be used on the revamped Bognor Regis resort where a soft play centre and puppet theatre have been unveiled Butlin's is offering a huge summer sale across all of its holidays throughout 2025 and 2026, with discounts of up to 40% waiting to be snapped up. This includes Midweek Showtime breaks at Bognor Regis starting from £69 in June, Summer Holidays Feat Stephen Mulhern 3-night getaways from £352, and special Justin Fletcher Tots Breaks priced from just £79 in September. The Bognor Regis resort has recently been revamped, with Butlin's pulling out all the stops for holidaymakers this summer. The company's largest-ever indoor Soft Play centre and a brand-new Puppet Theatre have been unveiled at the resort. The new attractions are already proving a hit with families nationwide, with thousands more predicted to descend during the school holidays. The new soft play centre sprawls over 3,000 square feet across four floors, accommodating up to 200 lively little explorers at once - that's double the capacity of the previous attraction. Access to the play area is included in the cost of a family break and day passes. Catering to children of all ages, the Skyline Soft Play is divided into three zones, each themed around the vibrant characters of the beloved Butlin's Skyline Gang. Each character has their own dedicated section brimming with slides, climbing challenges, log ramps, cargo nets and more, plus a generous multi-sensory area for babies. For parents needing a breather while the kids play, there's a cosy new 100-seat café area where they can unwind with a brew. As reported by Bristol Live, this latest addition to the soft play centre follows hot on the heels of last year's opening of the £15 million PLAYXPERIENCE - a cutting-edge 50,000 square feet immersive gaming attraction. The West Sussex resort has welcomed another exciting addition alongside its soft play centre - a brand-new Puppet Theatre. This enchanting venue will showcase captivating, family-friendly string puppet shows, with new productions like Under The Sea, Jingle in the Jungle, and Christmouse giving guests a glimpse into the magical world that awaits them this year. In a bid to make holidays more affordable for families, the puppet shows are complimentary for those on Butlin's breaks and day visits. The entertainment team promises an unforgettable experience, complete with mesmerising string-pulling action, hilarious characters, and plenty of 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the little ones. This £1.8 million investment is the latest in a series of exciting developments across Butlin's three seaside resorts. The £15 million indoor activity centre PLAYXPERIENCE at Bognor Regis boasts nine immersive gaming experiences, including laser tag, a VR games arcade, escape rooms, and more. Additionally, a second £2.5 million SKYPARK has opened in Minehead, offering an inclusive and interactive playground for children of all abilities. Last year also saw a significant £12 million investment in new Premium Lodges at the Maple Walk village in Skegness, featuring 128 contemporary-designed lodges at the heart of the Lincolnshire resort. Holiday parks remain a beloved Great British institution, with millions of families returning year after year to join in the fun. If Butlin's isn't quite the right fit, Haven Holidays is celebrated for breath-taking coastal views and a wealth of caravan accommodations. It's an idyllic choice for those drawn to the call of nature and traditional seaside jaunts, yet it's Butlins that remains unchallenged in delivering top-notch family fun with its array of immersive and themed adventures. Parkdean Resorts echoes a similar vibe, boasting 66 parks studded along the UK's sought-after coastal regions. Echoing Haven's ethos, Parkdean thrives with inviting swimming pools, convenient on-site dining, and an assortment of seaside activities aimed at families. Center Parcs holds a special place in the hearts of many families, renowned for its array of activities nestled within the UK's enchanting forests. Although universally adored, the only sting is the cost that's notably steep over school breaks. Butlin's Bognor Regis has garnered more than 3,900 five-star testimonials on TripAdvisor. Captivated by their experience, a guest recounted: "We had a lovely Easter break at Butlin's Bognor. Top quality entertainment, engaging and friendly staff and we had the weather too. Such good fun for young and old alike. Very impressed with the new soft play, the Splash water park was fabulous and from start to finish we received nothing but exceptional customer service." Another weighed in, saying: "This was our third visit to Butlin's within two years, needless to say we absolutely love brand new soft play and play experience are brilliant, soft play has very generous opening hours and the staff are really observant, looks like a much better replacement from the arena soft play." One family remarked: "We had a fun-filled tots week, busy all day, every day. Playxperience was a new 1 for us and we all enjoyed neo games- 4yr old right up to 60s." However, not every visitor came away with glowing reviews. A less satisfied guest mentioned: "Decided to give Butlin's a go for half term. Overall, for us adults, everything was a bit meh except for the entertainment, which was awesome." Someone else left a five-star review which reads: "Always things to do never get bored. Very clean apartment. New playxperience building is very good, packed with new, fun experiences. Had great fun in laser tag. Brilliant and helpful staff." All of Butlin's holiday deals can be viewed here, including Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness. Guests could also bag up to 40% off on meal packages depending on the date and location.

Cole Palmer: I don't know why goals dried up but it will make me better
While I was waiting for Cole Palmer, a colleague got out his phone. 'Did you see it?' he said to me. 'Cole congratulating Mummy Pig on having another baby.' We peered to check it was real, because on that sparse, cool, alternative planet Palmer lives on, you're sometimes not sure what is. And there was the Instagram post: the image of a newspaper story about series nine of Peppa Pig involving the arrival of new little sister, Evie Pig, with a comment from colepalmer10 beneath it: 'Nah this is so sick bruv congratulations Mummy Pig [fire emoji].' And then Palmer saunters into the room for the interview. We're at England's training camp in Girona and the players have had a recovery day. What did the 23-year-old get up to? 'Just went on a bike ride, didn't I?' And so it begins, another session in Palmer's laconic, bemused, inimitable presence. He doesn't do much press and last sat down with England reporters during Euro 2024, where he was unintentionally/intentionally hilarious about beans. This time there are fewer odd digressions and more football — maybe because he is slowly warming to the idea of being a star and people being interested in what he says. One answer stretches to five sentences. Short sentences, but the person in our group who knows him best says they have never heard him speak so much. He is asked about his season with Chelsea, which started with a cavalcade of goals and assists before suddenly going dry. Why? 'I don't know. You tell me.' Was it because he's young and such dips in form are inevitable when you're still growing as a footballer? 'I don't know. I just think it was one of them things when things weren't happening for me. It went on a bit longer than I thought it would go on. But I spoke to people about it and they explained it was going to happen. But they said that when I get out of it, I'll be an even better player than I was before.' Who did the Mancunian speak to? 'I know myself players will go through it. I'm not stupid. But it was just people at the club [Chelsea].' There were bumps during his youth career at Manchester City: did those experiences prepare him to dig in and persevere? 'You was a lot different. But then you go into Chelsea and you do that from a jump, and then you go into a dip, you just think, 'What's going on?' I don't mind. Obviously I did mind, but I didn't think it was the end of the world.' He's interesting on Chelsea's progression, suggesting that the final week of the season, involving beating Nottingham Forest to finish fourth before winning the Conference League, was crucial and that one of his big ambitions with the club is to win the Champions League. He already has a winner's medal, having been an unused substitute for City in the 2023 final. 'I always say, I don't feel like a Champions League winner, if I'm being honest. It doesn't really mean anything to me. 'People say it, but I weren't involved. Obviously I played in the group [stage] and stuff like that, but it's not the same, is it?' he says. He did, though, come off the bench in the final of Euro 2024 to give England hope of lifting the trophy by transcending a laboured performance with a brilliant, insouciant goal that made it 1-1, only for Spain to score a winner. He seemed so unaffected by the occasion, unlike nearly all his team-mates. 'I was just getting ready to come on like all the other games I came on, try and make an impact. I thought, 'It's the final, the last game, we're losing, I've got nothing to lose.' Well, we did, the biggest game of our career, but you know what I mean. So, yeah, that's what I was trying to do,' he says with a shrug. Is a strength of his being able to stay in the moment? 'Yeah, I think so. An occasion like that [the Euros final], if you think about it, it might get the better of you. So I just try not to.' It's stuff like this, being so effortlessly chilled about being a fabulous footballer, that seems to lie at the heart of his appeal to younger fans. In the playground and on social media they revel in his nickname, 'Cold' and his famous shivering goal celebration. Does he like it? 'Yeah. Obviously, when you see kids and that doing what they're doing and saying things, it's nice.' Is it that he has a charisma that youngsters, in particular, 'get'? 'I don't know. I'm just being myself.' There was a remarkable moment last October at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea and Forest players had a mêlée. Almost every player was involved. Except Palmer. He just eyed all the pushing and shoving and detached himself, sitting alone on the pitch. Why is he so laid-back? 'I couldn't even tell you. Maybe my dad is laid-back.' Does his family comment on it? 'My mum does, yeah. But my dad says, 'He's just like me, so just leave him alone.' What does mum say? 'Like, try and be a bit more involved and a bit more smiley and energetic and that.' When is the last time he got angry? 'Maybe when I played PlayStation or something. I'm not just a robot like you guys in the media think I am and don't show no emotion. Obviously when there's no cameras and I'm on my phone to my mates and I'm doing stuff I enjoy doing…' When we met Palmer at the Euros he made us laugh about adapting to life down south. When he signed for Chelsea it was the first time, barring matches and family holidays, he had ever left the north of England. He had said (with a little smile) he found southerners 'moody'. Is this still the case? 'They're all still like that,' he says. 'I think cos it's so busy, they're all stressed and that. It must be a southern thing. Sometimes I go into central London, but I couldn't live there.'
