Butlin's Big Weekender unveils headliners for seven new dates of 'mayhem'
Butlin's is introducing seven brand-new Big Weekenders in 2025 and 2026 across all three resorts—Bognor Regis, Minehead, and Skegness—and also offering a 20% discount off the adult-only breaks The biggest holiday park party weekend of the year is back and bigger than ever. Butlin's Big Weekenders is an event exclusively for adults that turns the three Butlin's holiday parks into a riot of music and drinking. The event is known for bringing the same kind of chaotic good vibes that Brits typically venture out to Magaluf or Zante in search of. "I went to a Skegness 80s one for my stag do (was 26). The best way I can describe it was freshers week (weekend) for people in their 40s and 50s who didn't go to uni. Just mayhem, really. At one point I was drinking rum and Coke out of a large sock whilst watching a band," one happy customer relayed on Reddit. Another fondly remembered: "I think on the whole we can all agree the crowd is very much the salt of the earth (myself included), however in all the times, I haven't seen even so much as an argument, never mind a fight. The whole setup is brilliant and everyone is just on their best, albeit their most unhinged behaviour. I'm a gay guy and I've been in fancy dress as a woman a couple of times - nothing but good vibes from every single person I met. No homophobia, nothing." Now Butlin's is introducing seven brand-new Big Weekenders in 2025 and 2026 across all three resorts—Bognor Regis, Minehead, and Skegness—and also offering a 20% discount off the adult-only breaks. Many of them are themed and include weekends dedicated to the best electronic or funky 90s soul music and celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community and Mod culture. The Big Weekender features bands and DJs alongside a packed schedule of daytime and evening activities, such as pool parties and pop-up exhibitions. The ticket price includes three nights' accommodation. Here's what's coming up: 2025 Halloweekenders (Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness, 3 – 31 October) from £53pp Classic decade-themed Big Weekenders across all three resorts are getting a spooky makeover this October, transforming into Halloweekenders.

DJ Spoony Presents UNDRGRND (Skegness, 7 – 10 November) from £96pp For the first time, DJ Spoony is heading to Skegness for 72 hours of clubbing heaven with his brand-new multi-genre break UNDRGRND, following the sell-out success of his A House Full of Garage Weekenders. From £96pp, committed clubbers will not only see the garage pioneer himself, but also David Rodigan, Majestic and radio DJs Rickie & Melvin, playing a mash up of R&B and Dancehall, House and Garage, and Jungle and Drum n Bass.

A stay at Bognor Regis will set you back £87 per night during the same dates, and Minehead £123 - coming in at the most expensive. Jordan previously explained on This Morning about the last-minute deals that you can sometimes find rooms for just £45, so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on their website throughout the year for a good offer. He said: "These are last-minute breaks at Butlin's. These are four-night stays, starting on a Monday, leaving on a Friday, now these are in term times you can't get these on school holidays but these are for last-minute breaks at places like Bognor Regis, Skegness and Minehead - £45, four nights, which is ridiculous."
