THAT WEEKENDER FEELING When was the last time you had a big weekend? When you got all your mates together and really let your hair down? If the answer’s “ages ago”, then it’s time to dig out your best fancy dress, fire up the group chat and get planning! Inside our handy guide you’ll find epic line-ups, exclusive early bird prices and offers, as well as all the info you need to book your Butlin’s Big Weekender.
4
Our Big Weekenders are truly unique. Where else can you find incredible headline acts, endless daytime activities, restaurants, and accommodation all in one place? Nope, we can’t think of anywhere either! Everyone's here for a great time, to make new memories and spend quality time with their friends without having to spend their life savings. If having an epic weekend away isn’t a good enough reason to book, then here’s six more… Visit BIGWEEKENDS.COM or call 0330 102 5295

BIG NAMES, LOW PRICES It wouldn’t be a Big Weekender without some incredible headline acts! You’ll hear all sorts of music pumping through our venues, with mind-blowing live performances from world-class artists and DJs. No matter your taste in music, our wallet-friendly weekends span all your favourite decades and genres, so you can have a blast without keeping an eye on your bank account.
STRETCH YOUR TIME, NOT YOUR BUDGET If you’re going to spend your hard-earned cash on a Big Weekender, the least we can do is make sure it’s filled to the brim with things to do. While big-name acts and headline moments sit at the heart of our weekends, our activities add an extra dimension of fun, so you can fill your days without emptying your wallet. Think pool parties, silent discos, fairground thrills and more.
MAXIMUM LAUGHS, MINIMAL SPENDS Our Weekenders are big on fun and small on spends. When you’re not dancing to your favourite acts, join in with karaoke and Bingo Bango, an exclusive experience packed with party anthems and hilarious onstage antics. For even more weekend laughs, there’s live comedy shows and our fancy dress party, complete with prizes for the best outfits! Giant inflatable unicorn anyone?
6
MULTIPLE VENUES, ONE HUGE PARTY Sometimes average just doesn’t cut it. Why have one stage, when you can have three of the best live music venues in the country? Bounce between Reds, Centre Stage, and the Skyline Pavilion, and soak up the incredible atmosphere! One minute you’ll be singing along to your favourite artist, the next dancing your feet off to a high-energy DJ set.
GO ALL IN, ALL IN ONE PACE The best thing about a Big Weekender? Everything’s all in one place! Feeling hungry? We’ve got you. Want to watch sports? Go for it. Fancy some fairground thrills? No problem! From entertainment venues and restaurants to somewhere to sleep and shop, everything’s within easy walking distance so there’s no need to call a cab or search for ‘things to do locally’.
REST ASSURED, YOU’LL SLEEP EASY Love festivals but hate camping? We’ve got a solution for that. From hotels and lodges to rooms and self-catering apartments, you won’t have to travel far for a comfy bed and shower after your night out! We’ve got a range of options to suit all budgets and needs, so you can sleep easy knowing you’re getting great value for money. Aaand... relax!

VALUE FOR MONEY What could be better than booking a weekend away? Booking a weekend away at the best possible price, of course! Especially when we’re all feeling the squeeze at the moment. That’s why we offer low deposits from just £15pp and our Lowest Price Guarantee ensures you’ll never pay a penny more. And, with so much included in the price, it doesn’t have to break the bank.
8
LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE
LOW DEPOSITS FROM £15PP
BOOK EARLY AND SAVE
Never pay a penny more with our price promise! If you see your weekend on sale for a lower price any time after you book, we’ll give you back the difference.
Our weekenders sell out fast, but you can secure your spot for as little as £15pp. Give yourself something to look forward to with a small upfront cost, then pay the rest later. Easy!
The earlier you book, the less you’ll pay! And you’ll get the best choice of dates and accommodation, plus it means more time to save up, get organised and plan your outfits.
SPREAD THE COST
GREAT OFFERS
SO MUCH INCLUDED
Paying for your Big Weekender couldn’t be easier thanks to Auto Pay. It’s quick, safe and secure, and you can make payments at any time, for any amount – whatever works for you!
Who doesn’t love a deal? Our online and on-resort offers will make your money go further. Eat for three days and only pay for two on all weekends or feel like a rock star with a VIP pass.
Pool parties? Check! Silent discos? Check! Fairground rides? Check! Add to that some epic tunes and daytime activities, and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable weekend away!

We’re talking pool parties, silent discos, live comedy, Bingo Bango… the list goes on! There’s so much to do, you’ll probably struggle to fit it all in.
