Celebrating 80 years of Butlin's
As Butlin's marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of its first holiday camp, the institution is not only still with us, it’s booming! A quintessential British holiday destination designed for fun whatever the weather, it offers families the chance to relax and enjoy themselves while staying close to home on Britain's beaches, as opposed to jetting off to foreign climes for guaranteed sunshine.
We sent Alison Hammond on a trip down memory lane to Butlin’s in Skegness, where she’s hoping to become a Red Coat and perhaps judge some limbo dancing or a knobbly knees competition.
