#Butlins #Bognor #Holidayparks
What a contrast to the Pontins resorts. Bright, clean, and in good condition. Even the chalets look well kept. With the exception of the Marquee.
Yeah but an absolute rip off. The prices they charge are more than going abroad!
@@LMCSM thats why we stopped going, used to go as a child. But even in 1996 my parents wored out it was cheeper for us as a family of 3 to go to spain.
I did visit again around 2000 becasue I don't like flying and was old enough for my parents to listen to me that I wasnt going on a plane. But it just wasnt the same. I felt like I was too old for the place then.
As it should be with the prices they charge!
but it more like a retail park
Butlins used to look like a pontins until it spent a load money doing up the camps
Maybe one day Britannia will sell up to someone who can do the same
Pure nostalgia, this was one of my favourite places in the world as a kid. So glad I found this video and the memories flooding back.
Back in 2000ish a group of mental 40 ish olds went to bognor for a rock weekend. The accomodation was great, we had a fantastic weekend and I lost my voice. Brilliant
Just come back from there as we spent a week with the grandchildren. Fantastic time had by all.
It's changed a heck of a lot since I was last there on holiday in 2002. They had no hotels on it then but the foundations were being put in for one across the car park from where we were staying. I loved seeing the place again via your video.
thanks for watching
I was pregnant and working there at that time working in the games in the Dome
Butlins was my childhood holiday I used to go in spring and summer I'm gonna miss staying over there...might go back if adults are allowed to go without a kid because It brings back good old times
I stayed at Butlins Bognor Regis all my childhood (I'm 34 now ) and all the way up to 2012. I stayed in the old chalets there everytime. Loved the accommodation the entertainment was amazing food choice was great, arcades, cinema, funfair, swimming pool the staff were fantastic. . I used to go there before the skyline pavilion was built. I think I went From 1992 onwards. Every year this was always my no.1 choice for a holiday. . It's definitely the ideal British holiday resort.
agree
Butlins Bognor Regis - Went here twice with my middle school in '88 and '89 and had some great times. Brings back some brilliant memories.
So, so different now, but the core of the place still remains; only more up-to-date.
In fact, you walked past one of the ACTUAL chalet rooms I stayed in back then, when you went for a stroll thru the Oyster Bay Chalets!!!
I took my children to Bognor Butins in the late 90s.
Just before Christmas, the weather had been truly awful, so the swimming pool was not open, had been flooded by sea water!
The voachers we were given as compensation were actually 4x what I had paid for the holiday!
was concieved there in the 70's lol amaising place
Worked there 1974/1975 met my wife there she also was a staff member.46 years later were still married.loved it met and worked with some really smashing people.would have loved to have stayed and built a life in bognor but even then property was expensive .thanks for the tour Tim
Good time I have worked on holiday camps
I went here in 2014 (age 10) and 2018 (14). Really enjoyed it both times. The entertainment was brilliant, spent most of my time in the arcades or at the old water park, lol.
My Mum used to stay here in the 70s, I've seen the pictures and it doesn't even look like the same place.
wow
Butlins Skegness - What's Happened!?👉ruclips.net/video/Rpw1QN43CCE/видео.html
You do it do well
This is by far, my favourite Butlins, went to Skegness, weren't that impressed, Mine head, weren't that impressed, Bognor Regis, absolutely impressed! Last time i went there i was in the ocean hotel on the 2nd Floor. It was amazing! recommended 10/10!
The wave hotel Apartments are the best for me, comes with a sea view and massive balcony. You also get a kitchen, Fridge etc if you wanted to cook your own meals.
agree
I love being on the move with you; traveling, seeing new things, experiencing moments. Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoy it!
Butlins at Bognor is not ‘experiencing a moment’ my friend 😂
@@TC-jg3cz probs his childhood mate
Stopped at the Shoreline Hotel last year, first time at Butlins, was very impressed. Loved the hotel. Food was really good too. Entertainment 👍❤️
I used to come here on holiday every year as a child. Always good to see how it’s changed. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you! for watching Rachel
I visited Butlins Bognor Regis in January last year and was really pleasantly surprised with how good it was.
Brings back memories Tim, I worked security at Bognor Regis Butlins for 3 years! The accomodation for the staff (original 1960's chalet blocks) were demolished to build the new Splash waterworld. Thank you for the tour!
wow I bet you have some stories Thanks Steve
I worked here at the very end of the 1980's. Didn't recognise much but great to see the place looking so good. I was at Pwllheli before that and Warners (later Haven) on the Isle of Wight afterwards, all great places to work and loved them all.
I used to work in the hairdressing salon in the nineties, it was a private salon the lady closed the salon up with out the staff knowing, so we all lost our jobs and our months wages 😪🧐
Hey Steve. I worked Security there as well back in 1989/90. Few names I remember Graham Noble, Pete Flyn, Mark Lawrence, Carl Ludlam, Ian Spencer. You there at that time?
Looks good, nice to see they've made a real effort to make it modern. Always went to Butlins when I was a kid, my Mum and Dad were real Butlins stalwarts. I never complained and always had a great time ❤
Hi Tim went to butlins in the 1960 years with mum and dad at bognor all changed now, You dont go hungry there plenty of places to eat, The chalets looked nice,
That's very true
I went in May this year for my ?? Birthday and I had a fantastic time. I couldn't fault anything. The Gold apartment was clean and had everything we needed, every single member of staff were polite and friendly, and the whole site was well maintained. I spent many summer holidays here with my parents in the 80s, then took my children in the 90s and 00s. I have stayed in the Wave and Ocean hotels which are so modern, the decor is fab and the lifts have coloured lights and play disco music! I have never had one bad experience here. Loved your video and the only thing stopping me booking again is the price - in the summer holidays you're looking at £1000 to stay before food and spending money 😮
Certainly changed since I've been there spent many happy holidays with my family as a child, we went several times as a group consisting of 3 families, this was in the mid to late 70's so you only had a bedroom, had shower blocks and a shared dining room which everyone dined in. I loved the roller rink, it only had an outdoor pool, but absolutely had an amazing time. As kids we spent all day playing on our own or at the groups it was so safe
I echo other commenters on here when I say it is on another level to the sad, run down, Pontins resorts you have visited. As a kid my parents took me to Filey and Pwllheli and I have fond memories of both. However, the last of those visits was in 1983 so this has been a useful video for me as I had no idea what comprised a Butlins resort these days.
I really like Butlins Bognor it is my favourite out of the 3 . I just hope when the new owners come in whoever they might be they continue the good work
I loved Butlins Bognor, I have been several times in the past, the chalets are clean, comfortable, I even stayed in a Hotel over 10 years ago, but I much prefer the chalets as they are way better, there is so much to do with entertainment especially of a night time! 😊
I’m in Canada , how about taking a trip over here for our version of Butlins …basically camping out in the woods in tents or wooden huts , a real back to nature experience .
Bognor Regis is my home town but I not see Butlin in Bognor Regis Thank you show Butlin in Bognor Regis.
You're welcome lisa
Everything clean, maintained and working. Full marks.
yep agree
I’m from Bognor my first job was Cleaning the chalets and I’ve worked in the supermarket and on the games when the first built the dome
Wow. Butlins has certainly changed since my last visit to Pwllheli in the 80s!
Lol
I love the old Wales butlins 2
Yes me too Pwllheli was very old in comparison in the early 70s great fun though
agree! thats going back!
It looks quite attractive, well maintained! The lawns are well manicured.Quite colourful,fun signage on the rides. Not being in the UK I have never seen a holiday camp but I know of their past glories!❤🇨🇦
Went with the family last summer during the heatwave, hotel room had large balcony overlooking the sea 🌊. Fantastic break loved every minute.
I travel to many holiday hotspots in posh hotels in Spain, Greece, Italy etc and still enjoy a good old fashion knees up in blighty just like when I was a kid. This is a good butlins, so is Skeg if the weather is right.
The Skyline pavilions are well overdue to be updated. When they were put in place in the late-1990s, they were said to be made out of a "self-cleaning" material, but were only meant to last for 15 years.
There were plans to replace them a couple of years ago but Bourne Leisure (Butlins parent company ) was sold last year and Bournes new owners have put Butlins up for sale. So unless whoever buys Butlins change them I don't think anything will be done with them soon
Here right now, I usually come once a year as I also used to work here in the mid-nineties so have friends that ended up staying in Bognor plus some that lived here anyway. Love being on the other side of things though and seeing all the changes.
thanks for watching
Hi Tim .. thanks for another great walk. Resting after cooking and that made for a nice distraction from all the dishes I needed to wash today. Lol.😂 Back to work for me. Thanks again. Have a wonderful week you and Gaby. ☀️
Lol Melissa 😆
@@WalkWithMeTim it is so true Tim. I enjoyed a nice walk with you .. maybe make it longer so I can take a longer break next time Tim. Lol 😆
ha ha maybe ill have to book one of the hotel rooms and do a room tour too
@@WalkWithMeTim great idea. Love your walks Tim. You have a great week.☀️
Just to let you know...the skyline 'roof' was due to come down this year (2021!) But instead they built the new venue where the old pool was. Skyline still due to come down at some point to recreate the outdoor section and see how it goes...I don't work there...I've just heard.
thanks for the update Simon
I think it will be put on hold until the new owners are found as I would presume it will be a costly and disruptive exercise.
Yay! Butlins Bognor. I'm off there on Friday for a girls weekend. Excellent music venue. We love the chalets, such a great vibe with the other people staying there. We normally try and go at least once a year.
You missed Centre stage, that's where all the best music is played.
Another great & fantastic video of Butlin's Bognor Regis FULL TOUR - Fairground, Accommodation & Skyline Pavilion!.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks Michael love the hearts
I have been going to Butlin’s at Bognor Regis since 1997.I go with my family.We went twice a
year.I go three times a year now, because I love the Music Weekends.You cannot beat the
Music Weekends.2022,will be my 25th Anniversary Year in going to Butlin’s at Bognor Regis.
I am looking forward to my 40th Anniversary.
Have fun
@@WalkWithMeTim
I must be a Living Legend at Butlin’s in
Bognor Regis.Over the years,I have got
to know many Staff.It is a GREAT PLACE
for Entertainment,Etc.
Stayed here about 10 times in the 80s absolutely loved it best place in the world!
My what a change from last time I went there. The last time I went there they had just put in the pavilion it was just a food court then. The one building that I will always remember was that had the disco / live band that everyone would go to at the end of the day. It had the arcade, dance floor, Bar and food. I might have to go down there and check it out some day.
you should
The tour was brilliant.I have been going to Butlins at Bognor Regis for about 25 years now.It is great.
Thanks colin
The last time I went here was in the late 90s. I even got my haircut at the hairdressers there - really good value! If it was good then, well it's even better now! How lovely to see!
Those Chalets in Oyster Bay the end with arches on used to be called "The Spanish End" it was more obvious before it got repainted.
Was there earlier this year, May 13-16 for football tournament. Had accommodation in Oyster Bay, they are just rooms and bathroom, and felt quite tired. Much of the site was clean and accessible, apart from the fairground was not open when our football matches had finished, so we couldn’t make use of it. The restaurants and food areas were good, as were the bar areas. If visiting again, would need to choose one of either Wave or Ocean hotels or Atlantic Bay apartments. Oyster Bay was very basic, and the hotel with the seascape carpet, a little young for my lot…..but overall the weekend was great fun with the people on site.
wow! not been to that camp since 1985 vast improvement over what was there back in the day
I came here for Christmas a couple of years ago…….BEST CHRISTMAS I HAVE EVER HAD WITH MY CHILDREN…ONLY THING, A BIT PRICEY !!!!🙏🏻🥰 Thank you Tim your a legend!!!🙏🏻🥰❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙
Thank you for watching, remember to subscribe
I used to go to butlins bognor regis for the line dancing weeks
Never been to to Bognor resort, been to Minehead and Skegness a few times. In fact worked at Minehead for 2 years and loved it.
would u recommend then
Changed a hell of a lot since I worked there in 95 as a chalet maid I absolutely loved it
Can't imagine what is this Butlins, compare to other videos I saw. That one look good , definitely would like to stay there, thank you Tim for video ❤
Update video coming Sunday
2:58 Chalet number 113.....The ACTUAL Chalet I stayed in, way back in 1988!!!
Insane!
Wow
Overall, it looks like there is something for the whole family. The staff were taking pride in cleaning the community areas. I wonder what the original Mr Butlin would think of this modern creation? For me it looks like a 9/10. With the trouble in travelling this business should be well placed to grow.
I know I wonder!
Lady Butlin did go there a few years back and was quoted as saying that she thought Billy would have loved it and been very pleased as to how it is today .
The pool is outstanding too! 40 million pound upgrade and it’s so good
yes defo
I love the names of these butlins. Seem Viking. I’m a gen x and never heard of this business until 2023.
Minehead and Skegness Butlins done in the same style would be brilliant please.
ok will do! ;-)
This has come up on YT literally hours after we've booked to stay in the Ocean next month :D
Spooky
Wow this has changed since I was last here as a 7 year old child. Now in my late 50s🫢
Lovely walk Tim, took me back years 😊
That blue New England look is great isn’t it 😊
Thanks again for the beautiful summer sunshine ☀️
Until the next time 👍🏻👍🏻
hey long time .. thank Steve
Skegness is the one with the New England styling.
wow, Bognor has really had a makeover since I worked at the camp in the early 90s.
As a disney world / universal orlando goer I can definitely recommend staying here. If you've had a bad experience at Minehead or Skegness in a chalet but still want the Butlins/Holiday Camp experience I'd stay here at a hotel. I normally stay at the Ocean and the rooms are up to date and clean from my experience. Camp is a bit small I guess but plenty to do for a few days and the food on the dinearound plan isn't too bad either and not bad value when you compare buying all of your meals outside of the resort. Yeah needs a lick of paint here and there but overall mainly positive experiences there all round.
We went in the hotels 2 years running’s with grandchildren , ocean really nice and clean big room with views and balcony , had meals too included good choice , really enjoyed the 4 days
Fantastic walk around Tim thank you 😊
Hey thanks mark
I was going here with my family. I am so excited to see these in person!
I was at Butlins Minehead last weekend for a Ibiza legends weekender with my mates stayed in the really old style one storie chalet with bedrooms and bathroom there tidy modern inside hi de hi style had great weekend the beer is expensive there tho a bit cheaper down the town better choice in real glass rather than plastic glasses I've been the bognor Butlins twice in January one year there was snow on the beach and it was freezing all weekend hopefully going the skeggy next year only one I've not been to Minehead is the best location for Butlins in a lovely town unspoilt place
I love the old style accommodation.. yes pricey beer
I’ve been here every year since 2016 (because of covid I didn’t go 2020 or 21) and honestly it’s great, fun for the whole family. I do miss the old splash waterworks though.
Thanks for watching
the older splash was the one with the bigger tower for the slides next to it right? or am i thinking of the wrong place? either way, its a really nice place (the whole park i mean)
Great vid, Tim. Love Atlantic Bay the most! ☺👍
Same here 😉
Been a while since I was there, those skyline pavillion canopies were supposed to be replaced after ten years, guess the refurbs elsewhere were deemed more important, they are in a poor state tho, theres usually a bucket or two dotted around in a downpour. 😊
wow really !
Brilliant Video.. we are off to Bognor Regis Next Week.. Thanks..! 👍✌️
Been there few times in the last ten years with the kids. They love it. The one in Minehead is great also👍
So I hear
What a difference between Pontins, where the staff obviously dont want you to be there or come back and Butlins where the staff have some pride in their work and want you to come back with your family year after year. I can only imagine this is a feeling generated by the management that has filtered down to the workers. I used to live at Burnham On Sea where the Pontins almost doubled the population during the summer holidays until it fell into disrepair. I then moved to Bognor Regis where the Butlins was so bad the guards on the gate were there to stop people escaping and now, after investment, it is a thriving community.
I worked here back in 2011 this Video brings back great memories thanks for another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Fascinating, I live just outside Bognor and I have never seen the inside of Butlins. It looks so apocalyptic with so few people about. The old chalets looked horrendous.
lol
Don't stay there, then. And why comment? I'm tired of people who seem to love using the words 'apocalyptic' and 'dystopian' in anything relating to the British seaside. Tourism's never been as big, so it's nonsense.
Brian Clark, I live in the town and have never been there either. It does look dystopian and apocalyptic with hardly anyone about. Like a ghost town or almost empty film set.
@@basylpeterjones Why should I not be allowed to comment, this is a free country is it not? And as I stated I have not stayed there as you said. And if I want to use the word apocalyptic then I shall do so. Where did I mention tourism?
@@briboy2009 I've stayed there a lot in the last 20 years as I see an '80s act that tend to be booked at Bognor, sometimes Skegness and occasionally Minehead: all very different towns. I prefer the chalets at Skegness and Minehead but Bognor's are alright but none are single ones and some are cramped. I've stayed in the Bognor camp's hotels too but they're all too pricy for me. The camp is always at near capacity. I like the minigolf opposite the pier and the cafe in Hotham Park but you'd think that the thousands at Butlin's would be able to support more attractions other than what's there and the town centre, which do benefit year-round from the visitors.
I worked at Bognor Butlins in the 60's as kitchen porter and it was great then
I love bognor butlins. Did u see the kids game room in the wave. My oldest loves it in the wave hotel. I have to say for me I prefer staying in the hotel especially the wave as u eat at the deck restaurant if u book food.
U can get some rooms really cheap especially tots breaks. I managed get one for 52.00 for 4 nights next year.
Wow good price Emma
Me too. I love it
Changed so much since I worked there in 1976, no hotels then
Wow and loads of chalets
I visited when I was 12 in 2008 and so came here to see what has changed. So much it seems. There was only 1 hotel back then. I stayed in a 2 floor house type thing on Oyster Bay.
I bet its changed!
@@WalkWithMeTim No Cinema anymore. Swimming pool in a completely different location.
I have really vivid memories of weird puppets and a noddy land from the early 2000’s here 😂
lol
Yup. The puppet show is still there. Albeit a different show now and no ‘puppet master’. And noddy land is no more sadly
Today is butlins is 86
Fun fact the bognor site had heavy rain when constructed it wasn't finished in time when the first campers came so billy offered at stay a clacton but some of the campers stayed behind and helped fix doors and windows and were given a free bottle of champagne
Thank you for the like
wow
@@WalkWithMeTim I know very interesting
@@WalkWithMeTim thanks for the like
Never stayed at Bognor Butlins. It's a great holiday park. Thank you Tim.
Very nice vlog tim. Love it 3 main new hotels and old accommodation is very nice love bognor
When u going for a visit
It's changed a lot since I was last there 30 years ago.
Worked here in 1989 as a waiter. Probably my favourite job. Yes the rumours are true.
?
I went to Bognor last week and i thought the town was great,,,,we parked in front of Butlins….lovely town..
I worked there in 1990 in a joke shop totally unrecognisable but it will was 30 years ago lol looks good ❤❤❤
Chalets look the same only thing that does
We are here now, Must have missed you!
I was here a few days ago :-)
I can remember transporting those beams that hold up the canvas roof and that was over 20yrs ago
wow
I've never been here before. But we're going next week. I just hope the weather gets better
❤been there years ago with mum n dad xx
Used to go to the skegness butlins for years as holiday with my daughter as that's the one nearest to me
Thanks for watching Joanne Jo
The three hotels represent three age groups, Shoreline - Kids, Wave - Teenagers, Ocean - Adults. Its nice to see things have been updated, and the new Splash is amazing compared to the old one which was falling apart and part of it boarded off, however the kids area in the main pavillion hasnt changed in the last 20-30 years, even with the same themeing.
The sky line parvlion reminders me of the Woolworth’s parvlion at the Melbourne show grounds in Melbourne Victoria Australia
ha hah.
I went here in 2019 great waterpark great nighttime entertanment and loads of other great thing to and it was a great choice to stay for a few days until we left and went to thorpe park
BOGNA BUTLINS WAS AWESOME
Used to go to Minehead as a child 40 plus years ago.
Went to Bognor last year and stayed in the Ocean with 2 of our grandchildren.
The rooms are really nice. Nothing was open including the Bar and the Spar. There was also no housekeeping because of Covid.
Because there are only 2 lifts everyone comes at the same time so it takes about an hr to get into your room because of queues.
This year we have an extra one and no rooms left to accommodate 5 so had to go for the updated Silver accommodation. Which I'm very concerned about now.
It's getting bad reviews at the moment on TripAdvisor.
The one thing I will say is the Funfair is still like something from 50s.
Plus you need deep pockets for the arcade
Agree with you there the fun fair could do with an update
The Chalets bring back memories!
I know
I just came back from butlins and I miss it already 😭😭😭😭
:-(
Great video Tim. I went to Butlins in North Wales in 1969 when I was 10. Showing my age Tim ( lol). Things have really changed. Thanks for showing us how things are today. Have a great week. Debbie & Patrick in New Zealand.
wow im trying to work that out lol
@@WalkWithMeTim 62 ( lol)
wow!
Great memories of going there when I was younger. Miss those days ❤️❤️❤️
