I spent 2 seasons working as a Grill Chef in this Butlins .. 1976 - 1977. My weekly wage was about £14, which wasn't bad with meals and accommodation included. Amazing to see how its improved. Staff accommodation was pretty basic & drugs of all varieties were rampant at the time. Thankfully I avoided them all. Tubular Bells was the favourite tune being blasted out from all the staff accommodations at the time. Requests for staff to move to male/female sharing had to be approved by staff management & thankfully, they approved my request. Best years of my life and memories that will never be forgotten for all the friends I made.
Hi Thanks for the video Myself and my partner and her 4 children are going this weekend coming 26th may Looks really good and can’t wait. I’m sure we will all enjoy it. Was good to watch your video to show me what we can expect when we get there
Ooh! Butlins in Bognor. I go with my friends on adult weekends once a year. Fancy dress, great bands and the people are so friendly and fun. Looks like you had a great time.
@@LaraJoannaJarvishonestly, Butlins Bognor Regis has to be one of the best! I saw my friends and we had some really good time and we did play some arcade! I LOVE BUTLINS AND BUTLINS BOGNOR REGIS!!! :DD 😆
Looks like you had a good time. My family also go to the Bognor resort but tend to go in the summer and stay at the shoreline hotel. That’s also really near the swimming pool so we can just wrap towels around us and shower/ change back in our rooms. They enjoy the outdoor laser tag ( might be a summer only thing), the circus is brilliant and they do a character breakfast in papa John’s with Billie and Bonnie Bear which is cute ( have to book that though). There’s also a good toy shop in the town centre about a 10/15 minute walk that my boys always want to go to. Can’t wait for our holiday now 😊
Ah, that all sounds amazing! I think it would feel like a different kind of holiday in the summer. It was still really good fun though and the shows were excellent, swimming pool was amazing too. We will definitely be back! I hope you have a brilliant trip in the summer x
We went last year and we’re booked again for this year it’s so good for all ages kids love it I have 2 with autism and there’s so much choice it is expensive it’s seems all shows are free ect but the amount u pay 😂 we do go for the apartments with patio though but it’s well worth the money I think ❤
On February 2023 of course I went to Butlins Bognor Regis and then one of the hotels they have rainbow lights. I think your boys would like those and the beds for children and grown-ups have a bigger bed on the table lights, and you have a balcony of course😂
I'm glad your family had a good holiday. I work at butlins bognor regis in Yacht club and I'm sorry to see you had upsetting experience with the food from ocean drive. I saw the counters where covered in food which we do try and clean regularly. I won't lie though the presentation could have been better.
We had 2 13 year olds (14 this year) and they really liked it! There’s loads for them to do in the evenings and the swimming is good fun and the arcades too. There’s bowling, football, loads of fairground rides. Lots to do i’d say! Xx
I live in Bognor Regis and I've been to Butlins a lot of times in my life, but I've never been to the hotel.

If you go again, you can leave the sight, walk along the beach and go into Bognor. It breaks the weekend up a bit.
Ah yes, I really want to do one of those!! The 80’s and 90’s ones look so fun! Xx

I hear mixed reviews about Butlins. Not my thing but I know friends who go for themed weekends and 🍸❤
I was so pleasantly surprised!! And the kids absolutely loved it. I’d be up for doing one of the adults weekends too x
Hope you are ok
I have a 14 and 12 years old, ut looks like they would be too old for Butlins would you agree??
