Hey,

I used to work at Butlins in Bognor Regis, I went there on Holiday and met my partner who was working there so we worked a summer together- It was the best time of my life! Butlins is awesome for grown ups,

In answer to your question, I have worked quite a few adult weekends and as long as you love getting drunk and having the time of your life you will be fine!!

Hope you have a wicked time and if you go on the Funfair, be nice to everyone!!!!

Goodluck

Hey, I went to the 80s weekend at Skeggie Butlins last February for my birthday! I went with 7 mates. We had a blast. You have to ignore how completely kitsch it is and just throw yourself into it. Theoretically the Saturday night is "dress up" night but we decided to go for it for the whole weekend, so every afternoon and evening we were done up in 80s gear. We took at whole suitcase full of outfits and just mixed and matched, some stuff we already had but other stuff we went out and got from charity shops for the couple of weeks beforehand!
Not sure what accommodation you're booked into - we had self-catering apartments and it was definitely best for us. We took everything we needed for cooked brekkies every morning and enough pasta and sauce for 2 huge dinners. We just got lunch wherever.
The main events are obviously in the evening in the 3 different arenas - live acts etc, but there are odd things going on from about 3 in the afternoon - karaoke in the main hall etc. The rest of the time is yours to do what you will.
We exhausted the attractions of Butlins pretty fast - remember that you're going out of season so none of the rides are open, just the arcade games and Bingo and stuff.
It does have a really lovely health spa so take your swimming costume and go and arrange for one of the half-day sessions as soon as you arrive. They get pretty busy so if you head down there on arrival you should be able to have your pick of times to go in. It's got a pool, jacuzzi, ice shower, Atlantic storm shower etc. Was pretty good value. We went on the Sunday afternoon.
Try and get over to Skegness at least once just to walk on the windswept beach and the pier, but I can honestly say that Skeggie was one of the most unpleasant towns I've ever been to. It felt really rough and scummy so I'd avoid the town centre if I were you.
Anyway, have a great time. Throw yourself into it, get nostalgic and have a good old boogie to Dexy's for me!!!
