BUTLIN'S will be welcoming guests again from May 17, and has announced new shows and attractions as part of the grand opening.

The three resorts - Bognor Regis, Skegness and Minehead - will all be opening from next month, each with a brand new 860-seat indoor entertainment venue for the live shows.

Their popular evening shows will include names such as X-Factor’s Fleur East and Max & Harvey, along with a new ‘The Diversity Games’ show featuring the famous street dance troupe.

Younger guests can watch Peppa Pig and her brother George on stage in another new mini-show, along with a live ‘Thomas’ Race Day’ show for Thomas The Tank Engine fans.

The venues have been designed to allow social distancing, so families can watch the shows while following restrictions.

Also at the park, the swimming pools will also be reopened along with the lazy rivers, slides and rides which are all included in the holiday.

New measures guests can expect are one-way systems, as well as visitor capacity on the rides.

Off-peak breaks start from £155 while peak season breaks start from £275, and you can already book in breaks for Christmas and February 2022 half term.
