Butlins could be bringing home two prestigious industry awards this year, but holidaymakers can still save up to 40% on breaks
A much-loved family holiday destination is celebrating national recognition after being shortlisted for two major accolades in the 2025 British Travel Awards. Butlin’s Bognor Regis has been named a finalist for both ‘Best Company for UK Parks and Lodges Holidays’ and ‘Favourite Company for Radio Advertisements.’
These prestigious consumer-voted awards honour excellence across the UK travel and leisure industry, covering everything from holiday parks to cruise lines. Winners are decided entirely by public vote, offering a true reflection of what UK holidaymakers value most when they take a break.
Butlin’s is encouraging holidaymakers to cast their vote before voting closes November, 1. Anyone taking part will be automatically entered into a prize draw to win rewards such as a £5,000 Greek holiday, a river cruise worth over £4,000, holiday vouchers up to £1,000, or a £5,000 European villa break. Votes can be made online via the British Travel Awards website.

The Bognor Regis resort has recently unveiled new attractions following an ambitious makeover. Among the highlights is the company’s largest-ever indoor Soft Play centre, covering over 3,000 square feet across four floors and accommodating up to 200 children at a time – double the previous capacity.
The addition of a brand-new Puppet Theatre with themed play zones, a sensory area for babies, a cosy café, and free puppet shows such as Under The Sea and Christmouse has further boosted the resort’s family-friendly appeal. These features have already proven a hit, with thousands of families expected to visit during the school holidays.

Butlin’s is offering up to 40% off family breaks in 2025 and 2026.
The £1.8 million Soft Play investment is part of wider developments across Butlin’s three seaside resorts. Bognor Regis is also home to the £15 million indoor activity centre PLAYXPERIENCE, offering nine immersive gaming experiences, from laser tag and a VR arcade to escape rooms.
Meanwhile, Minehead recently welcomed a second £2.5 million SKYPARK, an inclusive and interactive playground for children of all abilities. In Skegness, the £12 million Maple Walk village introduced 128 contemporary Premium Lodges at the heart of the resort.
To celebrate, Butlin’s has launched a major summer sale on 2025 and 2026 holidays, with discounts of up to 40%. Offers include Midweek Showtime breaks at Bognor Regis from £69 in June, Summer Holidays with Stephen Mulhern featuring three-night stays from £352, and Justin Fletcher Tots Breaks starting at £79 in September.
Holiday parks are a cherished British tradition, with families returning year after year for fun-filled breaks. For families looking for a break by the seaside, Haven Holidays offers a perfect blend of fun and nostalgia, while Parkdean Resorts provides a similar experience, with 66 parks featuring pools, on-site dining, and classic seaside activities.
While Center Parcs remains a favourite for its forest escapes packed with activities, prices can soar during school holidays. Brits love Butlins for the affordable fun it offers, with holidaymakers sharing their experiences on TripAdvisor.
One visitor said: “We had a lovely Easter break at Butlin’s Bognor. Top quality entertainment, engaging and friendly staff and we had the weather too. Such good fun for young and old alike. Very impressed with the new soft play, the Splash water park was fabulous and from start to finish we received nothing but exceptional customer service.”
Another family who stayed at Minehead added: “We’ve just returned from our most amazing family break at Butlins Minehead, marking our fifth year visiting, and we honestly can’t praise it enough! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.”
A holidaymaker who just returned from a visit in June, said: “Went to Skegness Butlins over the weekend and it was amazing, the kids absolutely loved it! The place was lovely and clean, staff were extremely helpful and we can’t wait to come back.”
Nevertheless, not everyone left with rave reviews. One less impressed visitor noted: “Decided to give Butlin’s a go for half term. Overall, for us adults, everything was a bit meh except for the entertainment, which was awesome.”
Another positive review from Bognor mentioned: “Always things to do never get bored. Very clean apartment. New playxperience building is very good, packed with new, fun experiences. Had great fun in laser tag. Brilliant and helpful staff.”
