The best way to go to Butlins is to collect the tickets out of the newspaper and you can have a 3 or 4 day break for about £40 for a family of 4. I have been to Butlins before and the best thing to do is use the accomodation as a base and get round and see all the sites out side the camp.
To me Butlins is still in the 1960's and they have not really woken up to what the public want on a holiday, but I know that I would rather not have a holiday than have to stop in the holiday camp all day. There is just not enough to do for one day to keep the children amused, so without a car to get around in I really don't know how people manage there.
Cast your mind back to the T.V. series Hi Di Hi and there is Butlins on the big screen.
