A LOT HAS CHANGED AT
Butlins SINCE BILLY’s DAY, BUT
oUR AIM is JUST THE SAME...
To give you a glorious break from the daily routine,
In a place of colour and happiness,
Where ever yone can laugh and smile
And play for a while, And relax and chat
And get their sparkle back. And to always provide...
A big beautiful beach to mess about on,
All the amenities of a first class hotel,
The chance to tr y something new...
Whether you’re a toddler, a teenager, a Mum or a Dad,
Fun on tap, come rain or shine,
Places to stop and unwind,
Have peace and your own time
And at the end of the day,
A fabulous show to make you go,
‘Ooh! and aah! and hip hip hooray!
That was just the most wonderful, perfect of days.’
