I was there around 1988 as a 11yr on football tour, have some amazing memories, especially the pool areas with the slides, cable cars, chalets, big breakfast hall. It was the first bit of independence I ever had away from my parents.
Thanks, I worked there in the early 90's for a short time, managed to get a job in the bank, we had to count the wages of all the staff, into brown wage packets...
Fairplay for taking the time to make this in a time when cameras wernt as common as these days. U had so much fun, no mobile fones, butlins looked a better night out.... bittersweet
This is great,, brings back happy memories for me and dad, I remember all this r Exactly how it is on here, swimming pool with slides etc,, the best butlins,, wish it had stayed like this with monorail etc.. Happy memories!!!!
That cleaner at 28:27 was such a character. My shed mate Lizzie used to chat to him a lot when she worked in the bakery. Heck, can't believe so many years have passed. Brilliant vid.
No way I did that class as well! I was pretty crap but my cousin was good and Paul Heaney said he could go far! (he didn't 😂). Ah, butlins...i would have been there around September or October.
Really lovely to see Butlins back in the 90s I was 10 when this video was made amazing how different it was bk then. Funny they still had the Galaxy witches hat ride still even bk then it's a shame they haven't still got that mini roller coster today. Still look abit drab bk then though accommodation wasn't as nice be fun to go bk in time and try it But I think I still prefer today's Butlins though
just about 8 mins in there is a group on the stage can anyone remember what they were called i think they were the resident band i saw them every day for a few months please help
Brilliant video. I worked there in 1998. Could this video be from 1991 though as I can hear Chesney Hawkes one and only in the background and that came out as a single in early 1991.
People seem be different to how they are now seem be more chilled 😎

I worked as a butlins photographer from 1986 until 1991. It was Saturday night every night.
We had a great time , best time for a young single bloke.
I worked at Butlins Minehead from 88-90 inclusive including as venu manager at the Beachcomber and Wessex Room. Great seeing the 'Sheds' again.
