ACCOMMODATIONWe’re really glad you’re staying with us

but with lots of people on resort please

be respectful to your neighbours. Not

everyone has the same musical tastes

lead to you being asked to leave the

miss out on the fun!

DRIVE SAFEWe like everyone to stay safe – so

please observe the 10mph speed limit

Butlin’s can take no responsibility for loss

or damage. All roads within the resort

are subject to the Road Traffi c Act in the

same way as public roads. It is therefore

an off ence to be in charge of a motor

vehicle whilst under the infl uence of

alcohol or drugs.

Important InformationDon’t forget to bring your confi rmation or booking reference number with you.

You’ll need to show this to our friendly resort safety team at the front gate so that

they can direct you to where you need to check-in, nice and speedily. You can

fi nd this attached to your confi rmation email, or view it in your account.

with lots included in the price so it’s worth

taking a few minutes before you arrive to

photo ID, but if you’re also lucky enough

to look under 21, then remember your

photo ID for the bar team.

WRISTBANDSWhen you check-in each member of your

party will receive a wristband inside your

welcome pack. You need to wear these

throughout the weekend to access all live

music venues. Keep them safe as there’s

a £50 charge to get a replacement.

EATINGThere are plenty of places to eat and

drink on resort, so no need to worry

about going hungry! If you have added

one of our great value dining plans to

your stay then you’ll receive a dining

card in your welcome pack. This will

show you which restaurant you’ll be

eating your breakfast and evening meals

in. Prefer to do your own thing? Our

self-catering apartments come equipped

with everything you need to rustle up

that all important breakfast roll!
