6,000 slides and 17,000 sausages in Butlin's first week back

Butlin’s first week after lockdown has seen the reopening of the brand’s three resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.

The holiday company reopened its doors on May 17, welcoming back thousands of holidaymakers from across the country for a break.

In the first week:

· Over 120 live shows have taken place

· Almost 50 swim sessions welcoming thousands of swimmers a day across all three resorts

· The pool slides have been used over 6,000 times

· Over 900 rounds of adventure golf and aerial adventures have taken place

· Over 17,000 sausages have been wolfed down at breakfast

· 1,200 scoops of ice cream have been served at Skegness with bubblegum flavour being the scoop of choice, whilst guests at Bognor Regis prefer chocolate and guests at Minehead have opted for cookies and cream.

The resorts have been able to open as normal, even with social distancing measures in place, meaning guests can continue experiencing the live shows, character selfies, swimming pools and wide-ranging activities, as they would have pre-lockdown.
