When is Butlin's reopening? Latest updates including shows and pool access

Butlin's has revealed that it plans to reopen all three of its resorts by mid May, as lockdown restrictions ease in the UK.

The holiday firm - which has resorts in Bognor Regis, Skegness, Minehead - is aiming for a full reopening from May 17, the date when England is due to ease more restrictions including reopening indoor attractions and all holiday accommodation.

The resorts will reopen complete with their swimming pools, lazy rivers, water slides and a full activities programme.

Guests will be able to pre-book pool sessions an activities, while new measures such as a one-way system around the pool and restricted numbers on rides will be in place to maintain social distancing.

Live shows and entertainment will be on offer for families too including the likes of Peppa Pig and Thomas the Tank Engine.

There will also be appearances from Fleur East.

In fact, all of the resorts have new all-weather entertainment venues designed with social distancing in mind, complete with air-conditioning and heating, so it will suit no matter what the British climate brings.
