Staying at a 5 star resort near Blackpool we had a fantastic week exploring all the town has to offer. At the holiday village we enjoyed the fantastic facilities which included restaurants, bars, amusement arcade, pool room and a dance floor which we made full use of. We visited the Tower where we experienced the 4D cinema, all ducking and diving as the screen jumped out at us, which was an awesome experience. We stood on the glass floor and looked down at the folk far below us, and several of us then went up further on a spiral staircase from where the views were fantastic. We saw the illuminations, which were fantastic! We had a go on the amusements on the Blackpool front and one day we went bowling. We visited the circus, where everyone enjoyed chuckling at the clowns and was amazed by the daredevil trapeze artists. We also went to the Tower Dungeons, where we were scared by spooks and witches – a great deal of hilarity ensuing. A highlight for us all was of course going to the Blac...

Our first full day was initially spent exploring Butlins and we spent time on the amusements and had lots of fun. Lunch was taken and then it was off to the ten-pin bowling alley and as always it was competitive and very enjoyable. Swimming was next on the agenda and we all had fun with some brave souls going on all of the slides and flumes. Others just enjoyed swimming and splashing about. Later in the day we prepared to go out to a local pub where we celebrated Steven’s birthday. Steven blew out his candle and we had a slice of cake to finish off our dinner. It was then back to Butlins for an evening of “steps and soul”. We were all exhausted after another late night on the dance floor and fell into bed. The following morning, after breakfast, we drove to Lynton & Lynmouth where we had a lovely walk and had lunch overlooking the beautiful harbour. On our return, we proceeded to have games of snooker and as the weather was still dull we went to the cinema to finish off the after...

On our way to Butlins we stopped for lunch at a restaurant near to Skegness and soon everyone was talking about the start of the holiday. Once we found our accommodation we unpacked and got ready to go out for the evening. We had dinner in the Sun & Moon Pub and proceeded to Centre Stage for an evening of entertainment and dancing. The following day we headed for the fun fair and everyone tried some of the rides. The bumper cars proved to be the favourite attraction. We spent a short time in the amusements before heading for the Skyline Pavilion to stop for a drink. After lunch we all went to Splash Waterworld for a swim. In the evening we drove to Mumby and went to the Red Lion for dinner. The home cooking is excellent and the pub staff all very friendly. We then drove back to Butlins and spent the rest of the evening in ‘Reds’. We listened to a live band and everyone was up dancing again. The next day we set out to Mablethorpe to visit The Seal Sanctuary & Nature Centre. ...
