Butlins, Fun & Dancing (Skegness) with Midi, Matt & Jamie

 Butlins, Fun & Dancing 

We were here for all the fun that Butlins has to offer and we couldn't wait to start our holiday! 

The friendly RedCoats always made us feel so welcome. They spent time chatting away and we showed them how we partied in true JollyDays style.

The funfair was a huge hit with our group and we tried our luck on the traditional stalls and were all lucky winners.  We crashed and bumped into each other on the Dodgems and got flown around on the Waltzer.

The arcades kept us amused for hours as we collected tickets that we later exchanged for prizes! 

The evening entertainment was something we looked forward to every night. The tribute acts and magic shows were outstanding. A real highlight of our holiday.

We were given a talk by the keeper about the five tigers within the park and were astonished at how much meat they eat. We posed for photos next to the glass partition with the tiger named “Skah”. Luckily, she had already had her lunch! Our next stop was at rare white Barbary lions who were happily basking in the warm sunshine. As we walked away, we could hear their mighty roar! As we entered a walk-through Aviary some of the parakeets landed on our arms and shoulders. Matty gave peanuts to Royston and Liam who happily fed them and we enjoyed seeing the beautiful colours and observed their friendly nature as they nibbled at the food on our arms. 

keen to make the most of the glorious weather and headed to Europe’s biggest market at Fantasy Island. We spent the morning wandering around the many aisles which were full to burst with fashion, gifts and toys. We shopped till we dropped
