    you little beauty ! :T well done

    I managed to book Butlins Mineheads for fri - mon break, starting Dec 18th

    will have to be back on the Mon for work / school ! but my boys will be made up as we haven't been this year :)

    we finish school on the 18th but we can't afford another holiday.

    all 3 butlins are available on the 18th, if you only have 4 people.

    service charge = £5.99 per unit per night
    entertainments passes = £5.95 per person

    ( These prices are from an older priority booklet from earlier in the year,if the prices have gone up don't blame me :rotfl:)
  • The one date I wanted (9th April) was not in the pull down even though it was listed in the dates available (typical!). Got offered Minehead for the 18th but decided against it in the end (5 hour drive too far for just a weekend and would probably spend too much that close to Christmas :( ). Hopefully I'll get a priority next time and get something for summer or Oct.
  • Hiya does anyone have the priority booking code i can use after them or if they dont need it please please please can i have it:confused:..

    I have been looking around and i really dont wanna be paying £10+ on ebay for one i think i have missed out now but i still want to see if i can get a holiday, i'm Agrophobic so can't get out much and thought this would be a chance to get away with the kids..
    Thanks in advance

    My mum's pinched my code to go away for my dad's birthday. We can't afford to go, but they are having a child-free holiday and can choose a cheap park at a quiet time.

    We just got back from butlins and the passes were £9 each, mind you we went to wales earlier this year and the passes were £8 each. I've had 2 holidays with the sun this year - both in school holidays, so much cheaper than booking direct with the park :)

    The codes on ebay aren't too expensive this time, I remember once they were going for £35 on the evening where someone guessed the code! My brother and sister wanted to come with us, and one was kindly given a code on MSE but the other paid for one on ebay.

    Well it's worth asking, but if you're after a particular date like school holidays they'll be going fast if everyone has today's code word in their paper.

    It was worth buying off ebay for us because there were 4 groups of us going so we wanted to know for certain that we could all get the same date and park.

    where are you thinking of going?
