Savings when at Butlins Minehead

FiFi_Mad_Mum

We have recently returned from Minehead and didn't think these voucher booklets were advertised very widely, we knew about similar vouchers at Skegness which we had to be purchased from Hot Shots bar, so we enquired there.
£10 voucher booklet includes Jumping Pillow, Driving School, ABC Cinema, Adventure Golf and Face Painting or Tattoo.
£12 voucher booklet includes 10 Pin Bowling, Bungee Jump, ABC Cinema, Jumping Pillows, Golf, Climbing Palm Tree.

The Go-Karts where also cheaper if you went in the evening on Tuesday and Thursday and late on Wednesday afternoon, but OH is not sure if you maybe get less time.

I saw them advertised at the Sports Hub (where you sign up for sports), so maybe there as well and when I enquired at infunmation in Skyline a red coat said you could purchase them from the face painting.

£10 voucher booklet includes individual vouchers for Jumping Pillow, Driving School, ABC Cinema, Adventure Golf and Face Painting or Tattoo.
£12 voucher booklet includes individual vouchers for 10 Pin Bowling, Bungee Jump, ABC Cinema, Jumping Pillows, Golf, Climbing Palm Tree.

Individual prices for Jumping Pillow: £2, Driving School: £1, ABC Cinema: £5 adult/£4 child, Adventure Golf: £2.50 adult/£2 child and Face Painting or Tattoo: £3 = £12 child/£13.50 adult (although obviously adults can't use all of the activities) You will save £2/£3.50!
Individual prices for 10 Pin Bowling: £5 adult/£4 child, Bungee Jump: £?, ABC Cinema: £5 adult/£4 child, Jumping Pillows: £2, Golf: £2.50 adult/£2 child , Climbing Palm Tree: £3 = £15 + child/£16.50 + adult You will save at least £5!
There was a Bungee Jump outside but I didn't notice how much it was, it was never open and it is not mentioned in the booklet. There are bungee trampolines inside at £5 each but I do not know if this is the same, if it is, then that is an even bigger saving.

hi babyboyjw we go to the skegness butlins every year the best tip is google the nearest big supermarket if you are self catering fuel is cheaper aswel as food buy bottle water and cans of pop that are on special you cant take it in the venues reds and centre stage but when you are round the camp its fine this will save you lots

If you are self catering at Minehead Butlins there is a Tesco within walking distance from Butlins. At Skegness you need to actually drive to Skegness town center and there is a Tesco and a Morrisons near to the train station.

In Minehead, walking distance from the camp is a steam train which can be paid for using Tesco deal tokens.

In both Minehead and Skegness you can take your own soft drinks, crisps etc in the entertainment venues at night. You can't take in alcohol...they so sometimes check your bags so don't try this.

Hope this helps you

in another 2 months there will be a morrisons supermarket inbetween the steam railway and the tesco supermarket, i know its stupid, as you will be able to spit on 1 from the other, but at least the competion should keep the prices down.
