  • Isn't the breaks at Butlins for the 19th Dec only for 3 nights?
    I checked the same for Minehead and the christmas Fantasy break for the 19th for £116 is just a 3 night break?

    yes - booking direct it is only 3 nights - i presume they have different start dates over xmas / new year....

    how long is the sun holiday for on the 19th?

    Yeah, thats odd. Butlins Skegness has only 3 nights from the 19th, the sun booking site is saying 4 nights.

    I think butlins will close on the thursday to get ready for the xmas break starting 23rd Dec so it maybe the sun booking site is wrong?
    Cant see them leaving a few hundred sun holidaymakers on resort for one night?

    So if its only 3 night break then you will save a few quid with the sun as long as the holiday on butlins website doesnt get cheaper between now and december

    They dont close the camp between breaks, it is probably a misprint on the butlins site, because if the next break defo starts on the 23rd, then the break that starts on the 19th will run till the 23rd
    Take every day as it comes!!
