    We are a family of three.Juz wanted to check if we would be able to book or is it a definite min of 4.

    You have to pay for a minimum or 4 but can still book as a family of 3 just pay the extra £15, still probably much cheaper than booking direct.

    Yes Butlins is def included. You'll see Butlins Minehead and Butlins Bognor Regis but they are not shown as 'Butlins'. Went to Butlins Minehead last time. Upgraded to a silver apartment, well worth it.

    That's great, thanks.I'm very much hoping that Bognor Regis is included on the 4th of October. 80s Reloaded Big Weekend :) But all of the other dates are other kinds of events, and I've found these nostalgia events the best, they're so much fun.

    4th October is listed as one of the dates so should be ok. Have fun!
    It does say in small print that not all of the parks are available on every date so its a bit of a wait and see.

    have been using this promotion for the last few years.
    Keep an eye on costs though, you sometimes have to pay a service charge and for entertainment passes (needed for the pool etc)
    So, it generally doubles the cost IME.
    I usually call the site i have booked to make adjustments such as getting less passcards (only 3 of us go).

    Also, for some sites and dates it may be cheaper booking direct, so always check.

    Finally, Breakfree are on TCB @ 4% cashback.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!:mad:
    Cos if you do it today and like it...You can do it again tomorrow.. :p

    I have added this link to the first post also, but it details all the additional costs for each park individually, it is worth looking in advance as in some cases the cost of the break will be more than double however some places are offering free passes for children on certain dates etc.

    http://www.breakfreeholidays.co.uk/dm-uk-charges

    pupn - per unit per night
    pppb - per person per break

    Butlins Bognor for example in Feb Half term would incur combined extra charges of £76.80 - still much cheaper than anything I can find direct though.

    For those wondering about european sites, we went to Dol-De-Bretagne in June this year with this offer. It's a 5 hour drive from Calais but we had a great time, loads to do for adults and kids and it includes kids club. There are zip wires, tree top adventures, climbing walls (all extra but reasonable), 5 pools, a reasonabley priced 'pub style' bar and a couple of resteraunts onsite. It cost £368 with ferry for a nice caravan for the first week in June, couldn't be beaten!We went back for 10 days camping in August because the site was so good!

    Can anyone recommend any sites in France within a maximum of 3 hours drive from Calais? Thanks.
