Iconic holiday park nominated as one of the best in prestigious UK travel awards
A popular family holiday spot is celebrating national acclaim after being shortlisted for two top honours at the 2025 British Travel Awards. Butlin's Bognor Regis has been named a finalist in both the 'Best Company for UK Parks and Lodges Holidays' and 'Favourite Company for Radio Advertisements' categories. These prestigious, consumer-voted awards recognise outstanding achievement across the UK's travel and leisure sector, spanning everything from holiday parks to cruise lines. With winners chosen entirely by public vote, the awards provide a genuine reflection of what matters most to UK holidaymakers. Butlin's is urging holidaymakers to cast their votes before the deadline on 1 November. Everyone who takes part will be automatically entered into a prize draw, with rewards including a £5,000 Greek holiday, a river cruise worth over £4,000, holiday vouchers of up to £1,000, or a £5,000 European villa break. Votes can be submitted online via the British Travel Awards website, reports the Mirror. The Bognor Regis resort has recently revealed new attractions following an ambitious program of refurbishment. Among the highlights is the company's largest-ever indoor Soft Play centre, spanning over 3,000 square feet across four floors and accommodating up to 200 children at a time - double the previous capacity. The resort's family-friendly appeal has been further enhanced with the introduction of a new Puppet Theatre, themed play zones, a sensory area for babies, a cosy café and complimentary shows such as Under The Sea and Christmouse. These additions have already proven popular, with thousands of families set to visit during the school holidays. The £1.8 million Soft Play investment is part of broader developments across Butlin's three seaside resorts. Bognor Regis also boasts the £15 million indoor activity centre PLAYXPERIENCE, offering nine immersive gaming experiences, ranging from laser tag and a VR arcade to escape rooms and more. In addition, the Minehead site recently welcomed a second £2.5 million SKYPARK, an inclusive and interactive playground suitable for children of all abilities. Over in Skegness, the £12 million Maple Walk village introduced 128 contemporary Premium Lodges at the heart of the resort. To mark these developments, Butlin's has launched a significant summer sale on 2025 and 2026 holidays, offering discounts of up to 40%. Deals include Midweek Showtime breaks at Bognor Regis from £69 in June, Summer Holidays with Stephen Mulhern featuring three-night stays from £352 and Justin Fletcher Tots Breaks starting at £79 in September. Holiday parks remain a beloved British institution, with families booking breaks to enjoy an action-packed getaway closer to home. For those seeking a break by the sea Haven Holidays offers an ideal combination of entertainment and sentimentality. Parkdean Resorts offers a similar arrangement across 66 locations featuring swimming facilities, onsite restaurants and more than a touch of old school nostalgia. While Center Parcs remains a favourite for its forest escapes packed with activities, prices can soar during school holidays. Brits love Butlins for the affordable fun it offers, with holidaymakers sharing their experiences on TripAdvisor. One visitor said: "We had a lovely Easter break at Butlin's Bognor. Top quality entertainment, engaging and friendly staff and we had the weather too. Such good fun for young and old alike. Very impressed with the new soft play, the Splash water park was fabulous and from start to finish we received nothing but exceptional customer service." Another family who stayed at Minehead added: "We've just returned from our most amazing family break at Butlins Minehead, marking our fifth year visiting, and we honestly can't praise it enough! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations." A holidaymaker who just returned from a visit in June, said: "Went to Skegness Butlins over the weekend and it was amazing, the kids absolutely loved it! The place was lovely and clean, staff were extremely helpful and we can't wait to come back." Nevertheless, not everyone left with rave reviews. One less impressed visitor noted: "Decided to give Butlin's a go for half term. Overall, for us adults, everything was a bit meh except for the entertainment, which was awesome." Another positive review from Bognor mentioned: "Always things to do never get bored. Very clean apartment. New playxperience building is very good, packed with new, fun experiences. Had great fun in laser tag. Brilliant and helpful staff." All of Butlin's holiday offers can be found here, with deals available at Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness. Depending on the date and location, guests could also secure up to 40% discount on meal packages.
