Butlin&rsquo;s has been the home of entertainment for decades - we&rsquo;ve always known how to show people a great time. But we offer way more than family fun. Over the years we&rsquo;ve also become legendary for something pretty extraordinary - Butlin&#39;s Big Weekenders! <|}span><|}p>

THE BIG WEEKENDERS STORY

#ffffff

The music is incredible &ndash; that can&rsquo;t be denied. But what separates Big Weekenders from festivals is the atmosphere. As our Weekender guests raise the roof with like-minded music fans in a smaller, more intimate setting than at the big outdoor festivals, each event brings a real sense of community. <|}span><|}p>

&nbsp;<|}p>

A Big Weekender is about being part of something special, celebrating the music you love with people who really get it, as well as those who&rsquo;ve come for the party vibes or to discover something new. No wonder that music fans, whether casual or hardcore, come back time and time again. <|}span><|}p>

It's All About The Atmosphere

What else keeps music fans booking Big Weekenders? One is how affordable they are, as your <a href="https:|}|}www.butlins.com|}bigweekenders|}experience|}accommodation">accommodation<|}a> is included in your ticket price.

So, how did Butlin&rsquo;s, the nation&rsquo;s host, become such a hot spot for music fandom? Let&rsquo;s take a look.<|}span><|}p>

A Must for Music Fans

Music has always been a massive part of the Butlin&rsquo;s story. So in 2009, when indie rock festival All Tomorrow&rsquo;s Parties was seeking a new location that had everything a music lover needed for a good time, Butlin&rsquo;s Minehead &ndash; with its comfy accommodation, quality entertainment venues and great choice of bars &ndash; was the ideal choice. <|}span><|}p>

&nbsp;<|}p>

The weekend was a huge hit. Several more ATPs followed at Minehead, and electronic festival Bloc Weekend soon got in on the action too. By the middle of the following decade we were partnering with <a href="https:|}|}www.butlins.com|}bigweekenders|}weekends|}shiiine-on-weekender">Shiiine On<|}a> and the Great British Alternative Music Festival &ndash; and, by then, we&rsquo;d caught the festival bug for good. <|}span><|}p>
