Where else can you see a rhino, giraffe, owl and even a fire-breathing dragon live on stage? Back by popular demand, The Animal Guyz will be returning in 2025 with a brand-new and exclusive show, Animals and Mythical Beasts. Join them in Studio 36 as amazing life-size creatures, from the plains of Africa to the UK countryside, come bursting onto the stage in this eye-popping performance. Encouraging learning through laughter, it’s packed full of comedy, music, special effects, plenty of ‘wow’ moments and some fascinating facts.

Animals and Mythical Beasts

Where else can you see international superstars Kylie Minogue, Taylor Swift, and Coldplay (well, sort of) all in one place? Hitting all the right notes, Iconic is our brand-new and exciting show, celebrating music, talent, and iconic performances from around the world. Alongside an incredible cast of dancers and vocalists, expect powerful visuals, magic and illusions, variety acts, singalong moments and, of course, plenty of hits from global icons. It’s the ultimate Butlin’s production!

Iconic

Ready for your Cretaceous close-up? Brand new for 2025, our exclusive Dino Expo offers a rare opportunity to travel back millions of years ago and come face to face with dinosaurs! These pre-historic predators will be stomping into the Skyline Pavilion at all three resorts on all breaks, alongside their trusty ranger who’ll tell you all about them. During this live interaction, young palaeontologists can snap selfies with their favourite dinosaur, learn some fun facts and even meet a cute baby dino. 

Dino Expo

Our resident gang of colourful characters are back with a brand-new show and this time they’re going to the seaside! Join Candi, Sprout, Pip, Dude, Mimi, Bud, Misty, and Rainbow as they head to the coast to see an amazing aerial display by the Red Arrows. Everything’s going swimmingly until bad weather calls off the flypast. This hilarious family show is filled with music, colour, comedy and even a few surprises. Will the gang get to see the Red Arrows, or will their daytrip be a washout? Come along and find out…
