Our passionate Weekender team transforms Butlin’s Holiday Resort in Minehead into four spectacular arenas, each equipped with state of the art sound systems. Each Weekender has a unique twist as we tweak the format of the event each year, constantly striving to improve the Southport experience.
Accommodation
There are 2 types of room available and the price of your ticket includes accommodation for the Friday and Saturday evening and all music until the finale close at 7pm on the Sunday.
We have 2,500 free places available for the Sunday After Parties, including accommodation, and these are available on a first come first served basis when booking. Once these places have gone, there is no other way to stay on site on the Sunday, or to attend one of the After Parties.
Rooms available
Self Catering Apartments – Including bedrooms, bathroom and separate lounge area with adjoining fitted kitchen, complete with cooker, fridge and all utensils. These are currently available in sizes sleeping 4, 6 and 7 people (Please note, each room has at least one double bed which counts as sleeping 2 people).
Room Only – Including beds, bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities and TV. These are currently available to sleep 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 people. 2 person rooms are available with either twin or double beds. (Please state which you require at the time of booking otherwise we will assume and allocate a double bed).
