Butlins are looking for ten lucky MNers and their families to enjoy a free stay at a Butlins resort and post their feedback on MN.
Butlins say “We have been providing family breaks for nearly 80 years, and although we’ve changed with the times, many people still believe that we’re old fashioned and run down. We’re looking to change these negative perceptions and show Mumsnetters that we’re a 21st century holiday destination, which offers brilliant family breaks at great value for money”
We're looking for families who are able to visit the following resorts on the dates below:
- July 18 – 21 : Minehead, Bognor Regis or Skegness
- July 25 - 28: Minehead, Bognor Regis or Skegness
- September 8 - 12: Minehead
- September 15 - 19: Bognor Regis or Skegness
- September 22 -26 : Minehead
- October 31 - November 3: Minehead, Bognor Regis or Skegness
- December 12 - 15: Minehead or Bognor Regis
- December 15 - 19: Bognor Regis or Skegness
- December 19 - 22: Minehead, Bognor Regis or Skegness
You can pick the resort and date you’d like to visit.
The trip will include:
- accommodation
- breakfast and dinner
- all entertainment
- Splash Waterworld
- Fairground
In return for this free trip (worth on average £650) each MNer will be asked to:
- Make a video diary of their trip and submit this to Butlins. These videos will be edited and may be shown on the on Mumsnet, on Butlins.com and possibly elsewhere. They will be hosted on YouTube.
- Add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet – at least twice. We're looking for feedback before you go and when you return. These comments may well be used by Butlins on Mumsnet and elsewhere (including on social media, in the press etc). Your MN name will not be used.
- Add photos to the feedback thread (these don't need to show the children/ yourself, eg they could feature resort you’re staying in, food, etc)
- Add a review on Mumsnet to the Self Catering pages
- MNers visiting Butlins up to mid-September will also be asked to complete a feedback form for the Mumsnet Family Friendly programme
Unfortunately travel costs are not included, so please only sign up if you are happy to pay for your own travel.
In general, accommodation sleeps up to 6 people, but due to the combination of dates and locations, there are some restrictions. If you are interested, please apply and we will be allocating families based on their preferences and the rooms available.
If you'd like to sign up please add your details here.
We will be in touch with selected testers ASAP and their details will be passed to the team at Butlins so they can make the booking arrangements.
Thanks and good luck!
