Butlins Advice and Tips

We're going to Butlins in Bognor in Oct with our 2.5yr and 10 month old DD's and I need some advice regarding B-Line passes. Are these a must have? I've read some reviews that make me think we need them but I'm not sure our DD's will let us stay late enough to enjoy a show. What time do the shows usually start? Is there a kids disco or something similar on beforehand? I'm happy to pay for the passes if we'll get our use out of them, but if there's separate entertainment on for the kids beforehand I can't see us making many shows. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And any tips! Thanks in advance.

We've never bought B-line passes. The busiest lines are for Diversity or Panto shows in Centre Stage where you have to queue to get in . Doubt they'll be that busy in October term time. You don't need them really for the other shows. Our view is they are a waste of money..

Lots of shows that littlies like yours will be more interested in are skyline venue shows (just sit, no queuing)- Billy Bear, Skyline Gang, Puppet Theatre, etc....

That's great, I'll leave them then. Thanks!

I agree - we had some one year and felt they just weren't worth it. You can get in to shows about 15 mins before non-bline pass people but for some of the shows it means getting there very early. With regard to the pool, they let us in roughly 60 seconds before everyone else! Never again!
