Showing the entrance of the Mall (also known as the shopping mall).
The Inn on the green, which was the former location of the famous club Bonkers and The swinging Shillelagh
The booking office with a large Connect four for the children to have fun.
The teacup funfair ride
The Butlin's driving agency, pass first time  with no errors :) 
The former playing area in the children's funfair, now gone in 2021. There is a video shared of this further below.
The diggers was fun to use for the children. Today, they are no longer in Minehead (as of 2021)
The chairs of Butlin's remain in place however , they are now got the Butlins logo on them, which is a better idea

The lady bird ride, where my daughter had her first experience on a funfair ride. 


You can see a small video showing this ride and the moment above by clicking on this link to launch YouTube

This climbing frame was removed later in the years in Butlin's history. It was replaced with a bouncy castle. 

Click on here to see a video on YouTube that shows you this climbing frame in use. It also shows you a Butlin's Holiday Worlds table and chairs that remained.
Bowling in Butlins Minehead, the second location to host this form of entertainment. The first location was in the cinema building. This location was also known as the Gaiety theater, which had a large stage within and had many entertainers perform their acts.
This was when the buses was allowed to terminate in the resort at the front of the camp. As of 2021, this is no longer allowed.

June

The airplanes of Butlins, a ride that my children loved the most.
Off you go for a drive around the amazing Butlin's funfair area.
The famous ride of Butlin's, I like to call them the trains of Butlin's. This ride has been in Butlin's for as long as I can remember and is featured on many postcards.

With permission from my children and Carrianne (my other half), we have uploaded a video of this ride for you to see and hear them sounds. Click here to view this video and smile at the memory.
The former location of the Quasar building and the Beachcomber

These boats was relocated to the Beachcomber Inn entrance.
I have to say that the special moments that make Butlins so very good is when you come back to the chalet room to see the cleaner to have done this for you. It's such a small thing to do with the biggest heart feeling of them all. This was taken in 2012 and I did send an email to Butlin's to praise the wonderful team for such a brilliant job to do. The Billy Butlin spirit is strong in this photo as this tells such a large story that you can't help but think "that is truly amazing to see". 
Notice the Newsbreak shop on the corner, where the Diner is today (as of 2021)

The Redcoat pirate of Butlins Minehead

Captain...there is another Redcoat Pirate coming aboard...orders?




I had sent a letter into Butlin's about this lovely lady who spent the time to entertain my Sophie. Rather than push for sales, this lovely member of staff went out of their way to show my children an alternative entertainment. Sophie loved every moment making me feel that she should be praised. I got feedback to say that she received reward for an excellent and memorable service. 




The train that took you from Butlin's Minehead to town and drop you off and then return back to Billy's.








This park area remains (as of 2021) and was renamed the Beachcomber Inn Adventure Play

Before the changes into the Beachcomber Inn it was the Sun and Moon Pub
