Butlin's Memorabilia Website
The Untold Stories

My Untold Story of Butlins

Butlin's goes beyond being a holiday camp, resort, or hotel; it stands as a testament to a long-standing history that has delighted both guests and staff. The project was spearheaded by Sir Billy Butlin, alongside Billie Ditchfield and Norman Bradford, who were instrumental in developing the Redcoat experience for all to enjoy. This website highlights The Untold Stories of Butlin's, focusing on lesser-known accounts, including your own, that are equally valuable. Below, you can find information on how to share your story and contribute to the Butlin's Memorabilia website.

  • What to consider - The photos
    It is a true delight for me to share your story on the Butlins Memorabilia website, as it can inspire others to remember their experiences. Before you submit your story, I encourage you to consider the individuals in your photos and whether they would be pleased to be included in the Butlins Untold Stories section of the Butlins Memorabilia website.
  • If some people are not happy, are there options?
    I am able to blur the faces of those who wish to remain anonymous, honoring their request. The photograph can still effectively communicate its message without showing their identities. In most instances, this change does not greatly alter the image's impact. I will provide you with a preview of the Untold Story for your feedback and any edits needed to ensure all parties are content.
  • What if I don't have photos and just want to discuss the story with you?
    The focus of Butlins Memorabilia Untold Stories is on your unique story, rather than requiring photographs. I can add postcards and images to align with specific areas, so please don’t worry if you don’t have any photos. I am honored that you chose to share your story with me and the website.
  • There is no pressure to share with the website
    There is absolutely no pressure to share your story with the website or Mark. If you're feeling hesitant, take a moment to unwind with a cup of tea. The website and group will have a wealth of information for you to discover. When you’re ready to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out; if not, simply relax and enjoy your time on the site.

Who and What is Butlin's Memorabilia Website
The Butlins Memorabilia website was originally established as a place on the internet where people could view Mark Banks' Butlins collections. As a passionate enthusiast of the brand, Mark took the initiative to explore the extensive history that led to the website's transformation. Now, the Butlins Memorabilia site has matured into a historical education platform, demonstrating to visitors the meaningful ways in which Butlins has fostered joy and created unforgettable memories.

Are you the official Butlins Archive?
There exists only ONE official website that represents Butlins and that is located at www.butlins.com. The Butlins Memorabilia website is NOT the official archive of Butlins, nor does it serve as the authentic historical record of this extraordinary company. Butlins and their respective parent company have no role in the development of this site and have not participated in its creation. The singular official source for all Butlins information is the one indicated above. This site is strictly a fan-created platform, and any material presented here should be viewed as unofficial. Butlins and their esteemed parent company have NOT reached out to me to create this site, nor have they requested me to promote them. I undertake this effort solely to demonstrate my appreciation for their remarkable name and brand.

The Untold Stories of Butlin's
An exciting addition to the website is the section titled "Untold Stories of Butlin's," which includes a range of personal stories. These narratives have been contributed by members of the Butlins Memorabilia social media groups, who have shared their individual experiences at Butlin's. It is important to understand that these stories are not sanctioned by the official company but are personal recollections from the individuals, as indicated on the page. The accounts shared reflect the magical atmosphere of Butlin's and the memorable moments it has inspired.

Can I get in touch with you about my situation at Butlins for some help?
For any issues related to bookings, inquiries on how to use the app, or to file a complaint, it is essential to follow the official procedure by contacting Butlins directly. Unfortunately, the Butlins Memorabilia website is not equipped to handle these matters, and no assistance can be provided through this platform. Complaints must be directed to Butlins, as they are the only ones capable of addressing them; this site lacks the direct control or involvement necessary to assist. The sole website that can provide help is the Butlin's official site, www.butlins.com. Everything you need can be found there, including their contact page, which is available on this link, and assistance with the Butlins app can be found on this link.

Google adverts and policies
There is a single Google advertisement located at the top of each page. I have created a privacy policy available at this link and a cookie policy at this link, which aim to provide further clarification regarding this section of the website, with the intention of enhancing your understanding of how this operates.
