Who and What is Butlin's Memorabilia Website

Mark Banks is the individual responsible for the creation and ownership of this website, which showcases his collection of Butlin's memorabilia. It was developed in my spare time after work as a hobby and has since grown into a platform that brings joy to others. It is important to note that this website is independent from Butlin's and is not an official archive of the company. Furthermore, it includes stories, with the consent of the individuals involved, that recount memorable moments at Butlin's from both customers and former staff members. This website pays homage to the esteemed company and its founder, Sir William Butlin. Additionally, it provides information on the history of Butlin's, based on personal research.

Butlins Memorabilia extra areas

This website is the result of my efforts and ongoing maintenance, as I, Mark Banks, have created it as a fan site to honor the incredible Butlins brand, which holds significant personal meaning for me. Additional information about the website and responses to any questions you may have can be found below (I have strived to address all possible queries, but if there are any remaining, please do not hesitate to contact me).
