Alongside the new fairground opening in Skegness in 2023, Butlin's also announced their new SKYPARK will feature six zones, four tunnels and the UK's longest seesaw.

Both the new look fairground and SKYPARK will be included with break packages.

All live shows and headline acts, access to pools with water slides, unlimited rides on the fairground, outdoor playgrounds and more will also be included.

Showtime Midweek breaks in April 2023 start from £79 (£19.75pp), based on a four-night Showtime Midweek break for a family of four sharing a two-bedroom silver room in Skegness, from 17 April 2023.

As well as the new activities coming to Skegness, Butlin’s has recently announced The Masked Singer Live is also coming to all three resorts in 2023.
