What payment options does Butlin's accept for Big Weekends?
Can I use my Tesco vouchers to pay for a Butlin's Big Weekend?
Yes, these are accepted for payment against your accommodation but not against dining or additional extras. To use your vouchers to pay you need to call the Butlin's booking team on 0330 100 9327 and have your valid vouchers to hand.
Can you just book a part weekend rather than the full 3 days?
The Butlin's Live Music Weekends are a 3 night package so you will have to book for the full weekend duration but you can of course decide to stay for a shorter time but there is no refund available if you leave early.
If you have spare room in your accommodation can you bring in another guest?
Yes you can but you must book them in as the Live Music Weekends are priced as a per person event. You would need to contact the booking team on 0330 100 6648 and they will arrange the change to your booking and inform you of the additional cost.
Can you swap your guests once a Butlin's Big Weekender has started?
No this is not allowed. All guests need to be listed on the booking for the full duration of the 3 night weekend.

- Finally Butlin's has recently introduced a system called Autopay which allows you pay for your break with a smaller deposit and then divides your remaining balance between the number of months before your stay.
