Butlins (also Butlin's) is a chain of large holiday camps in the United Kingdom. Butlins was founded by Billy Butlin to provide affordable holidays for ordinary British families.
Between 1936 and 1966, ten camps were built, including one in Ireland and one in The Bahamas. In the 1970s and 1980s Butlins also operated numerous large hotels including one in Spain, a number of smaller holiday parks in England and France, and a revolving restaurant in the Post Office Tower in London.
Tough competition from overseas package holiday operators, rising operational costs, and rapidly changing demand forced many of these to close in the 1980s and 1990s. Three of the original camps remain open under the Butlins' brand in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness. They are now owned and run by Butlins Skyline Ltd a subsidiary company of Bourne Leisure Ltd which also operates other leisure brands in the UK including Warner Leisure Hotels and Haven Holidays.
Butlins runs a variety of "family fun activities" and entertainments, many of which are included in the price of a holiday. Redcoats provide entertainment, organise activities, and act as hosts.

NEW CHALETS AT BUTLINS MINEHEAD AND FAIRGROUND RIDES | VLOG
Deep slumber awakened by sirens
I realize life's been thrown to the lions
What I saw last night, our city's gone mad
And to my horror, the bloody town square
The time is now, we must avenge
We form tonight, we kill tonight
We must rest to regain our strength
We form tonight, we kill tonight
Tell all your (something) surrounding the back
In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy
We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us
Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to (oblivion??)
Gather all survivors, the forces retreat
They never see the troopers in the streets
Surprise attack with no destination
What will we do with a steam- (something) nation
Death to come for what they've done
Snap their backs, their necks will crack
Stronger than ever, our guns held high
Snap their backs, their necks will crack
The people have organized an army of vengeance
Struck out now, the bodies just like remnants
Don't you love living like a shark(?????)
