Stealingsilver Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have been to Butlins in Minehead 4 or 5 times for All tommorow's parties festival. However the setup is quite different from a normal Butlins weekend as all Music/Events are organised by ATP themselves rather than Butlins. I am surprising my girlfriend by taking her to the WWE weekend. However I have a few questions before I go. Â 1) Where is the ring? Do the rent a marquee or just put it in front of Burger King? Â 2) Is there anything else going on at Butlins that weekend that would interest someone in their 20s? Â 3) Do WWE just put on a show for one night and then go. Or will there be signings or other wrestling related activities? Â 4) At ATP have their own tv channel when they host at ATP. Does WWE do the same? Â 5) How busy are the bars/clubs during the evening? Â 6) Will they be showing Smackdown on Friday Night? Â Any other advice or suggestions would be great! Â Thanks in advance!

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted June 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 1) Where is the ring? Do the rent a marquee or just put it in front of Burger King? Â I'm fairly sure there is a large indoor arena at that particular butlins. Â Â 2) Is there anything else going on at Butlins that weekend that would interest someone in their 20s? Â Drinking, but thats about it. Â 3) Do WWE just put on a show for one night and then go. Or will there be signings or other wrestling related activities? Â I'd imagine it'll be a show and then go. It gets treated like every other house show. Â 4) At ATP have their own tv channel when they host at ATP. Does WWE do the same? I have no idea what that means, but you'd only be able to see the show if you pay to attend. Which would be "on top" of anything from butlins, IIRC. Â 5) How busy are the bars/clubs during the evening? Â Depending on the season, Rammed. In november i dont think it'd be to busy, but it'll still be full of parents/kids etc. Â 6) Will they be showing Smackdown on Friday Night No unless you want to watch it else where. I doubt butlins have sky in the rooms (that i know of). Â I'd just buy a ticket for the show, and stay else where. And next time use the questions thread at the top.

King Pitcos Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'd just buy a ticket for the show, and stay else where. Don't think they offer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to stay at butlins? I always though WWE just ran a show at the arena, and you had to buy tickets for that anyway.....or can you only get tickets if you stay there?

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted June 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 These look like some lovely caravans, with SKY TV Â And don't stay elsewhere - Butlins is blinding good. I've seen a lot of the best Britain has to offer there - Billy Pearce, Little and Large, Bernie Clifton, Magic (A Tribute to Queen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm considering going now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 Are they doing Skeggy this year again? Minehead November 9th. Â Still seems expensive to me- isn't Butlins horrendous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzazz941 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Minehead November 9th. Â Are you sure it's that date? Ticketmaster has the 'Raw World Tour' in Cardiff November 9th. Â Somehow my family are going to this! (My mum asked if the Rock and Stone Cold would be there ) It'll be my first WWE event, so I'm looking forward to it, no matter how shit Butlins is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Only time I ever went to Butlins was in Bognor about 20 years ago with school. It was off season and I got food poisoning. Â However, did go to an All Star show at Butlins Skegness a few years ago and was able to get a day pass which enabled me to get into the wrestling for free.

King Pitcos Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Minehead November 9th.  Are you sure it's that date? Ticketmaster has the 'Raw World Tour' in Cardiff November 9th.  Somehow my family are going to this! (My mum asked if the Rock and Stone Cold would be there ) It'll be my first WWE event, so I'm looking forward to it, no matter how shit Butlins is  That's the date the Butlins website has (you book the weekend of the 9th-12th), but I guess the event could be on Saturday 10th or Sunday 11th.

Pier Six Brawler Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Butlins had a load of money spent on it about a decade ago. It's hardly the greatest place in the world to go on holiday, but for a weekend, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Minehead is pretty good. Those Adult weekends they do are fantastic value, I don't think I'd ever go there for WWE though. Seems quite expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
