Butlin's sold back to founding owners

Holiday camp business Butlin’s has come full circle, with sale back to original owners the Harris family for £300m.

Blackstone and Bourne Leisure have agreed to sell it back after it changed hands in January 2021.

Established in 1936 by Billy Butlin, it operates three parks in Minehead, Bognor Regis and in Skegness.

Butlin’s welcomes about 1.5m guests a year.

The Harris family still have a stake in Haven and Warner Leisure owner Bourne Leisure.
