SATURDAY night television’s Gladiators are coming to Minehead next year as Butlin’s refreshes its entertainment offering.
The stars of the game show will be live for guests at the company’s holiday resort during school holidays from February half-term and selected summer holiday breaks.
There will also be opportunities to meet the Gladiators in the resort’s Studio 36, where they will compete in fun and interactive games allowing the whole audience to be involved.
The new daytime experience means guests can head back to Studio 36 in the evenings to enjoy The Masked Singer or Stephen Mulhern, as both shows return for 2025.
Stephen Mulhern, star of In for a Penny, Catchphrase, and Deal or No Deal, will be back for next year’s summer holidays.
After starting his career as a Redcoat in Minehead, he will be celebrating 25 years in showbiz with his biggest and best show yet.
The Masked Singer Live also returns to Butlin’s in 2025 with new disguises, new songs, new routines, and new mystery celebrities.
The live show will be hosted by a special guest presenter, where guests will enjoy all the excitement and drama of the hit television series but with a Butlin’s twist.
Other new shows will include Animals and Mythical Beasts, which follows on from the popular Animals vs Dinosaurs, and sees life-size creatures from the plains of Africa to the UK countryside come bursting on to the stage in an eye-popping performance.
There will also be new pantomime Snow White and Her Magnificent Friends, a new Skyline Gang Show Beside the Sea, a Dinosaur Experience in the Skyline Pavilion, and Iconic, which celebrates music, talent, and iconic performances from around the world.
Butlin’s entertainment director Mike Godolphin said: “Nowhere else does entertainment like Butlin’s and 2025 really will be our best year yet for incredible live shows.”
