Children
Spring Harvest is a great event for families.
Throughout the day there's plenty of time for you to spend together as a family, ensuring you have fun together and allowing you some time out. There are loads to of things to do - that's the great
thing about being at Butlins – all the holiday amenities of a purpose built Resort!

We provide fantastic, fun programmes for children and young people from 3 months up, all led by experienced children and youth specialists.
Age groups
Children are split into the following age groups. Click an age group to see who will be running the childrens
programme:
We do have to adhere to these age limits, so although your child may be an older child in their age group, they need to
stay in this group. This is affected by the Offsted-required ratios of staff to children for different age categories.
If your child has turned 11, he or she can choose to stay in 8-11s or head on up to Distinctive, which is our programme for 11-14s.
What will my children do during the week?
The clever thing about Spring Harvest is that everyone follows the same teaching material – it's distilled into simple bites for kids, so the whole family learns together.
Children with special needs
If your child has a special need (anything that may mean they need a little extra care and attention), let us know in advance. That helps us cater as far as possible for your child.

TV Relayed meetings from the Big Top
We provide a live (and repeated) TV feed from all the meetings in the Big Top, directly on to your TV in the chalet. It's a great way to ensure parents don’t miss out, as children aged under 5 aren't allowed into the main meetings. You're welcome to bring in tots under 3 months and as long as you sit in the Parents Area which is near the exit, you can pop out with them if you need to.
