My Spring Harvest

How can I help?

Can I volunteer?

Yes please! Every year our Spring Harvest family expands as a huge team of people in a variety of roles bring Spring Harvest to life. Spring Harvest’s remarkable army of volunteers benefit from free accommodation and meals, plus a contribution towards travel costs. Serving alongside the full-time team, you get to experience the ministry of Spring Harvest and know that you have made a difference as people worship, learn and laugh together. And there is always time off to experience the event!

Why not consider joining one of the teams in 2023 where you can serve our guests and contribute to the life-changing ministry of Spring Harvest? Many volunteers build up lasting friendships and return year after year.

How can I support Spring Harvest?

There are many ways in which you can support Spring Harvest: through prayer, encouraging friends to attend, volunteering or giving financially. See below for more details.

Accommodation

Will there be Chalet TV in my accommodation?

We know that Chalet TV has been valued by some of our guests in the past, but we are no longer able to guarantee its availability in accommodation due to the aging equipment it relies upon. We may be able to offer an alternative means of watching the main sessions in your accommodation via the internet if a cost effective way of doing so can be found.

Can I book a caravan that’s already at Butlin’s?

Yes, you can book a privately owned caravan at Butlin's and but you will then also need to book Day Visitor passes to access the Spring Harvest event. Day Visitor passes will be available closer to the event.

Can I bring a touring caravan to Spring Harvest?

Butlin's have closed the touring caravan sites on their resorts so we are no longer able to take bookings for touring caravans. If you would like to come in your touring van you can book onto a local site and buy day visitor tickets for Spring Harvest. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment caused.

Can I request ground floor accommodation?

Yes, you can do this for an additional £15 charge.
Blue badge holders can be reimbursed this charge by calling Guest Services once on site at Butlin's.

Do Butlin’s have single accommodation?

A small amount of single accommodation is made available for one person to occupy at a supplement of £30 (however, this accommodation mostly sells out on the day booking lines open).

Do Butlin’s have disabled/adapted accommodation?

Yes, there is a limited amount on each site. Please phone Butlin’s Minehead on 0330 100 9332 or Skegness on 0330 100 9331 to check availability and book, as this can’t be booked online.

Please note that the fully adapted accommodation usually sells quickly, so we advise booking immediately on the day booking lines open to avoid disappointment.

Prices for Skegness & Minehead

How much is the dining package?

There are two Dining Packages available, Standard and Premium.
Standard: Adult £23.95, Child (6-14) £14.50, Child (2-5) £6.80.
Premium: Adult £31.75, Child (6-14) £17.95, Child (2-5) £7.95.

Prices are per person, per day.

How can I book day visitor passes?

Please visit our Prices Page and scroll to the bottom, for information regarding our Day Visitor passes.

Do I have to pay in full at time of booking, and if not, when is full payment due?

You only need to pay an initial deposit of £35 per adult and £20 per child aged two to 14 unless booking within 70 days of the start, as that’s when you’ll need to pay in full. Butlin’s are happy for you to spread the cost throughout the year using www.butlins.com/pay.

Groups can also spread the cost throughout the year using the same system.

If a child comes instead of an adult, or if someone cancels so there’s an empty bed, will I be charged the child rate?

Yes, empty bed spaces are charged at the child rate.

How much does it cost for children to attend?

Subtract £20 from the brochure price for children two to 14 years, children under two years may attend free of charge.

Discounts & Concessions

Our Church includes a family of asylum seekers and another on a very low income. Can you help them to come?

Our bursaries help people in severe hardship who otherwise could not afford to attend, even with a Concession payment.
Application must be made by a church leader and the church must offer some support. The bursary will not cover meals or travel costs.

Is there any help for benefit recipients?

Anyone who has booked for Spring Harvest and receives certain state benefits may apply for a payment from our Concession fund using our simple online form. You will be asked to upload evidence of your benefit (eg a photo or pdf of a letter) and details of your booking.

Do you offer discounts for groups?

Yes we do. For Skegness and Minehead the 16th guest in the group is booked free of charge. If booking for Skegness or Minehead, groups of 16 people or more will need to call the resort directly. Skegness: 0330 100 9331 Minehead: 0330 100 9332.
