The boss of Butlin’s revealed it contacted Pontins’ owner Britannia Hotels about taking over the holiday park in Southport
Holiday camp giant Butlin’s is reported to be considering a move for the abandoned Pontins holiday park in Southport.
"We would definitely still be interested," Mr Hendry Pickup told the Mirror. "We would definitely like a conversation with them." Butlin’s three existing resorts are in Minehead, Somerset, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, and Skegness, Lincolnshire. The closure of the three Pontins sites comes as Butlin’s prepares for what it predicts will be a record year, with guest numbers set to top 1.5m.
