About this product

Product Information

The Nation's Host charts the incredible inside story of Butlin's, from its origins in a British society still reeling from the economic downturn of the 1920s, to its heyday in the mid-twentieth century and the challenges posed by the arrival of overseas package holidays. Lavishly illustrated throughout with timeless images from the Butlin's archives, many of which have never been seen before, this is a unique insight into the history of a company long synonymous with the British seaside holiday. In 1936, with the opening of his first holiday camp in Skegness, Billy Butlin laid the foundations for a new era in the history of the British seaside. Today, his legacy still lives on as Butlin's celebrates its 80th year as an iconic British institution. The Nation's Host charts the incredible inside story of Butlin's, from its origins in a British society still reeling from the economic downturn of the 1920s, to its heyday in the mid-twentieth century and the challenges posed by the arrival of overseas package holidays. Lavishly illustrated throughout with timeless images from the Butlin's archives, many of which have never been seen before, this is a unique insight into the history of a company long synonymous with the British seaside holiday.

    A must-read for anyone interested in the great British holiday

    If you've ever stayed at a Butlin's holiday resort, this book is a must-read. If you've never stayed at a Butlin's resort, or your only knowledge of the British holiday camp system comes from watching Hi-De-Hi!, this book will tell you everything you need to know. It's an attractively presented, lavishly illustrated, large-format book which lays bare the history of a British institution, from its origins to its glory years, the peaks and troughs which followed, to its modern-day reinvention for the 21st century. Packed with interesting nuggets and priceless photos, such as Laurel and Hardy judging a beauty contest at Butlin's back in 1948. I bought this book after reading Roger Lewis's rave review in the Daily Mail, and I wasn't disappointed!
