Accommodation and entertainment
It’s not hard to see why so many teams are queuing up to join us at ESF in Skegness each year. On top of being one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments in the UK, Butlin’s Skegness is without doubt one of the very best holiday resorts around. It’s the perfect combination for an action packed tour. The resort has a huge variety of sports and leisure facilities, exciting rides at the Fairground, superb evening entertainment venues, quality accommodation and great places to eat and drink.
Children and parents alike love the Splash Waterword, quasar, Go Karts, adventure golf, high ropes with ‘Leap of Faith’ and there’s even a Health Spa to help relax and rejuvenate after all the excitement.*
When the evening comes round, Hotshots has ten pin bowling, arcade games and American pool, or you can catch a box office hit at Butlin’s Cinema.
There’s also a fantastic range of entertainment on offer at the two premier venues, Centre Stage and Reds, every night at no extra cost. Some of the UK’s most talented performers appear in Butlin’s’ West-End style shows, including top names you’ll recognise from TV, tribute acts, live bands and more.
Your party are assured of a comfortable stay in a choice of Standard, Silver or Gold grades of accommodation. The new Fairground and Seaside Apartments are also a great option for teams who like a bit of luxury on tour. Butlin’s half board dining plans always prove to be extremely popular with our teams. There’s a wide selection of choices available and you can go back for seconds as many times as you like – perfect for hungry young footballers!
