Butlins
This collection features retro colour photos of Butlins, documenting the golden age of the British family holiday at various camps and hotels between the 1950s and the 1980s. These vintage colour pictures capture the unique atmosphere of the Butlins experience, defined by the iconic Redcoats, communal dining halls, and the vast array of indoor and outdoor entertainment facilities that made the brand a household name.
You can find more camp images on our general Holiday Camp page or visit our main Britain photo archive.
All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects – or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
