Like most of UK in December, we were glued to our TVs watching Luke 'The Nuke' Littler – who's turning 18 on January 21. Even though he recently became the youngest-ever winner of the World Darts Championship, he's never been able to (legally) celebrate this with an alcoholic beverage.
However, to celebrate this milestone, Butlin's is gifting Luke a special annual 'black card pass' to the Butlin's Big Weekenders. This means Luke and his friends can enjoy the ultimate adults-only getaways all year round – and we’re jealous.
The Butlin's resort in Minehead is the only UK holiday destination to exclusively host two Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, and Luke played at both last year.
The resort is known for its vibrant atmosphere, with fancy dress, dramatic matches, and walk-on music all contributing to the fun. Whatsmore, nearly half of the UK (47%) believes darts is the most fun sport to watch live, and it's easy to see why.
The Big Weekenders at Butlin's are the perfect example of modern darts experiences. With over 70 breaks to choose from across three resorts – Minehead, Bognor Regis, and Skegness – there's something for everyone. From 90s Reloaded to Back to the 2000s, and dance Weekenders like We Love Ibiza to unique experiences with Fat Boy Slim and DJ Spoony, the options are endless.
Starting from just £59 per person, Butlin's Big Weekenders offer incredible value for money. Alongside three nights' accommodation, guests can enjoy live music, headline performances, new daytime experiences, and popular activities like pool parties, silent discos, and 'Bingo Bango'.
Better yet, how do you fancy saving yourself 20% off your next Butlin's vay-cay? Because from January 14 until February 5, there's a discount on select Family and select Big Weekender breaks.
How good is that?
Mike Godolphin, Entertainment Director at Butlin's, said: 'We're proud to host some of the biggest names in darts twice a year in Minehead, and currently there's no one bigger than Luke Littler. Every time Luke has visited us at Butlin's, he's always been playing, so for his 18th this month, we're delighted to offer the reigning World Champion a birthday present to remember. We'll be gifting a free annual pass to Butlin's Big Weekenders for him and his friends to celebrate in style now he's old enough to enjoy them as a guest. With over 70 breaks to choose from, we're confident he'll have the best birthday ever and can't wait to welcome Luke and his mates on a Big Weekender!'
And if you're not one of the 35% in the UK that's more interested in darts than two years ago (and that's over 23 million Brits), then the Butin's in Bognor Regis resort also boasts PLAYXPERIENCE, a brand new £15M state-of-the-art indoor activity centre with nine exciting activities, including TechPutt, Escape Rooms, VR-cade, Glow Pong, Shuffleboard, Laser Tag, Batting Cage, Neo Games, and Digi Darts. Luke is sure to top the leaderboard when he visits with his mates.
We should also mention that Butlin's is also giving one lucky winner and three friends the chance to win a 2025 Big Weekender of their choice. Keep an eye on the Butlin's Big Weekenders social channels to find out more.
