INSIDE CLOUT

WITH A NEW PLAY ZONE, STUART JAMES FINDS BOGNOR BUTLIN'S KEEPS WITH THE TIMES

- 

GIVEN the ridiculous nature of the British weather, it is little wonder that UK holiday resorts are investing massively in their indoor facilities.

Butlin's is no exception with its Bognor Regis site welcoming a new £15million activity centre, Playxperience, which is open for the first time to holidaymakers this year.

Playxperience is home to nine different activities that can be enjoyed by all the family.

Whether it is trying to work your way out of one of the three escape rooms, becoming the next Luke Littler on Digi Darts, testing your reactions on the brilliant batting cage, this building boasts the very latest in interactive and immersive technology.

For teenagers, it is a gamers' paradise. It can be expensive, as it is an additional cost to your holiday, but it will keep the children occupied for hours.

And many memories can be made on the more family-oriented activities like Shuffleboard or Tech-Putt golf.

If parents or guardians want to leave the kids to it, there is also a café on the ground floor, or for those fancying something stronger, a superb sports bar on the first floor, which is open until 11pm.

As this was a family holiday, though, we were keen to book in for activities we could all enjoy and there are so many options.
