We Love the 70s (Minehead)

Another of Butlins' Big Weekend events, the We Love The 70's at the Minehead resort does pretty much what it says on the tin.  It is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for anyone with a fondness for the 70's and the stars who soundtracked that special era.  This year sees Brotherhood of Man and Thomas McClary of the Commodores fame, take the stage.

There is a wide range of chalets, apartments and rooms that provide you with great value for money, and as the event is taking place at the resort, not only is the accomodation included in the ticket price, but it is close to where all the action is taking place.  This makes travelling to and from events a breeze.
