BUTLINS. The Rise and Fall of an Empire

Stephen Wells began as a Butlin's Redcoat and went on to being the Entertainment Executive responsible for booking some of the biggest stars in Show Business.

This wonderful and very funny talk is fully illustrated and includes lots of great stories about the stars, including Cliff Richard, Josef Locke, Bob Monkhouse, Jimmy Tarbuck, Des O'Connor, Ringo Starr, Laurel & Hardy, Les Dennis, Tommy Cooper, Tommy Trinder, Max Wall and many more.

A fascinating talk that will be enjoyed both by those who have enjoyed Butlin holidays and by those who never went. With just £5.00 Billy Butlin built a holiday empire that gave pleasure to millions! You will discover the real 'Hi-Di-Hi!' in this wonderfully humorous and fully illustrated talk.

This entertaining and funny talk lasts for 50-60 minutes and is currently available as a ZOOM talk, and can often be booked at short notice.
