BUTLINS. The Rise and Fall of an Empire

Stephen Wells began his career as a Butlin's Redcoat and went on to become the Entertainment Executive responsible for booking some of the biggest star names in Show Business.

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

A fascinating and very funny 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 witty and fully illustrated talk.

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