We know you’re most likely deep into an Aperol-drenched love affair with summer, but let us tell you now, you’re going to be equally smitten with Winter.

Why’s that? Well, a brand new LGBTQ+ weekender is coming to the South Coast this January and it promises to be an absolute belter. Produced by Twelve A Studios, the break in question is called Don’t Tell Mama and it’ll be landing in Butlin’s Bognor Regis between Friday 23rd and Monday 26th January.

During that time, you’ll be spoiled rotten with an incredible line-up of pop icons, drag talent and side-splitting comedians. There’ll be 90s nostalgia aplenty when the likes of Louise and East 17 take to the stage, while Celebrity Big Brother fave Danny Beard, TikTok troublemaker Bailey J Mills, and Drag Race stars Tia Kofi, Michael Marouli and La Voix will all be working their magic over the weekend, too. And of course, nobody’ll be safe when the queen of caustic wit, Myra Dubois, opens her mouth.

Aside from these spectacular headliners, there’ll be the chance to fill your days with pool parties soundtracked by Queer Bruk and Gaydio, bottomless brunches with Mahatma Khandi and Ella V Ryde, and karaoke led by Letitia Delish. When the sun sets, the party gets even louder with club takeoversby the likes of Brighton’s Polyglamorous, BEEFMINCE, and What’s Your Pleasure? There’s the opportunity to get dressed up on Saturday night with a theme to be announced soon and Gaydio will close the weekend in style with a One Last Dance party.

All this and you can also make the most of the amenities at Butlin’s, everything from the brand-new PLAYXPERIENCE indoor activity centre to the great choice of onsite restaurants and bars. There are several options for onsite accommodation mere footsteps from all the action that’ll suit groups of different sizes as well.

We never thought we’d say this, but roll on January!
