Nathan said, “My favourite thing about Butlin’s is that it really is a multi-generational tradition in our families. My parents used to take me on holiday there too, so it’s a place that holds a lot of special memories. I really enjoy reliving some of my fondest childhood memories at Butlin’s and now I get to share these with my own children too as their first Funbassadors!”
