How can I help?

Can I volunteer?

Yes please! Every year our Spring Harvest family expands as a huge team of people in a variety of roles bring Spring Harvest to life. Spring Harvest’s remarkable army of volunteers benefit from free accommodation and meals, plus a contribution towards travel costs. Serving alongside the full-time team, you get to experience the ministry of Spring Harvest and know that you have made a difference as people worship, learn and laugh together. And there is always time off to experience the event!

There is also the opportunity of those booked as guests to join our Prayer team or to help in our Creative Studio.

Why not consider joining one of the teams where you can serve our guests and contribute to the life-changing ministry of Spring Harvest? Many volunteers build up lasting friendships and return year after year.

How can I support Spring Harvest?

There are many ways in which you can support Spring Harvest: through prayer, encouraging friends to attend, volunteering or giving financially. See below for more details.

Accommodation

Will there be Chalet TV in my accommodation?

We are keen to make sure those who want to are able to join in worship and teaching from their resort accommodation. You will be able to watch selected live sessions with any internet-connected device you bring with you.

We know that Chalet TV has been valued by some of our guests in the past, but we are no longer able to guarantee its availability due to the aging equipment it relies upon.

Can I book a caravan that’s already at Butlin’s?

Yes, you can book a privately owned caravan at Butlin's. You will then also need to book Day Visitor passes to access the Spring Harvest event.

Day Visitor information is on our Prices page.

Can I bring a touring caravan to Spring Harvest?

Butlin's have closed the touring caravan sites on their resorts so we are no longer able to take bookings for touring caravans.

If you would like to come in your touring van you can book onto a local site and buy day visitor tickets for Spring Harvest.

Can I request ground floor accommodation?

Yes, you can do this for an additional £15 charge.
Blue badge holders can be reimbursed this charge by calling Guest Services once on site at Butlin's.

Do Butlin’s have single accommodation?

A small amount of single accommodation is made available for one person to occupy at a supplement of £30 (however, this accommodation mostly sells out on the day booking lines open).

Do Butlin’s have disabled/adapted accommodation?

Please call the Butlin's disability line 0330 100 9732 or visit www.butlins.com/help-contact/disability-requirements to find out about their adapted accommodation. Fully adapted accommodation usually sells quickly so we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.

Booking for Spring Harvest

Can we bring a pet?

Pets are not permitted on the main Butlin’s resorts or in the Caravan Villages if staying in Butlins' caravan accommodation, so cannot be brought to Spring Harvest.

Assistance dogs are permitted, if you need to bring an assistance dog, please speak to Butlin's so you understand their criteria before booking.

What if I have to cancel?

We hope you can join us once you book, but we understand that there may be unforeseen circumstances that mean you have to change your plans.

Spring Harvest cannot cover the cost of a cancelled booking.

Butlin's offer Holiday Protection to cover your booking in case of illness, death, redundancy or Jury Service. Please see their website for full details. It is important to remember this covers the cost of the unit, not each individual guest, so groups sharing accommodation may want to look at other insurance options.

Can we buy a dining package?

There are two Dining Packages available to Butlin's guests, Standard and Premium.
See our Prices page for details.

Dining Packages are not available to day visitors. Butlin's resorts offer a range of other dining experiences, including restaurants and take-away options, which are available for all Spring Harvest guests, including day visitors. See the Butlin's website for details.

How can I book day visitor tickets?

Day visitor tickets usually go on sale from January.

You can find information about day visitor tickets towards the bottom of our prices page.

Do I have to pay in full at time of booking, and if not, when is full payment due?

For a resort booking, you only need to pay an initial deposit of £35 per adult and £20 per child aged two to 14 unless booking within 70 days of the start, as that’s when you’ll need to pay in full. Butlin’s are happy for you to spread the cost throughout the year. Log into your Butlin's account to pay in installments or visit www.butlins.com/pay to pay towards your booking any time before final payment is due.

We are not able to offer staged payments for day visitor tickets, you must pay in full when you book them..

How are the accommodation costs calculated?

Butlin's charge for accommodation units as if all beds are occupied. Any beds not used in your accommodation will be charged at the adult price minus £20 (called 'the under occupancy rate'). Children age 2-14 are charged at the adult price minus £20. Under 2's go free when in a cot rather than a bed.

A small amount of single bedroom accommodation in Silver is available for one person to occupy, supplement £30. It is always popular. If you are coming alone and don't have friends or family members you can share a unit with and are unsuccessful in booking one of the single units, you might like to consider booking alternative local accommodation and buying a day visitor pass to join us.

Discounts & Concessions

Our Church includes a family of asylum seekers and another on a very low income. Can you help them to come?

The Everyone In Fund helps people in severe hardship who otherwise could not afford to join us even with our benefits payment.

Application for the Reference payment must be made by a church leader or group organiser and the church must offer some support. We cannot cover the cost of meals or travel. Look for Apply with a Reference in the Everyone In Fund section of the Prices page.

Is there any help for benefit recipients?

Anyone who has booked for Spring Harvest and receives certain state benefits may apply for a payment from the Everyone In Fund using our simple online form. You will be asked to upload evidence of your benefit (eg a photo or scan of a letter) and details of your booking.

Look for Benefits Application in the Everyone In Fund Fund on our Prices page.

Do you offer discounts for groups?

Yes we do - book 16 guests or more and one of them comes free - book 32 or more and get two free places.

If you are booking a group of 16 people or more please call the group line:

Skegness: 0330 100 9331 or Minehead: 0330 100 9332.
