IF you think Butlins is just for families - grab some friends and prepare to party at one of their kid-free Big Weekends.

They're full of live music, DJ sets and the big kids get to play on the go-carts, funfair or one the water rides in Splash Waterworld without having to compete with little 'uns.

Skool Reunion runs at Minehead from May 9 to 12. Prices from £89pp per break.

Bet your school disco didn't feature 911, Go West, Sash!, Angie Brown, tributes to Queen, Oasis and Kylie or live sets from Pat Sharp - this one does. As well as your school disco you can have a go at the traditional school sports day with egg and spoon and three legged - school days revisited Butlins-style.

90s Reloaded runs at Skegness for May 9 to 12. Prices from £84pp per break.

A break full of surprises with live performance by I'm Too Sexy Right Said Fred and mesmerising evening with David Gest, not only DJ-ing but spilling the beans on his showbiz friends such as Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.

Also feature live performances from Sash!, Angie Brown and Anita Doth from 2 Unlimited with tributes to Pet Shop Boys and Guns'n'Roses.

Festival of 60s runs at Bognor Regis from May 16 to 19. Prices from £76pp per break.

The ever popular sounds of the 60s when Britain lead the world in pop, fashion and football always attracts a crowd ready to party.

Add in the Mersey Beat with Gerry and the Pacemakers and the Searchers plus Herman's Hermits, The Animals, The Fortunes, Marmalade, the Dreamers, Union Gap, Edison Lighthouse and live shows The Beatles Story and Elvis The Vegas Years and it all seems like yesterday.
