Celebrating Sir William (Billy) Butlin

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Billy Butlin was the firstborn son of William and Bertha Butlin, with his brother, Harry John Butlin, completing their family circle. However, the relationship between William and Bertha faced challenges, which ultimately contributed to the legacy of Butlins. This area of the Butlins Memorabilia website is dedicated to celebrating this remarkable individual and demonstrating how his vision has created lasting memories for many campers and staff members.
