Blast from the past. Great memories with the family. We was their in the 80s. Remember me and my sister going on the big rollercoaster. Think it was called the boomerang. Good Times.

🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

As a child, went there with the family from late 50’s through the 60’s. Fantastic memories. 😀

Wow !!! That brought back so many memories from my childhood. We used to go every year before the Gaiety Building burnt down and even after, and had some fantastic holiday there. Fantastic postcards and pics of many things I had forgotten about. Thank you so much.

Great vid. Our chalet was right next to the roller coster so we used to go on it at least 4 times a day lol

From Heather!

Hello there!

Remember these in French bar Pwllheli

Where is zig zag.... They were an amazing duo

Everywere were there was a a arcade a shop a cinema a free activity fun fair cable cars ,train ,has now been replaced by a caravan or a car park soulless greed

Vocalist in the French bar with the show band in the 80’s these pics bring back memories

Went here twice with my Primary School. Absolutely loved having chalets to ourselves like our own flats! Bought Honeycomb in the shop and walked on mount Snowdon!!! Best childhood memories ever!!!!

Thankyou. I can't remember the year I was here, 1984/5/6, we went attending the UKFJB contest, (United Kingdom Federation of Jazz Bands) - remember when they were a thing and every town had one? I was in the Nottingham Forrester's as the shield bearer, I would have been around 9-11 years old lol. I loved the place, I wasn't with my parents and under the "care" of another family who I shared a challet with. I have fond memories of this place... Remember going on the chair lift on my own all the way to the beach lol. I think I got in trouble for going on my own lol. They didn't offer much supervision and I pretty did much as I pleased while I was there. Great nostalgia, thankyou for sharing this.

I worked there in 95 bringing back memories hi sam from harvy bay Australia! Hi Sarah from gethldeg estate Merthyr Tydfil ! Sian from Merthyr (who liked to draw sheep!! Random) sam from Liverpool who had boyfriend doh !! Oshan welsh lad with hearing aids hi big up Brian, ice-cream guy Sunday shop miss ya mate ❤ j

Wow memories !!! 😂was working there in 1995 , retail catering, working in little ice cream cabin by boating lake! Next season was redcoat at Skegness ❤!!!

100% I was working this day what a great video. Seeing 2 of the redcoats running from the stars bar towards the shop at the food court Clair and Tracey. 25 years ago this video brings back so many great memories for me it was the last year of butlins in pwllheli but the very best and only year I worked there. Never forget it. Thanks for sharing this.

My best mate and I went in 1972 as seventeen year olds , managed to get served beer in the bars , best holiday and carefree days , Alice Cooper song ( schools out and Hawkwinds Siver Machine ) always reminds me of that holiday .

Had some of the best Holidays ever here in 1982 & 1983. The outdoor pool, the fairground with the giant and the chairlift. Not to mention the Empire Theatre and the glue tunnel. Magical times. Went back in 1991 & 1993, I think. A little of the magic was still there then. Virtually nothing remains now at Hafan Y Mor.

I’m confused had the camp closed down or was it partly closed down ?

It's weird seeing that the Skyline is completely bare! I note that Burger King is still there though!

I went here twice in the 80s...amazing!!

I spent many happy times there as a child xx

That was great to watch. Went in 1978 when I was 6 and vaguely remember it but Went back last year to the haven site. Still some original buildings and e few chalets but most of it was unrecognisable. The little train station was still there though surprisingly. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Where's the sound gone on most of this video?

That coaster was wicked went forwards then backwards. I spent hours on it, thanks for uploading I went here 32 years ago.

So glad I came across this brings back so many wonderful memories of my childhood!! We went in 1979 lots of us several who are now gone but memories last A life time :)

Used to love those Simulators!

I don't see why everyone blames Tony Marshall (then managing director of butlins) it's not his fault he had to close this site he saved butlins but unfortunately this site had to go .Plus this site was 4th in the chain for profit and was in a bad condition because of years of neglected and a tornado. So yeah this site was saved by Tony Marshall who gave it to haven and look at it now millions invested each year.

Many happy memories. I was hoping to see inside the arcade with the Simpson’s game. I would have been there in 92/94 maybe.

Always put butlins Wales first we went lots times all family sad see it now the way it was

No atmosphere, Butlins as we knew it, is done now!

Ah the boomerang wow...

Wow, fond memories! Thank you for this!

I worked here....BEST 3 months of my life..loved everything about ìt :)

My earliest memories of here was when I was a kid my mum and dad took me here went full board and when we went in the food area we just sat down was it was table service the ladies served the table...I took my kids years later went full board and it was self service. It used to be a cheep holiday. Great memories though.

Loved it there

Good vid this brought back memories, I worked on fair in 96 and lived in sea view. I remember those park view sheds were nasty 🤣

Thank you for this video. Worked here 1999. It had turned to a Haven. Best site I worked on. Great memories.

So i went with my best mate and her family, TWICE in 1989!,!! there must have been some HUGE discount for a 2nd break the same year, however, for a couple of 13 year olds, this was heaven, out all day, would buy our dinner and be back at the chalet for tea then quick change for the night out, we would do our hair and makeup the same and identical outfits, yes, sad, but thats what we did, I got drunk on a couple of Bacardi and coke and walked home arm in arm, I grew up with this working class holiday, It did me and my mate’s family the world of good, I feel so blesses that I experienced this, it made me who I am now......a senior nurse manager WORKING CLASS ALWAYS and PROUD NORTHERNER 😀

Staff here summer 94..best times
