Forget the cold winter nights in January, **Butlin’s** is turning up the heat from **23 - 26 January 2026** with the launch of **Don’t Tell Mama**, a brand-new **LGBTQ+ Big Weekender** bringing three days and nights of outrageous fun to their **Bognor Regis Resort**.

Get ready to immerse yourself in a weekend of Drag Royalty, featuring *RuPaul’s Drag Race UK* stars **Tia Kofi**, **La Voix**, **Michael Marouli** and *Celebrity Big Brother* finalist and fan-favourite **Danny Beard**, while pop icons such as **Vengaboys**, **Louise**, **East 17** and **Claire Richards** will deliver the perfect dose of '90s nostalgia, and the newly announced **The Wanted 2.0** will be adding fresh energy to the lineup.

Plus, TikTok troublemaker **Bailey J Mills** and the iconic **Myra DuBois** will grace the stage with their presence, wit, and irreverent charm, guaranteed to leave audiences in stitches… and maybe just a little bit afraid.

Butlin’s have partnered with Brighton-based producers, **E3**, to curate this fabulous event. E3 Founder and former Chairman of **Brighton & Hove Pride**, **David Hill**, commented “There’s non-stop entertainment around the clock! Our revellers can enjoy Bottomless Drag Brunches hosted by the queens of your dreams, **Mahatma Khandi** and **Ella V Ryde**, and Pool Parties soundtracked by Gaydio and "London’s Duttiest Black Queer Club,” **Queer Bruk**.

"They can also dive into **Drag Bingo** with **Alfie Ordinary**, **Drag Karaoke** with **Letitia Delish** and theatrical excellence with **C’est Magnifique**. Our guests can even dust off their cowboy boots ready for some line-dancing fun with **The Rodeo Queens**.”

When night falls, the resort transforms into a dancefloor dream, with club takeovers from Brighton’s Polyglamorous, London’s **BEEFMINCE**, and **What’s Your Pleasure?**, complimented by top-tier DJs. Saturday night will bring a resort-wide costume party (theme dropping soon), and **Gaydio** will close the weekend with a bang at the **One Last Dance Party**.

Butlin’s and E3 will be pulling out all the stops to make **Don’t Tell Mama** a weekender to remember: the perfect place for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to let their hair down. With great food, bars, and accommodation all just steps away from the action, we never thought we’d say it… but bring on January!
