and live on Freeview channel 276
Staff at Butlin's in Bognor Regis 'strongly recommended' guests leave early last night and this morning as weather warnings for Storm Eunice persist.
Guests who opted to leave early were offered a £25 discount off the cost of their next Butlin's break. "We understand that (leaving) may be necessary for you, but disappointing at the same time," an update posted on the Butlin's website reads.
