Essays by David Chandler, Stephen Bull and Roni Brown

For two years Anna Fox recorded holiday culture at the Butlin's resort in the seaside town of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of the company.

Butlin's is a British institution and an established cultural phenomenon with a very particular character, history and identity. Having attracted tens of millions of holidaymakers since 1936, its popularity peaked in the nineteen-seventies, but it remains a thriving centre for family holidays and themed leisure breaks. Working with a large-format camera, Fox's deeply saturated colour provides a fascinating update to an icon most often associated with the golden era of British seaside culture, in contrast to the themed adult weekends now on offer.

A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
