There's a good sports bar at Butlins Minehead, no doubt it will be on.

Watched the Utd/Liverpool match there last year, great craic.

I know we're all there for the tunes and the rest, but I have to agree with evilS - the bar is pretty good, and watching the footy on the screens / ten pin bowling with a few beers on the sat afternoon was a perfect way to calm down after the mayhem of Friday.

Then you get to go and do it all again on Saturday night :)

And on Sunday night.

God I can't wait 8)

the football last year was surreal, watching man u get such a spanking threatened to derail my enjoyment it was that bad, good job an all so heavenly line-up of beats and craic awaited, was still hard to stomach last year...but yeah do agree the facilities for other leisure niblets are great at butlins

Yeah, I watched 2 extremely wasted lads play a few frames last year.

Surprised there wasn't more ppl playing, the counter where they keep the shoes seemed to be manned alot of the time.

in fairness i wouldn't say no to a game...but i can't see my interest lastin a full frame. especially not from the saturday on...it takes all my effort just to eat somethin at that stage. i think i could fit onto one plate every meal i've eaten at all 3 bloc's. not good...more room for liquor tho ;)
