[2] Butlins Minehead underwent major development during the 1980s, when problems with flooding were finally fixed, and both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools were converted into funpools with the addition of waterslides, water cannons, and various other novelty features.

[3] As at Bognor Regis and Skegness, Minehead resort underwent further changes in 1998 and 1999 with the demolition of the Windsor building, relocation of the outdoor funpool and construction of the Skyline Pavilion in its place.

[2] The "Skyline Pavilion" is a large area within each resort that is enclosed under a white tensile fabric canopy.

Each Skyline Pavilion contains a stage (used mainly for daytime children's shows), associated seating, an amusement arcade and various shops selling novelties, souvenirs, and groceries.

Butlins Minehead developed the Ex More Adventures which include a climbing wall, diving courses, horse riding, Land Rover safari, fly fishing and sea fishing, sailing, canoeing and coasteering, some of which are held at Exmoor National Park.

[4][5] The Minehead camp has on several occasions played host to the Britain's Strongest Man contest, most recently in 2004,[6] and since 2006 the Butlins Resort has been one of the venues for the World Wrestling Entertainment's UK winter tour.

[7] It also hosts the Professional Darts Corporation's UK Open and Players Championship Finals tournaments.

[12] Named after the song "All Tomorrow's Parties" by the Velvet Underground, it was an alternative to larger mainstream festivals and was presented in a more intimate environment than a giant stadium or huge country field.
