Following a record breaking year in 2025, with over 330 rugby league teams participating, the Rhinos Challenge will return to Skegness in 2026 to stage two huge touring festivals.
Butlin’s Skegness is booked exclusively on 8-11 May and on 15-18 May, meaning over 12,000 people will join us on tour for the ultimate weekend of Rugby League & Fun!
With dramatic sound and lighting effects, our spectacular presentation ceremonies are a tour highlight for many teams. Every team gets their moment of glory, when they are invited onto the main stage to receive their medals and trophies and meet our Leeds Rhinos superstar guests.
Ryan Hall, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Maika Sivo, Mikołaj Olędzki, Harry Newman, Keara Bennett, Rob Burrow, Chev Walker, Tom Briscoe, Caitlin Beevers and Ronnie the Rhino have all joined us!
There’s a huge variety of sports and leisure facilities at Butlin’s. The amazing Splash Waterworld is packed with flumes, rides and slides. Thrill seekers will also love the new rides at the Fairground, including the stomach churning Orbiter and gravity defying Eclipse!
The new SKYPARK at Butlin’s has been a huge hit, featuring four climbing towers and 10 metre tube slides that light up after dark.
There’s also a variety of live shows, tribute acts, live bands and discos, so your families can enjoy some great family entertainment, at no extra cost!
There’s a great range of accommodation for families to choose from at Butlin’s, including new Premium Lodges which are stylishly decorated and well equipped.
