Explore Bognor Regis
Known for
Butlin's holiday camp (the original, opened 1960), the Regis title (granted after King George V convalesced here), the beach, the birdman rally, and a West Sussex seaside resort of traditional English holiday character
A little history
Bognor received the 'Regis' suffix after King George V convalesced here in 1929. Billy Butlin opened his Bognor holiday camp in 1960 — it remains one of the most popular in the UK. The International Bognor Birdman competition, where competitors launch themselves off the pier attempting human-powered flight, is one of Britain's most eccentric annual events.
The Birdman competition in August is genuinely entertaining — human-powered flight attempts from the pier. The beach is good. Butlin's for the full traditional British holiday experience.
