The Sportsfield
The Sportsfield
The Sportsfield was often the focal point for many of the special outdoor competitions held at Butlins. Events on the Sportsfield could be watched at a distance from the first floor Coffee Bar in the Viennese Building.

The Sportsfield was bounded by chalets on the left, the Viennese Building in the centre, and the Dining Halls (stores complex) on the right.


Marching Band
This was one of the service roads upon which the stores to and from the Dining Halls traversed on small trailers pulled along by a motor driven unit. This was a working area, not really a place to dawdle!
