What were Quiet Lounges?
Quiet LoungeThese were simply rooms were people could go for a quiet read or chat. Some of the walls were adorned with paintings which had been purchased over the years by Billy Butlin, usually at knock down prices. However this art collection gradually increased in value and eventually became valued at several million pounds! There were also TV lounges, one for the BBC and the other for ITV. At the time chalets did not have their own televisions so people would flock to their favourite room to catch up on the latest news and entertainment.
