Skegness, on the Lincolnshire coast, had a population of around 26,000 at the 2021 census — one of the county's best-known seaside towns, and a destination for generations of British holidaymakers.
'So bracing', and the first ever Butlin's
Skegness owes much of its national fame to a single 1908 railway poster: a jolly fisherman skipping along the sand under the slogan 'Skegness is SO bracing', commissioned by the Great Northern Railway and still used as the town's emblem today. Then, in 1936, Billy Butlin opened his first ever holiday camp on the coast just north of the town — the original Butlin's, and the start of the all-inclusive British holiday camp that later spread nationwide.
What that history doesn't leave behind
A town built on amusement arcades, chip shops and pick 'n' mix by the bag has no shortage of sweets for a day out, but it isn't set up for bulk bags, vegan and halal-friendly ranges, or trade cases for a business — that's a different kind of retail to a seaside kiosk.
Why Skegness shoppers order online instead
For a proper stocked-up order rather than a holiday treat, ordering online is the simpler route — no trip to the seafront required, and it arrives whatever the season.
