This film was produced to promote Skegness as a holiday resort and to detail the various activities and attractions on offer. For many of us it will bring to mind an era of more 'simple' pleasures, and the type of holidays many of us took with our families in the post-war period. During the 1960s affordable package holidays to continental Europe grew in popularity with British families, and this film can be seen as an attempt to remind consumers of what Britain's resorts had to offer.

This title came to MACE via a film collector and further details of the filmmaker, writer and narrator can be found on the relevant MACE catalogue page.
