Staff at Butlin's in Bognor Regis 'strongly recommended' guests leave early last night and this morning as weather warnings for Storm Eunice persist.

Guests who opted to leave early were offered a £25 discount off the cost of their next Butlin's break. "We understand that (leaving) may be necessary for you, but disappointing at the same time," an update posted on the Butlin's website reads.

"As with all weather warnings, things can change quite frequently," the website reads. "Please look out for digital signage around the resort and our team will be available to help you with any questions you may have. We’ll send you app push notifications (ensure you have your push notifications enabled) to update you on any changes."

The news comes after the Butlin's resort in Minehead was closed following reports of a 'major incident' in the area.

Guests who are due to arrive at Butlin's today (February 18) have been warned that a venue change may take place upon arrival.
