Butlins Resort Skegness has announced that their official taxi operators 'Red Cabs', will be on hand during the Mineworkers Festival later this month to assist bands with their travel arrangements throughout the weekend.

Eye catching

'Red Cabs' taxis are a unique fleet of vehicles in eye catching red which are easily located inside the Butlins main entrance.

They provide a friendly and efficient service offering a fleet of 7 and 8 seater vehicles, some of which provide substantial luggage space in order to accommodate musical instruments and luggage requirements.
