Take a look for some savings this Summer! From places to eat to activities for the children, a range of different savings are listed.
Rising prices can make life’s little treats harder to afford, especially during the school holidays when costs build up for families. This Government have announced the Great British Summer Savings scheme.
From 25 June to 1 September 2026, the Government is temporarily cutting VAT from 20% to 5% on children’s meals in restaurants, children and family tickets to cinemas, theatres, concerts and exhibitions, and admission to a wide range of attractions. Combined with free bus travel during August for children aged 5 to 15 in England, families and young people will be able to enjoy experiences that make summer special, including visits to the kinds of cultural and educational attractions that enrich children’s lives outside the classroom.
There is an attraction finder website which allows you to type in your postcode and find participating venues near you to make the most of summer savings.
To use the attraction finder, please visit https://summersavings.gov.uk.
