Great British Summer Savings Scheme Starts Today - Where You Can Claim Discounts
The government-backed scheme cuts prices on theme parks, cinemas and children’s meals, with some families saving tens of pounds per day out.
- On Thursday, June 25, the government-backed 'Great British Summer Savings' scheme launched, offering temporary VAT reductions on family attractions, cinema tickets, and children's meals across the UK.
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the £300 million package to ease household financial pressures, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said families should afford 'moments that matter' with children during holidays.
- Merlin Entertainments' Alton Towers now offers advance tickets from £29.75, down from £34, while The Odeon reduced family tickets from £32 to £28.50 and Nando lowered 'Nandino' meals from £6.95 to £6.08.
- UK Hospitality chairwoman Kate Nicholls called the VAT cut 'the quickest and simplest way to lower prices and boost consumer confidence,' signaling broad industry support for the temporary measure.
- Running until September 1, the scheme excludes season passes like Merlin annual tickets but includes free bus travel for children aged five to 15 in England during August school holidays.
