As we begin to draw closer to the summer months, many restaurants will be looking to re-visit their menus to incorporate children’s meals and special offers to cater for the higher demand. As a result, many supermarkets and restaurant chains will be offering significant discounts on meals. For instance, Asda will be offering children across England and Wales a hot or cold meal for £1 across all their cafes from the 25 July until 4 September, irrespective of what adults spend.

If you are yet to have booked any excursions, such as a trip to a Safari Park, Zoo, or Theme Park, it is not too late to find a great deal to attractions this summer. There are several travel providers that still have availability, you may be surprised to find that you could save up to 50% with some providers as they need to fill vacancies over the summer period. It is always worth looking out for special offers on cereal boxes and consider seeing if your supermarket will exchange loyalty points for attraction vouchers.

Consider taking some time to explore the great outdoors. It is free to do for the most part, for instance English Heritage has more than 250 free-to-enter historic sites, from medieval castles to grand manor houses. You may need to pay for parking but taking a packed lunch and making a picnic in the great outdoors can help to justify the cost of travelling and parking.

There are many attractions that are designed to be enjoyed when it is raining outside. For instance, aquariums, museums, and some farms are all great options for indoor fun. Of course, you could catch the latest film at the cinema for a change of scenery if the rain is stopping your outdoor plans. Visiting these attractions at certain times during weekdays can save you a lot of money, so it’s always worth checking their website or calling them to find out if special discounts are available before you visit.
