Discount Crufts tickets 🐶
Hi! I'm wondering whether anyone has spotted a way of getting discounts on tickets for Crufts 2019? I've found a discount code for Ticket Factory but the website doesn't provide a space to enter one, so it's a bit obsolete! Thanks for your help 👌
Holiday scams UK - PLEASE POST AS A WARNING
I am posting here as a way to alert people to potential scams in holiday home hire (Caravans/Cottages etc) I am a member of a Holiday scam group on Facebook - the aim of FB Holiday scams is to alert people of possible fraudulent ads where genuine owners photographs are stolen and used advertise holidays with aim of…
Disney Theatre Tickets
In November last year I bought 10 tickets for Disney's Aladdin showing in London for August 2019. I used GroupLine to purchase the tickets at a discount. The tickets were distributed to me before Christmas. Yesterday I was called by GroupLine who told me that Disney has withdrawn the group discount offer for August and…

Places to eat in Brighton?
Hey all, just wondering if anyone can recommend any hidden gems in Brighton? We're visiting there in May for the Fringe Festival, and have accommodation in Kemp Town near St Mary's Church - with no breakfast, so anywhere near there that does a nice light breakfast would be especially helpful! Looking for every meal though,…
Butlins Skegness Gold/Silver Apartments Confusion
Can anyone tell me where silver apartments are located? We stayed in gold last time and were in The Keys which are the furthest end and proved too much of a walk for our littlest. Believing The Keys was exclusively gold apartments (google seems to indicate this), we’ve downgraded to Silver this year but the app is saying…
Dog friendly holidays
My partner and I are thinking of going on holiday around Easter time and were looking for dog friendly places to stay for 3-4 nights. I've never looked for such a holiday before so was wondering if anyone knew some decent areas or websites to start looking at?
Advice on split ticketing please? Apologies for long post
Hi. I'm hoping for some guidance on where I can get the information I need to travel to see family in Norfolk. I live near Glasgow and my health conditions mean that I can get a Disabled Persons Railcard for this journey. Very useful. But I also have a National Entitlement card on the same grounds which gives me 50% off…
Sun Holiday Site Issue But Money Taken
Hi, I am new to this forum so apologies if I’ve posted this in the wrong part. I’ve just booked a Sun £9.50 holiday but I went to book a second one for October. When my payment was being processed I had a website error and had to shut the page down. I then rebooked this using a different email address (thinking the system…
Alton Towers with older teens
My husband is entitled to book a stay in the Alton Towers Resort over the Services event weekend but our teens are 17 and 18. Which means we have to book 2 rooms at double the price. They can't go on their own as the Services member has to be in the party. It is only for 1 night seems ridiculous to pay for 2 rooms when…
Teenagers in Cornwall
We want to take two 17 yr olds to Cornwall in May half term for a week, any suggestions for Caravan parks with activitys for this age group and with safe beaches to learn water sports nearby x
Somewhere near Manchester for short hotel/lodge stay - Peaks?
Hi. I'm looking for somewhere nice to go, within an hour or two of Manchester by train, that will allow us to stay only for a couple of nights. Either a hotel or some kind of lodge. I've had a quick Google and the number of places that it's thrown back at me is bewildering, so I thought I'd come on here and see if anyone…
Best places to stay in North Wales
I'd like to visit North Wales in the summer and would like recommendations on places to stay. I'd like to visit Snowdonia (possibly climbing Snowdon), and also visit some of the castles, but I think I'd like to stay on the coast. I was thinking of Llandudno, Caernarfon or Porthmadog. Which of these do you think would be…
Travel to Theatre
Hi, We are booked to go to see the Cursed child in February on a Sunday. The children are in school the next day so we need to travel home same day but I am wondering about transport. We will be travelling down the M1 and I would prefer to park north of London centre if possible (with free or cheap parking) and travel in…
Suggestions For UK Family Holiday
We are a family of five, 2 adults and 3 children (2,7 and 9) for the last 10 years me and the better half have holidayed in the South West as we are based in Plymouth. This year we would like to venture further afield. Most our family and friends holiday abroad but we are not interested in that, mainly because our 7 year…
Merlin Pass
Will Merlin be doing any offers or discounts on their Annual Pass in January 2019? I know they have in the past, three months free on Black Friday 2018, but I'm reluctant to buy passes if they are going to be reduced at some point! Thanks!
