Days Out Quick Deals Note discussion

On Legoland website they are running an offer where if you book a short-break through them then children get free entry into the park. As it's normally cheaper and money-worthy to get a 2day ticket for legoland, then it's a pretty good deal cos unless you're really close by you'd need to stay in a hotel anyway. It's basically a double offer in one, cos when you book a short-break normally with legoland you get the 2nd day ticket free anyway, and then on top of that you're getting the child's ticket free for first day too. It's also valid for all school holiday including half-term, Easter and summer (it makes a point of saying this on website too), and it's for children up to and including 15 which is pretty good cos a lot are only up to 11.

Twin Lakes are currently offering entry at a reduced Winter price of £6.50 per person instead of last years £9.50 per person. Children under 92 cms are free. This offer is valid until 28 March. From 29 March price will increase to £10.99 - which seems to be much larger than the rate of inflation!

Also - they are currently offering annual passes for unlimited visits for the following prices. Note that the annual pass is increasing DRAMATICALLY from £34.95 to £41.95 on 29 March! Are they really allowed to make such large price increases (20% by my reckoning), especially as they have not made any allowance for the recent reduction in VAT?
Winter Price 8th November 2008 - 28th March 2009
Adult or Child £34.95 Senior Citizen / Special Needs £20.95
Under 92cms FREE
Summer Price 29th March - 6th November 2009
Adult or Child £41.95 Senior Citizen / Special Needs £25.50
Under 92cms FREE

This sounds like a great offer - until you find that the hotel is 29 miles away from Legoland. Not exactly on the doorstep and even in a different county!

EXMOOR FIGHTS THE CREDIT CRUNCH WITH ITS OWN FREE CURRENCY ‘THE EXMOOR GROAT’

Exmoor is introducing its own free currency, the Groat, to give visitors extra value during their stay and help beat the credit crunch. Groats can be downloaded online from Friday, 13 March or collected from local tourism businesses in and around the National Park, which straddles West Somerset and North Devon. Issued by the Royal Bank of Exmoor, they will be valid throughout April 2009, including the Easter break.

Visitors to the region will be able to redeem their Exmoor Groats against a wide variety of offers such as 20% off a stay at Higher Riscombe Farm, Exford; a free bottle of wine with a meal for two at Holworthy Farm, Brompton Regis and 10% off a fly fishing lesson with John Dawson or an Exmoor Safari booked at the White Horse Inn, Exford. Outlets taking part in the initiative will display a ‘We accept Groats here’ poster so visitors will know where they can be exchanged.

A former silver coin, the Groat was still in circulation in Scotland until the 20th century and is mentioned many a time in RD Blackmore’s famous novel, Lorna Doone, which was set on Exmoor during the 17th century.

According to Mike Bishop from Active Exmoor, which is running the initiative together with the Exmoor Tourist Association; “We’re all feeling the pinch, so this is a really great way to get a bargain on Exmoor this April without compromising on quality.”

Groats can be downloaded from www.exmoor.com; www.visit-exmoor.co.uk and www.activeexmoor.com; for more information call Active Exmoor 01398 324599. Details about things to see and do on Exmoor and accommodation suggestions can also be found on www.exmoor.com or call Minehead Tourist Information Centre on Tel: 0845 166 1001 for a copy of the 2009 Exmoor Coast and Country guide.

That is only one of the hotels, there is a choice and the prices are not that much difference.

Hello

There's lots of places in Portsmouth that are giving mum free entry this Sunday, Mother's Day - including the Spinnaker Tower and Royal Marines Museum - when you buy an accompanying ticket.

Have a look at www.visitportsmouth.co.uk and download the PDF on the homepage

Hi,
wondering if anyone could help, am wanting to take the kids to Gullivers Land this Saturday and going to cost 50.00 for the 4 of us, not able to use Tesco vouchers there and wondered if anyone knew if there were any discounts/vouchers out there anywhere for this?
Many thanks
