Heads Up! Easter outings booty!

Former_MSE_Archna

What's this about?

With the Easter holidays creeping up on us, you needn't spend the earth if you want to treat the family to a fun day out. There are many ways to cut the cost, with a variety of vouchers including 2 for 1 at Alton Towers, free dance, football or swimming lessons.

2 for 1 Tussauds Group (Alton Towers, Madam Tussauds etc) tickets.

There are currently a few promotions that'll get you 2for1 on entry at any Tussauds Group attraction. If you buy an adult ticket, you can get a free adult or child ticket to accompany it. These can cost £34 so it's a substantial saving.

The attractions on offer are:

Alton Towers Resort, Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo, THORPE PARK, LEGOLAND® Windsor, Warwick Castle, Madame Tussauds, the Dungeons, and SEA LIFE/Sanctuaries.


How to get 'em.

• From Sky (customers only). All Sky customers can print the vouchers directly off its site. Offer ends 31 May. Print Sky 2 for 1 voucher

• From Tetley Tea: The vouchers can also be found on promotional packs of Tetley teabags while stocks last.

• From Woolies: Spend a tenner at Woolies to get the voucher.

Excluded days: Some days are excluded from the offer. Before planning a specific day always check the terms and conditions so you can go.

Other days out offers

• Free kids activities with the Telegraph. Between Monday 7 - Friday 11 April The Telegraph (with Ford's backing) will be printing vouchers for free kids' sports/activities. The activities on offer are Dance, Drama & Music, Football, Swimming, and Multisports, and they're located at participating venues all around the country (see each voucher for details).

• 2 for 1 at Zoos/Aquariums nationwide with Kelloggs. The breakfast giant is giving away 2for1 Zoo/Aquarium tickets on special 'Zookeeper' branded packs of cereal. To claim you just need to type a code into the Kelloggs website. Read the full post about this offer.

• 'Brit trips' with Walkers Crisps. Collect Walkers crisp packets for money off/1/2 price, or even free entry to a whole range of days out locations in the UK. Read the full post about this offer.

I can't see where it says the voucher on Sky

http://perks.sky.com/perks/current/topattractions.aspx#termsContainer

is for Sky customers only.

It just says "This voucher entitles the bearer to only one FREE ENTRY per voucher and per full paying adult."

So why not just print the voucher from Sky?

This gives you £16 adult entrance and £12 for children. Its a PDF. Seems to be better if you purchase a child and adult ticket as adult/adult ticket works out better with BOGOF ticket above.

Don't forget to maxamize Tesco deals, I've "spent" £35 of Tesco vouchers to take a total of 8 people to LegoLand & Drusillas, saving over £100 in "real" money (or saving even more if you count the vouchers as free money in the first place!) in the holidays!

Am now on the lookout for more cheap/free things to do with a nearly 3YO.....any suggestions apprecieated.;)

How will they know I'm a Sky customer? What's to stop me printing it off and using it, even though I am not a Sky customer?

I've even read through the Terms and Condition and can't see how they require you to be a Sky customer...

I'm not going to be arrested at the ticket booth, am I..?


P.S. I'm a long-time subscriber to the e-mail but a first-time poster. Please be gentle...

IndieSinger - I wouldn't bother with the Sky voucher - it's a two for one voucher that expires in May. You don't need to prove you're a Sky customer - unless you're doing the hotel booking.

The voucher that deepakgeorge posted is better because it's half price - so if there's 3 people they each get half price vs 2 half price & 1 full price with the Sky one. Plus (for Thorpe Park at least) it doesn't expire til October.

IndieSinger

Ah thank you, kind person.

There will probably be an odd number of us going so rather than sharing out the savings, we'll just take some of those vouchers.

It says that photocopied vouchers will not be accepted but presumably you can print off as many as you like..?

aless02

But I'm correct in assuming that for 2 people, it would be the same to print off the Sky voucher (which I did just fine, despite not being a customer) & take it to the booths on the day, thus getting 1 person in free? Has anyone used this yet? Sorry to seem the skeptic, just the voucher looks a little funny (like any kid could of made it!) and not very official. Maybe it's just me...

IndieSinger

I thought that too, aless02. Then I thought maybe the code under the bar code changes. Mine say V035. But then I just thought that the bar code is the important bit and it doesn't need to be official.
