Great British Summer Savings

Great news for families this summer. The government's Great British Summer Savings scheme runs from 25th June to 1st September 2026, temporarily slashing VAT on a range of days out and dining experiences to help make the most of the season without the hefty price tag. That means reduced prices on children's meals in restaurants, children's tickets for theatres and cinemas, and entry for everyone to attractions including soft play, adventure centres and theme parks.

Whether you're planning a family day out, a meal together or a big summer adventure, there's never been a better time to explore everything the region has to offer for less.
