Five cash-savvy ideas to treat the kids to a day out during October half-term
BOOK ahead and bag a half-term deal for the family.
The October half-term is around the corner — and this year it could be more expensive than ever.
But you can treat the kids and enjoy a big saving if you sort it now.
SPLASH OUT: Flumes, slides and wave machines are a brilliant way to keep children busy and tire them out!
Waterparks get booked up quickly for half-term but buy ahead and you can usually get an advance discount.
The Alton Towers Waterpark is £22 per person on the day but you can reserve your spot for £16.50 per person, saving £5.50 a ticket.

ACT UP: Fancy seeing a West End show? There are still seats for productions such as Frozen The Musical.
You can get up to 15 per cent off tickets to see Matilda The Musical — with prices starting at £24pp — booking via londontheatredirect.com by September 30.
FLY HIGH: Sign up for a family activity holiday at pgl.co.uk and you could be ziplining, kayaking or even trying your hand at archery.
You will be paired with other families, so there might be a chance to share the load while having fun.
