Four ways to save on indoor activities and still have fun despite the weather
WET and miserable weather can make it tricky to plan affordable days out.
However, having fun while staying dry need not break the bank.
Here are a few ways to save on indoor activities.
JUMP ON A TRAIN: If you have small children, taking a trip on the train can be an adventure in itself.
A Family & Friends Railcard costs £30 and it will save you a third on adult fares and 60 per cent on kids’ ones throughout the UK for a year.
Look for nearby towns to visit, with free museums or simply grab a coffee and cake at your destination before returning.
CATCH A MOVIE: Stay cosy inside and catch the latest new films including Gladiator II, Wicked and Moana 2.
If you often visit cinemas, you could save on ticket costs with Cineworld Unlimited’s annual membership.
We have an exclusive offer to get readers 25 per cent off. Go to cineworld.com/unlimited, choose an annual membership and use promo code THESUN25.
Members can watch as many films as they like without paying booking fees.
You will also get access to advanced screenings, and after three months, you will get 25 per cent off snacks.
Prices for membership start from £12.99 a month.
LOYALTY SAVINGS: If you collect Tesco Clubcard points, you can double the value of vouchers by using them against the chain’s reward partners.
This includes days out and entertainment which will help cut the cost of play centres and other indoor trips.
SWIMMING: Why not escape a rainy day by getting wet in a heated pool instead.
Many leisure centres offer affordable swimming sessions and some local councils offer free lessons or sessions for kids — check for details.
Nuffield Health has more than 100 pools across the UK and is currently offering three free swimming lessons when you buy 12.
