Christmas break: Entertain the kids for less with discounted days out

Christmas is magical, isn’t it? Twinkly lights, mince pies, and the sound of kids asking, “Can we go somewhere fun?” every five minutes. Trouble is, festive fun can cost an arm and a leg—and we’d rather keep both, thank you very much.

So, instead of remortgaging the house for a day out, we’ve rounded up cracking PlusSave deals to keep the little ones happy. Think big laughs, big savings, and memories that don’t come with a side of debt. Because Christmas should be about joy, not juggling credit cards.

Save 5% on Merlin Attractions

Looking for a day out the kids won’t forget? Merlin Entertainment has you covered with some of the UK’s biggest attractions—Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures, SEA LIFE centres, and even the spooky York and Edinburgh Dungeons.

Here’s the best bit: with PlusSave, you get 5% off a Merlin gift card. So, if you buy a £100 gift card, you only pay £95. That’s a fiver back in your pocket.

Just make sure you check the terms and conditions. You might need to pre-book your tickets online rather than rock up on the day.

Save 10% on your cinema trip

Lights, camera, savings! Whether it’s the latest blockbuster or a festive classic, nothing beats the magic of the cinema at Christmas. And with PlusSave, you can make that magic cost a little less.

Grab a Cineworld gift card with 10% off and use it on tickets, snacks, drinks, and even merch. So whether you’re treating the kids to an animated adventure or sneaking off for a rom-com (we won’t tell), you’ll save on the whole experience.

Get 20% Off Virgin Experience Days

Not sure what to pick? No bother—load up a Virgin Experience Days gift card and use it like cash. With PlusSave, you’ll get 20% off the gift card, and it works on loads of experiences across the UK.

We’re talking wildlife adventures, junior driving experiences, chocolate-making classes, and even theatre shows. Perfect for gifting or treating the family to something a bit special.

So, whether you fancy roaring engines, roaring lions, or just roaring with laughter, you’ll save while making memories with the whole family.
