    Great British Summer Savings: The family attractions and children’s meals set to be cheaper

    Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the "Great British Summer Savings" scheme back in May, introducing a temporary VAT cut on various family activities.

    Effective from 25 June until 1 September, the scheme aims to alleviate cost of living pressures for families across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

    Families will benefit from reduced prices at attractions like Alton Towers and Legoland, as well as cheaper cinema tickets at chains such as Odeon.

    Participating restaurants such as McDonald's, Nando's and Wetherspoons will also offer lower prices on children's meals.

    The scheme, estimated to cost £300 million, also includes free bus travel for children aged five to 15 in England during the August school holidays.
