Great British Summer Savings 2026
Families can enjoy discounted attractions and meals out this summer, with the launch of the Great British Summer Savings scheme to help people enjoy day out for less.
Published: 10 July 2026
What is it all about?
From 25 June to 1 September, the Great British Summer Savings scheme (GBSS) allows participating businesses to reduce the costs of children’s meals in restaurants, children’s tickets for theatres, concerts and cinemas, as well as tickets for everyone for attractions like soft play, adventure centres, and theme parks. VAT will be slashed on eligible activities to reduce the cost of days out for families over the summer holidays.
In addition, children aged five to 15 in England will be able to travel free on local bus services throughout August – making it easier and more affordable for people to get out and about.
