Great British Summer Savings for families
10 July 2026
Last month the Chancellor announced the Great British Summer Savings scheme to help families this holiday.
From 25 June to 1 September 2026, the Government is temporarily cutting VAT from 20% to 5% on children’s meals in restaurants, children and family tickets to cinemas, theatres, concerts and exhibitions, and admission to a wide range of attractions. This is combined with free bus travel during August for children aged 5 to 15 in England.
As part of this campaign, they have launched an attraction finder website which allows families to type in their postcode and find participating venues near them to make the most of summer savings. To use the attraction finder and to find out mre, please visit https://summersavings.gov.uk.
