UK summer days out: beat inflation with great deals on visits and shows

theguardian.com:

While the cost of most items seems to be soaring, there are some things that have had sizeable price cuts as a result of summer promotions.

Here we round up a few of the best time-limited deals.

Trainline is offering 33% off digital railcards for a limited period. You can get a one-year railcard for £20, reduced from £30, or a three-year one for £47, reduced from £70. Use the code SUMMER33 at the checkout to get your discount.

There are seven digital railcards available that typically offer a third off eligible train journeys.

This deal will end either when 400,000 railcards are sold or on 31 August, whichever comes first.

English Heritage is offering 25% off annual memberships bought during August. It means you pay £49.50 per adult (down from £66), or £86.25 for two adults (was £115).

Senior (65-plus) membership, which usually costs £59, is now £44.25, while young adult (18-25) or student membership, usually £53, is now £39.75.

Membership provides unlimited access to the charity’s 400-plus historic sites, including attractions such as Stonehenge, Dover Castle, Osborne on the Isle of Wight and Hadrian’s Wall, and each adult member can take up to six accompanying children under 18 for free. That means a single-parent family can enjoy unlimited days out at its sites for less than £50 a year, and a two-parent family for less than £90 a year.

This summer, some sites are offering events such as falconry and period re-enactments for no extra cost.

The cost of living crisis has made life tough for many in the arts world. Many plays and musicals were already having a tricky time because of the coronavirus pandemic, and the hot weather and rail strikes have compounded this. But it does mean there are some great ticket deals available.
