Try the bus, not the car.

Children aged 5 to 15 can travel for free on participating local bus services throughout August, helping families save money and enjoy more days out over the summer holidays.

The offer is part of the Government’s Great British Summer Savings scheme, which aims to make family activities more affordable.

Alongside free bus travel, the scheme includes discounts on eligible children’s meals, cinema and theatre tickets, and entry to participating attractions.

Check with your local bus operator for details and visit the Summer Savings website for inspiration on where your next adventure could take you.
