Fun days out

WHETHER you’re eight or 80, exploring new places rekindles the adventurer inside us all.

And in the UK we’re spoiled for choice, with a choice of incredible attractions to fire the imagination.

Thrill seekers of all ages will find adrenaline-filled rides at Zip World, Thorpe Park and Legoland (all of which are running Halloween-themed events during October).

Those who prefer a more relaxing experience can enjoy autumn’s spectacular show of colours at venues like Kew Gardens, Cardiff Castle or the recently opened RHS Garden Bridgewater – a major horticultural project near Salford.

History fans will adore a trip to the gothic ruins at Whitby Abbey, Warwick or Stirling Castle, while animal lovers can meet Ruby the red panda, born in July at Edinburgh Zoo, or three adorable tiger cubs at Highland Wildlife Park.

And you can use a Lotto ticket purchased on or after October 1, 2021 to claim a £25 voucher* to redeem when booking any one of hundreds of attractions.

Not only will you enjoy a discounted day trip, you can feel proud that you’ve helped fund many of the tourist and heritage sites that make the UK unique. By playing The National Lottery, you raise £30million for good causes every week.

Every adventure starts with a finger on a map. So where will yours land?
