Fun days out

WHAT’S BETTER THAN A GREAT DAY OUT? SAVING £25 ON A VISIT TO SOME OF THE UK’S BEST ATTRACTIONS USING YOUR LOTTO TICKET, THAT’S WHAT!

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.

National Lottery players have supported 94 of the top 100 most visited tourist attractions in the UK**, from castles to wildlife parks, botanical gardens to museums and plenty of other fun stuff.

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

NOTTINGHAM CASTLE Now reopened after a £30m, three-year revamp. After you have explored the castle, follow the tunnel to Robin Hood Adventures and meet a digital storytelling Robin, set in a forest clearing. Kids will love the outdoor family trails in the grounds, especially the Halloween Spooktacular.
