The Sun Superdays starts today 🎢
FREE ATTRACTION TICKETS.

This month tickets are for ALTON TOWERS (which includes CBeebies world!)

This isn’t an ad, I am just sharing a way to get some free or reduced priced theme park tickets for those interested ❤️

How it works:

1️⃣ From today start collecting the codes in the papers. You will need nine over the next 9 days. Great if you know someone who buys the paper anyway.

OR

Sign up for the digital paper which is £6.99 for the month (make sure you cancel after) this will give you access to book tickets on the 25th March and mean you don’t have to faff with buying newspapers daily.

2️⃣ Be there early on the 2nd to get the free tickets / best dates. You can get two mid week tickets for completely FREE. Weekend tickets are £20, see shared image below. (2 tickets allowed per household)

3️⃣ We will need 3 tickets (remember it is limited to 2) so we plan to use our Tesco points to purchase the extra ticket.

A nice way to enjoy a budget friendly day out this year.

Are you planning to go? 🎢❤️

As the first raffle sold out in rapid speed, we’ve done another with double the tickets to allow more people to play! The first prize is both the anode cabin suitcase plus the under seat 20L bag!

It’s just 50p for a ticket and we have three prizes to increase your chances of winning something 😄🎟

Hoping we can draw this one on our live launch event next Wednesday 23rd August when we will be showing you our brand new website that will help you find some great value trips! (On Instagram live)

The last one sold out quick so get in there soon if you want to play 🙌🏻

Hey guys 👋🏼

Due to the popularity of our first raffle (selling out in one day) 🤯 we’re now back for round two!

We’ve upped the ticket allocation to 1000 to give more people a chance to enter, but have also upped the prizes too!

Tickets are still only 50p, so someone will be walking away with a nice bargain after this one!

Good luck everyone 🤞🏼

Our First Raffall!

Tickets are capped at 500 and are only 50p each to keep the odds of winning high 🎉 The raffall will end once all tickets are sold.

We wanted the first one to be cheap and fun for everyone to be able to get involved. I have recently got myself the first prize suitcase and it’s honestly amazing! You get to pick the colour you want if you win.

Future raffalls will include holidays ✈️😃

Hey Friends! 😃

We have just launched our first ever raffall, and you can enter for just 50p per ticket to win one of three prizes. (We wanted to make the first one free for you all, but 50p is the minimum the site allows us to set😅)

1st place - Cabin max Anode 40L cabin suitcase (honestly this case is amazing!)

2nd place - Manhattan 20L backpack (doesn’t cost anything to take on a budget airline!)

3rd place - Universal travel adaptor (because everyone needs one!)

We have capped the tickets at 500 so the odds stay high for those who enter. £2 gets you 4 tickets and a 1 in 42 chance of winning!

We will be having a live launch event for our new website on the 23rd August at 7pm on Instagram live. We will be giving away lots of free memberships and some other goodies too! Get it in your diary 🗓😄

Looking forward to hosting many more of these in the coming months 🙌🏻✈️
