Hello
Has anyone got any suggestions on 2 for 1 voucher books etc, for a uk / Ireland holiday. I currently use the entertainment book in oz, and my wife eats for free.
Places to visit are London, Scotland, and Dublin
Thanks

Bake bean melts, go straight through you though
I'm not sure how you are travelling around the UK, but you might want to look at a Britrail Pass. My wife and I went to the UK last August, we were there for a month. Before leaving here we purchased an 8 trip anytime pass. It was so easy, turn up at the station, get on the train. We went from Kent to Aberdeen,stopping off as we wanted. If you do get this pass, remember to book a seat on the Virgin trains. I you are interested in this pm me and I can give you more tips.
Thanks, will look into it. Think I'll drive at this stage, but I'll look st prices, Pretty much gunna do Aberdeen -> Inverness , Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, lakes district, Liverpool, fly to jersey , London ..
Best site for deals in UK, https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/. Check out forums for very latest deals.
If you join the National Trust in Australia, you get reciprocal free entry to properties in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and half price entry to National Trust of Scotland properties.
Historical Royal Palaces have a great value annual pass that gets you into palaces like the Tower of London and Hampton Court that you can purchase in advance and activate at your first visit. Having the pass means that you can jump the queues and also save on gate prices.
Visit Britain is the best place to purchase discounted tickets or passes to attractions in advance. Beware of passes like the London Pass that promise you 50 attractions to visit in 3 or so days, it just isn't physically possible to get value when you include travelling and queuing time.
There are heaps of free things to do in the UK too, so it's worth spending a lot of time researching on TripAdvisor.
eBay. Look up 2 for 1 vouchers for attractions you want to see.

We had a couple of great meals using these. Food can be pretty expensive in London and we got some good discounts. Can find places nearby that suit your time frame.
We also use the entertainment book a lot and bought ourselves one for a Melbourne holiday.It didn't work so well as we weren't as familiar with the locations as we are at home so didnt use it much.
In London we also used London walks a lot. Great value and very easy with no booking beforehand. http://www.walks.com/
The Australian National Trust was great and we also joined English Heritage
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/ Between the two we had discounts to most things we wanted to see. Entrance fees can be steep so it didn`t take long to get our money back.Sweet thanks
The Uk equivalent of this site https://www.hotukdeals.com/ shoud also have some stuff you can use. The Uk does not have an ëntertainmnt book" sadly, so a bit more complicated to find deals.
