GET YOUR SKATES ON: Save on ice skating by booking off-peak. At London Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, pay £30 rather than £42 for a family ticket.

Visit .

SAVE: £12.

BUY IN ADVANCE: Purchase tickets ahead of your trip — enjoy the Christmas “bricktacular” events at the Birmingham and Manchester LEGOLAND Discovery centres for just £17.50 per adult ticket, compared to £21.95 on the day.

Pay £13.50 for a child, down from £16.95.

SAVE: £4.45 per adult and £3.45 per child.

SAVE: around £100 compared to buying separate tickets for events.

It includes an overnight stay in the four-star hotel, theme park tickets and entry to Magical Christmas plus Grotto Experience.

Prices start from £130 for a family of four.

SAVE: Given day park tickets usually cost £32 per adult it is great value.
