'It was a great way to enjoy my birthday'
THOUSANDS of our readers have taken advantage of our two free tickets offer with Superdays.
This deal has proved a huge hit with families up and down the country, who have had an unforgettable time at the UK’s top attractions.
Matthew Sabin, from Birmingham, celebrated his birthday at Alton Towers Resort with his HR advisor fiancée Steph Coffey, 30, thanks to Sun Superdays.
The 29-year-old plumber said: “Steph and I loved Alton Towers. We’re getting married in May this year so any way we can save money is helpful.
“The more affordable, the better – and Sun Superdays makes it so much easier.
“We were living with my parents at the time of our trip to Alton Towers, so it was great to go there and give them – and us – a bit of a break. I had a brilliant time. The real highlight was that there were no queues. When you visit normally, you only get to go on a handful of rides because of all the queueing, but when Steph and I went we had the pick of the park.
“It was great, we got to go on every ride at least twice, it was so much fun. I liked Nemesis, but Oblivion was too big for me. I let Steph brave that one, instead – I offered to hold the bags!
“Overall it was a great way to celebrate my birthday. Steph and I try to do the Superdays whenever we’re free.
“We usually stay in the Splash hotel and get discounted tickets the next day too. It’s a really affordable option for having such a fun weekend away, plus you get half an hour in the park before it opens.
“We’ll definitely be collecting more Sun Superdays codes again. It’s a great excuse to take some time off and enjoy some quality time together.”
Fancy a free fiver?
YOU can get FREE cash with super Sun Savers just for buying your favourite paper.
