Mellors Group Press Release:
Mellors Group Cuts Summer Ticket Prices at Fantasy Island and Lightwater Valley
Families planning a summer day out will benefit from lower ticket prices at both Fantasy Island and Lightwater Valley after Mellors Group announced it will pass the Government's temporary VAT reduction directly on to guests.
From 25th June until 1st September, ticket prices at both attractions will be reduced to reflect the lower VAT rate, helping families enjoy more affordable days out during the summer holidays.
Guests don't need to wait for the new prices to go live. Anyone booking a Fantasy Island wristband before the updated pricing is implemented will receive the difference back as on-site credit to use during their visit. As an added bonus, Fantasy Island will also match that amount with additional arcade credit, giving visitors even more value on the day.
James Mellors, Managing Director of Mellors Group, said:
"We know many families are still feeling the impact of rising household costs, and we understand that days out can often be one of the first things people cut back on when money is tight.
"Creating memories together shouldn't have to be a luxury, which is why we've taken the decision to pass these savings directly on to our guests. We want families to enjoy a fantastic day out without worrying as much about the cost.
"This summer is shaping up to be one of our biggest yet across both parks, and we're committed to offering great value alongside great experiences."
The reduction follows the Government's announcement of a temporary VAT decrease from 20% to 5% for eligible visitor attractions between 25th June and 1st September.
Fantasy Island Set for a Huge Summer
Fantasy Island is gearing up for a packed summer of events, entertainment and thrills on the Lincolnshire coast.
