Over the summer holidays you can keep your kids entertained with great new movies saving yourself a quick bit of cash in the process.
We are a family of four and to be honest going to the cinema can cost us over £50 depending on how much we spend on drinks and sweets too. So, I am sure you will have the same issues and may well benefit from the movie promotion to make fun days out with the kids a little less costly.
You can often see that local cinema’s have special offers over the school holidays on certain movies but it’s not often you find a film that is a new release. The holidays are generally packed with the latest movie releases and often you can find yourself wanting to see more than one film with the family, but that can get expensive.
