When you book via Virgin Experience Days, you can nab yourself a visit to Chessington World of Adventures for a family of four with 24% slashed off the usual price.

By booking the experience, you'll get access for a group of four people to the whole theme park – it doesn't matter how many kids or adults make up the four people (although children obviously must be accompanied by a grown up!). Plus, anyone under 90cm will also get free admittance alongside your group, which makes it great if you have younger kids tagging along too.
As well as granting you access to all 40 rides and attractions in 10 different themed lands, the Chessington World of Adventures experience will also give you admission into the zoo and the sea life centre with more than 1000 exotic animals, so you can make a whole day of it.

Other sites worth checking out for ideas include Red Letter Days and Visit Britain, which are both full of great day out ideas in locations across the country.
There are also plenty of nationwide activities and experiences to book through Virgin Experience Days, so if you don't fancy making the journey to Surrey for Chessington World of Adventures, you can always find other things to do that are more local to your area.

Real reason for hole in plane windows that's 'freaking out' passengers
Travel experts have explained the reason for the tiny holes. Have you ever been sitting on an aeroplane, excited for your holiday, only to feel a rush of panic after spotting a hole in your window? Over the years, travellers have been left confused about the purpose of the mysterious hole, with many claiming it 'freaks them out'. According to experts at Netflights, the small window hole is essential for a safe flight and is actually a very functional feature. Amanda Parker at Netflights said: "The small hole, known as the 'breathing hole' or 'bleed hole', is located in the centre panel. Although this hole may seem insignificant, its function is vital, as it lets the pressure between the passenger cabin and the centre panel equalise. "Aircraft windows are composed of three panes of acrylic glass: the outer pane, the centre pane, and the inner pane, which is the one that you can touch. "During flight, the pressure inside the cabin is maintained at a safe and comfortable level for passengers, while the pressure outside decreases dramatically as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitudes." Amanda said the hole actually regulates and balances the pressure between the outer panel and the centre panel. Without it, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft could place excessive stress on the outer panels, increasing the risk of damage or, in the worst case, structural failure.

Benefits of the small aircraft hole according to Netflights Pressure regulation and balancing When the cabin begins to decrease in pressure, the small hole allows the pressure to be distributed evenly across the window panels. This protects the window, but also ensures that the outer pane takes the change in pressure, which protects the inner pane, which is the pane in contact with the passengers. Prevention of fogging and freezing. In addition to balancing pressure, these small holes in aircraft windows serve another crucial function, which is preventing the windows from fogging or freezing. At the altitudes at which commercial aircraft fly, outside temperatures can drop dramatically. Without the breather hole, the temperature difference between the warm interior and the cold exterior could cause moisture to condense on the glass and eventually freeze! Which is not what you would expect on an airplane. The small hole allows for a slight airflow between the panels, which helps prevent moisture build-up and ensures that the windows remain clear. This is especially important for passengers who enjoy looking out the window during flight, as well as for the crew in case of emergencies requiring outward visibility.

Brits urged to learn vital beach safety tip as millions head on UK holidays
The RNLI reported a staggering 17,000 people were rescued on UK beaches last year which is why it's important to know what coloured flags indicate on UK beaches With more and more Brits opting to holiday in the UK with staycations being one of the biggest summer travel trends, it's important to be clued up on beach safety. New research from Visit Britain found that over 1 in 3 (35%) UK adults plan to choose a domestic holiday trip, compared to just 28% choosing an overseas trip this summer. But worryingly, recent RNLI figures show lifeguards responded to over 17,000 people last year on UK beaches, which could have been significantly less if beachgoers understood the flag system used to mark safe and unsafe zones. READ MORE: Beautiful European seaside city named 'Dubai dupe' but with cheap £87 flights In a effort to change this, caravan holiday provider Parkdean Resorts has detailed the differnce in flag colours and what they may mean to avoid any confusion or risking danger on the beach. One red flag The presence of a red flag on the beach signifies that the conditions are not safe for swimming. Do not enter the water as it's too dangerous to swim, surf or even paddle. Two red flags This means that the beach can't be used for any water use, so stay clear of the sea as there is a threat. Orange flag The presence of an orange windsock signifies strong wind conditions, so beachgoers should be cautious when swimming. Avoid using any inflatables as they could be blown out to sea. Red and yellow flag A red and yellow flag at the beach signifies that lifeguards are patrolling the area. The area between the flags is the safest area to swim, paddle and use water inflatables. Black and white flag A black and white chequered flag signifies that the area is designated for water sports, surfing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Swimmers should avoid this area and look for red and yellow flags instead. Blue flag Blue flags aren't a safety flag colour but instead they signify excellent beach quality, including water cleanliness, safety provisions and environmental management. Britain has 76 blue flag beaches and wales has 21 - there are plenty of safe options for holidaymakers. Some of these include: Trevone Bay, Cornwall - a picturesque sandy cove near Padstow. Whitley Bay, North Tyneside - stretching along the North East coast, it offers stunning views of St Mary's Lighthouse and features a wide promenade, clean waters, and family-friendly facilities Sea Palling Beach, Norfolk - located near Great Yarmouth, it's perfect for paddling, sunbathing and beachcombing Trecco Bay, Wales - this long sandy beach in Porthcawl is ideal for families with safe, clean waters and seasonal lifeguards Westward Ho!, Devon - famous for its expansive sands and excellent surfing conditions.
