Great British Summer Savings

Children's Ticket and Meal Prices This Summer!

 
We're participating with the Government's Great Bristish Summer Savings sheme! 
 
Between 25th June and 1st September 2026 (inclusive), children's tickets and meals are subject to a temporary VAT cut from 20% to 5%, and we're passing the saving on to you!
 

What's the deal?

All tickets that are eligible for the temporary reduction will have the discount automatically applied at the time you book. 

What IS included? 

  • Children's tickets for films between 25th June and 1st September (inclusive).
  • Children's tickets for Live Theatre between 25th June and 1st September (inclusive).
  • Children's meals from our children's menus in our restaurants, eaten on-site.
  • Selected combos at the kiosk where children are the intended consumer.
What is NOT included? 
  • Bookings for performances before or after the specified dates; the discount is applied based on when the performance is happening, not when the ticket is purchased.
  • Standard admission tickets where it isn't specified whether the ticket holder is a child or an adult; no discount is applicable.
  • Booking fees, flexible booking charges, seat uplift charges and other ticket-associated fees, which are not subject to any VAT reduction.
  • A meal purchased for a child that isn't specifically listed as a children's meal.
  • Children's Movie Magic Card membership fees.

Frequently asked questions

We'll do our best to answer any FAQs here, but if you have a specific question please contact your cinema or email action@merlincinemas.co.uk

Do I get a discount as an adult watching a children's film?
No, sorry – this scheme applies to children only, not accompanying adults.

Will my child's Movie Magic Card discount still apply?
Yes, their discount isn't affected. 

I'm renewing my child's Movie Magic Card, will their annual charge be discounted?
No, sorry – membership fees aren't covered by this scheme; it applies only to qualifying children's tickets and meals.

My child wants to buy pick and mix, will they get a discount?
No, sorry – pick and mix isn't part of our qualifying children's meal combos, so it isn't included in this scheme.

We have a party booking, will we get a discount?
The children's tickets and meals within your party booking will benefit from the discount; any other elements of the package (such as adult food or extras) will remain at the standard rate.
