Following the UK Government’s cut to VAT on visitor attractions, Camera Obscura & World of Illusions on Castlehill will cut its admission prices by 12.5% over the summer.
The attraction owners say they are one of the first to make discounted tickets available – both for people who have already booked in the form of a refund, and people who are yet to book. A family of four will save more than £10.
The Great British Summer Savings Initiative was announced last week by Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, as a way of reducing the cost of days out for families as well as supporting businesses.
Andrew Johnson, General Manager of Camera Obscura, said: “The summer holidays are a time for making memories together, and we’re pleased to support an initiative that encourages people to get out, explore and experience some of the fantastic attractions available across the UK.
“We know families are continuing to think carefully about the cost of days out, particularly during the long summer holidays, which is why we look forward to welcoming visitors from near and far to enjoy our interactive exhibits, rooftop views and unique experiences throughout the season.”
The announcement follows a strong start to the summer for Camera Obscura, which was recently named one of the UK’s top three attractions by Which? and awarded Recommended Provider status. The consumer champion praised the attraction’s interactive experiences, hands-on exhibits and family-friendly appeal, reinforcing its reputation as one of Scotland’s leading visitor attractions.
