Universal Credit Holders Unlock Discounted Summer Fun Nationwide

As of August 3rd, 2025, thousands of families on Universal Credit are discovering a range of affordable rainy day activities across the UK. Venues such as the London Transport Museum, Coral Reef Waterworld, and the National Theatre of Scotland are offering discounted tickets to those receiving certain benefits, including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and Employment and Support Allowance.

At the London Transport Museum, Universal Credit recipients can access unlimited annual passes for just £1, compared to the usual £25 full price. Similarly, Coral Reef Waterworld in Bracknell is providing concessionary tickets, with adult tickets costing £13.20 instead of the standard £18.60 for those on Universal Credit or Personal Independence Payment.

Theatre lovers can also take advantage of the "Theatre for a Fiver" scheme, which provides £5 tickets to National Theatre of Scotland productions for individuals aged 14 to 26 and receiving low-income benefits. This represents significant savings, as regular tickets can cost up to £50.

Other attractions offering discounted entry include the Tank Museum in Dorset, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, the British Film Institute in London, and the Life Science Centre in Newcastle. With a range of indoor and outdoor activities available, families on Universal Credit can now enjoy a variety of rainy day outings without breaking the bank.
