Hi there {{ first name | Cheapskater }},

Got young people in your life and looking for family-friendly events over the long weekend and May half term? Sign up to our (also free) spin-off newsletter Cheapskate Kids here – you’ll be just in time to receive this week’s email.
Before you go, a quick question:
What are your bank holiday plans?
Thanks for being a reader and have a lovely few days,
