Families flocked to
Clacton Pier to make the most of its best ever value February half term offer.
The attraction’s special
half price deal was well-received – so much so that it is being extended for a
further weekend.
Feedback on the nine-day frenzy
was extremely positive and it went down well with visitors and residents alike.
Pier general manager
Harry Peek said he was delighted with the uptake.
“It can be a quiet half
term coming so early in the year but this time we did very steady business over
the entire period, despite the weather not being that great,” he said.
“We had the special
February Frenzy offer to bring in the crowds and it was very successful. In
fact, we have decided to run it again for this weekend for anyone or couldn’t
make it over half term – or for those who want to take advantage again!”
The band for February Frenzy costs £12.50 instead of £24.99 and includes
unlimited rides, 18 holes of adventure golf, one go on the wheel, five video
game credits, and 50 arcade prize tickets. It will be available on both
Saturday and Sunday (March 2 and 3).
Pier bosses have decided
to mark World Book Day on Thursday March 7.
The first 100 children to
arrive in costume as customers in Discovery Bay soft play will receive a free
book.
Mother’s Day will also be
celebrated on Sunday March 10 when mums will get a free band when a Big Day Out
Band is bought for a child. This will also apply to those children using their
annual rides pass.
To ensure no one misses
out this will also include grandmas, aunts, and guardians over 18.
“Basically with each band
or annual pass for a child, one adult band will be provided at our ticket box
to try to be totally inclusive,” added Mr Peek.
