Summer is here and from today Echo readers are being offered the chance to enjoy big attractions at small prices.

The new Summer Days Out promotion aims to help readers save cash on trips to historic sites, theme parks and zoos in both Lincolnshire and beyond.

Tokens will appear in the Echo every day until August 22 which offer two-for-one deals, kids go free places and other discounts when attached to the appropriate attraction coupons.

The cost-cutting deal starts today with the first set of tokens offering a two-for-one deal at Belvoir Castle plus kids go free discounts at Twycross Zoo, Blackpool Louis Tussauds and Blackpool Tower and Circus. Three-for-two wristbands at Blackpool Pleasure Beach are also included in today's promotion.

The discounts keep coming tomorrow with kids go free places available at Skegness Butlins and two-for-one discounts at Skegness Pier and the Parrot Sanctuary in Skegness.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday there will be a chance to collect three tokens that will give unlimited entry into four top Merlin attractions for just £39.

The pass will allow one person to visit Alton Towers, Sea Life, Warwick Castle and York Dungeon as many times as they like until October 16, 2009.

A different amount of tokens will be required to secure discounts at each attraction and full details will be printed in the Echo when the offers are available.

Bonus tokens will also appear this Wednesday and Saturday which can be used for any offer.
