Govt announces free buses for kids all August & VAT slashed on family days out

Just saw the announcement. For August, every child aged 5-15 in England travels free on local buses. No registration faff, no passes to sort out, they just get on.

Alongside it, VAT on family attractions drops from 20% to 5% between 25 June and 1 September. So zoos, museums, soft play, theme parks, cinemas, and kids' meals out are all getting cheaper.

Anyone else got plans they're now reconsidering? Always interested in what families are doing for cheap days out on the bus, too.
