We have some great new offers added to UniDiscounts, savings on flowers for Mother’s Day and the UniMarket is back!

Fitness and outdoors

We have a great offer to share to you from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).  They are offering reduced price tickets for their Chatsworth (6-10 June) and Tatton Park (18-22 July) Flower Shows if you book before 15 April. UniFit is looking to start a 6 week fat loss fix challenge in March.  The sessions are on-campus and during lunchtimes. The Life Centre North is the largest yoga and meditation studio in Greater Manchester. You can save 15% off their 5, 10 and 20 class passes.

Home Services

You can save up to 55% with a new discount on an RAC Breakdown Package with a scheme from Vehicle Benefits.

Health

You can access the Eyecareplan Everyone Voucher for only £49. This entitles you to a sight test and glasses – this includes a choice of over 4000 personalised frames, or a choice from the Boots £50 to £75 frame range.  This is via a partnership between Boots and ASE Eyecare.

Entertainment and Leisure 

The season at Drayton Manor kicks off on the 28 March and you can save up to 53% on tickets via the discount page. You can also save up to 46% on Merlin attractions.  Both are massive savings for families in particular!
