Sandcastle Discount
As a resident in a FY1 - 8 postcode, you can apply for a local residents discount of 50% from the Sandcastle WaterPark admissions price. If you are not sure if your child would manage, make a note to check the summer programme as the Water Park have confirmed they will host an exclusive session for us during the summer holidays. It will be volunteer supported and a great way to try it out. This session will not have loud music or tannoy announcements. It was voted the most popular session, by a large margin, from last summers programme. If your child likes to see pictures of things to 'visualise' it before going, look at the website for the pictures from last year's visit:- For details of the local discount card go to:- If you have any local knowledge or tips that may be useful to other parents, (i.e. a hairdresser that can cut hair in the time it takes to eat a packet of maltesers) please pass them along so that we can share them on this page.Icher Complementary Healthcare
