Discounts for local residents

Posted on Sunday, 18 April 2010 08:15AM by
Locals in the Peak District are being offered cut price entrance to some of the area’s most popular attractions in a bid to support local businesses and boost the economy.
Historic houses, theme parks and many other tourist attractions are offering discounts for local tourists during the On Your Doorstep campaign which runs from April 20 to 30.
More than 50 attractions, organisations and restaurants – from Buxton in the north to Swadlincote in the south and Creswell Crags in the east to Rudyard in the west – are supporting the recession-busting campaign by Visit Peak District & Derbyshire, the area's official tourist board.
"When you live in such a beautiful area as ours, it's easy to overlook the fantastic variety of fascinating things to see and do right under your nose," said David Thornton, the tourist board's Head of Marketing and Deputy Chief Executive.
"Our On Your Doorstep campaign is a wonderful opportunity for local people to find out – or remind themselves – of the brilliant range of things to see and do here.
"Tourists travel from all over the country and around the world to visit and appreciate our beautiful and unique area – but we're also keen to encourage local residents to enjoy the wide variety of attractions and activities it has to offer at unbeatable prices."
Vouchers are available throughout the 11-day promotion, which is being run in partnership with Derbyshire County Council, at attractions ranging from Conkers to Crich Tramway Village and Treak Cliff Cavern to the Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife and Falconry Centre. Special Golden Tickets are needed for mega offers on certain days, such as:

Vouchers and Golden Tickets can be downloaded from there, and also from Derbyshire County Council's website www.derbyshire.gov.uk/goldenticket, or from the four-page supplement in any of the Derbyshire Times Group's weekly newspapers published this week. The supplement is also available in libraries across Derbyshire, and Golden Tickets can be found on the back of the current issue of Derbyshire County Council's newspaper, Derbyshire First.
Offers are targeted at people who live in, or close to, the Peak District & Derbyshire. Applicants may be asked for additional proof of their address when visiting an attraction, so should take a utility bill, driving licence or similar document to avoid disappointment. Each offer has its own terms and conditions.
Some vouchers are only valid on specific days and certain purchasing options may apply.
