Many families are feeling the rising cost of living and are having to cut back on activities and days out. A popular Welsh company is now offering free family activities to help with the cost of living.
Zip World. which has sites in north and south Wales, including being home to the fastest zipline in the world, is now offering an hour of free adventures to families who live locally. The new initiative is in response to the financial difficulties brought about by the pandemic combined with the cost-of-living crisis.
In total 15 of Zip World's activities will be on offer for free including Tower Climber (you can read our review of the activity here) at their Aberdare site, Underground Golf at their Llechwedd site (you can read more about that here) and Fforest Coaster at their Betws y Coed site. The offer of an hour's free fun will run every Saturday in September 2022.
To get the offer families will need to bring along proof of address such as a utility bill. Most LL, CH, CF, SA, NP, and LD postcodes are included in the offer. The offer is open to families with at least one child of school age and can be redeemed for use on Saturday mornings between 9am and 10am in September 2022.

Families can register for their free promotion code here and once received via email, customers are asked to call Zip World’s booking centre on 01248 601444 to book using their code. As part of the offer four people can complete two different adventures,. These must both be booked at the same time as the promotion code is redeemable once.
Zip World’s commercial director Andrew Hudson said: “All families are having to make difficult choices right now about what they can and can’t do and for some families this means experiences are taking a back seat. For those who find themselves in this situation we wanted to do something to make sure no-one has to miss out on spending quality time together, making memories, and having fun.”
