SEA LIFE Midweek Madness: How to Save on a Summer Trip to Hunstanton, Weymouth or Great Yarmouth

If your family holiday plans this summer involve a trip to the coast, there’s a good chance Hunstanton, Weymouth or Great Yarmouth is on your list. All three are firm favourites with Northamptonshire families, whether it’s a day trip to Norfolk or a week away in Dorset, and all three happen to have a SEA LIFE Centre right on the doorstep. So when I spotted that SEA LIFE is running a Midweek Madness sale across all three locations this July, it felt worth flagging for anyone already planning a visit.

The offer runs from 1st to 30th July 2026, giving you a discount on adult tickets when you visit on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. If you’re heading to the coast midweek anyway, it’s an easy way to make the day out a little cheaper, and midweek visits tend to mean smaller crowds too, which is always a bonus with little ones in tow.

SEA LIFE Hunstanton

Hunstanton is a popular choice for a Norfolk day trip or weekend away, and its SEA LIFE Centre is well known for its Seal Rescue Centre. During the Midweek Madness sale, you can save £7 per adult ticket when you visit on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 1st and 30th July 2026. Prices start from £13 per adult and £12 per child.

SEA LIFE Weymouth

Weymouth is another regular on the Northants family holiday list, and its SEA LIFE Centre is home to Europe’s only Fairy Penguin colony, alongside a Pirate Adventure Mini Golf and splash zone. The Midweek Madness sale offers a saving of over £6 per adult ticket for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday visits between 1st and 30th July 2026. Prices start from £15.50 per adult and £13.50 per child.

SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth is a classic seaside destination for a lot of us, and the SEA LIFE Centre there has plenty to explore, including sharks, penguins and rainforest species. The Midweek Madness sale gives you £7 off per adult ticket when you visit on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 1st and 30th July 2026. Prices start from £13 per adult and £12 per child.

What You Need to Know Before You Book

• The offer applies to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday visits only, between 1st and 30th July 2026
• All tickets must be pre-booked online in advance and are subject to availability
• Entry is valid for a selected 10-minute time slot, so try to arrive on time
• Under 2s go free but still need a pre-booked ticket
• Discount levels may vary depending on the date and time you choose, so it’s worth comparing a few slots before booking
• The offer cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion

As with any offer like this, availability is limited and could be withdrawn at any time, so if you’ve got your heart set on a particular date, I’d book sooner rather than later.

If you’re planning your summer around days out and want to keep track of what else is on offer across Northamptonshire in the meantime, my weekly what’s on newsletter is a good way to stay in the loop between now and the school holidays.

Wherever your summer trip takes you, I hope it’s a good one. If you do visit one of these SEA LIFE Centres during the Midweek Madness sale, I’d love to hear how you got on.
