Alton Towers is one of the UK’s premier tourist attractions and is great fun for all ages. From families and couples to young thrill-seekers, there really is something for everyone.
“Two for one entry to Alton Towers theme park is an excellent deal and offers great value for money, particularly during the summer months. This is a fantastic opportunity for Symington’s, particularly Mug Shot, and we expect the brand to perform very well throughout the promotion.”
