Family theme park Gulliver's World is letting grandparents go free for an entire weekend.

And it's one of the best offers run by the theme park, as two grandparents can go free with just one paying child.
That means a family of three can go all day for just £23.
And if you have a little one to tag along too, then children under 90cm get in for free too.

Both Matlock and Warrington are open from 10.30am until 5pm on the Saturday and Sunday.
