At the start of a new year – and with its dark days and cold weather – it can be a boost to start planning holidays .

From long haul vacations to day trips, just the thought of getting away can lift spirits.

And this is where our Read & Save scheme can help.

Subscribers to the Times & Star can make substantial savings with top brands such as Thomas Cook and Hotel Voucher Shop.

They can also give themselves an extra boost with trips to restaurants such as Bella Italia or shopping expeditions to M&S, New Look and Debenhams, taking in refreshments at Costa Coffee and Caffe Nero, which are all part of the scheme.


A subscription to this newspaper also means you can make savings on your utility bills, insurance, broadband bills, mobile costs and motoring costs.

To reap the benefits of this scheme and open the doors to a new shopping experience, sign up today to receive the Times & Star.

For a limited time we are offering a six-month subscription at a special reduced price of £19.99 – the equivalent of 77p each week.

All subscribers will receive a welcome pack, with full details of how to get started.
