UK Weekend Breaks
Let’s face it, you’re busy, you’re done with adulting and just need to switch off. Thinking of flying out for a city break? Nope. Thank you, next. Just thinking about it leaves us feeling exhausted. Which is why here at Wowcher, we ruddy love a weekend away in the UK! When Friday afternoon hits, there’s nothing better than ditching the airport queues and heading for a buzzing city centre break or a glitzy spa sesh.
If mud masks and essential oils aren’t floating your boat, you could spend your free time exploring the great outdoors. Adventure weekend in the countryside anyone? We’re talking log cabins, wood fires, smashing it on the zip lining course and showing off some serious bushcraft skills.

Whether you’re looking for a UK short break packed with activities – perfect for keeping little ones out of mischief, or just a bit of peace and quiet and some child-free downtime – there’s a Wowcher deal for you. Get that holiday feeling the minute you choose one of our deals and holiday without the hassle of wedging your liquids into tiny bottles. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
