ADVENTURE company Zip World is offering an hour of free adventures to families at their North Wales adventure parks every Saturday during the month of September.

The new initiative is in response to the financial difficulties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the cost-of-living crisis.

Families who feel they need help can claim free tickets for any of the 15 Zip World adventures on offer.

Zip World’s commercial director Andrew Hudson said: “All families are having to make difficult choices right now about what they can and can’t do.

“And for some families, this means experiences are taking a back seat.

“For those who find themselves in this situation, we wanted to do something to make sure no one has to miss out on spending quality time together, making memories and having fun.”
