In an age where holiday costs seem to spiral ever upward, Great Yarmouth stands out as a destination where you can have a genuinely wonderful time without spending a fortune. Here's how to enjoy a fantastic Great Yarmouth holiday for under affordable prices per person per day.

Accommodation: From budget-friendly prices Per Person Per Night

St George Hotel offers double rooms at great rates, working out at only budget-friendly prices per person sharing. That includes a comfortable en-suite room with flat-screen TV, free WiFi, microwave, mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Plus free parking, which alone saves £8-15 per day. At these prices, you'd struggle to find a campsite for less.

Free Attractions: £0

Great Yarmouth has more free entertainment than almost any other seaside resort in England. The beach is free and provides hours of fun. Pleasure Beach has free entry with affordable pay-per-ride pricing. Walking the seafront, exploring the historic town centre, browsing the market and simply soaking up the seaside atmosphere all cost nothing.

Budget Eating: From £10-15 Per Day

With a microwave and fridge in your hotel room, you can prepare breakfast and snacks yourself, saving significantly on restaurant prices. A quick trip to a local supermarket for cereal, milk, bread and sandwich fillings sets you up for breakfast and lunch. Then splash out on fish and chips or a pub meal for dinner, your main eating-out expense of the day.

A portion of fish and chips costs around £7-10 from most seafront chippies. A pub meal with a drink typically runs £12-18. Market stalls sell cheap and tasty food options for lunch.

Affordable Activities: £5-15

Museum entry is typically £5-10 per person. A few Pleasure Beach rides cost £5-10. Bowling is around £5-8 per game. Arcade amusements can be enjoyed for a few pounds. Many activities can be enjoyed for free or very little cost.
