and family tickets for cinemas, shows, exhibitions and outdoor venues and activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Attractions run by local authorities are already exempt from VAT so are not affected by the scheme. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Susanna Streeter, a financial expert from Bristol-based Wealth Club, said the summer of savings should help lighten the financial burden for families during the school holidays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Inflation may have cooled, but household budgets are still running hot after years of rising prices, so a temporary VAT cut on children&#8217;s meals, entertainment and attractions should help take some of the sting out of the summer holidays,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She added that the savings have arrived just when they are needed most, given than children&#8217;s charity Coram estimates holiday costs now cost \u00a3191 per child per week<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span> &#8211;  or \u00a31,145 for the six-week summer holiday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For parents who are able to take annual leave, Streeter said a &#8220;DIY approach&#8221; &#8211;
