Entertainment can get expensive fast. One cinema trip turns into dinner, drinks, snacks, transport and suddenly your “cheap night out” costs more than your weekly food shop. That’s exactly why more students, apprentices and professionals are using TOTUM to cut the cost of entertainment without cutting back on the fun...

From discounted dining and cinema trips to experience days, theatre tickets and streaming offers, TOTUM gives members access to savings across some of the UK’s biggest entertainment brands. Whether you’re planning date nights, birthday treats, catch-ups with mates or solo self-care days, there are plenty of ways to make your money go further.

The best part is that TOTUM isn’t just for students. Professionals, graduates, NHS workers, apprentices and public sector staff can also unlock discounts, cashback and perks through TOTUM memberships.

Here’s your guide to some of the best entertainment savings currently available through TOTUM!

Save on Cinema Trips and Movie Nights

cheap-cinema-tickets

Cinema tickets might seem affordable at first, but add popcorn, drinks and snacks into the mix and the cost climbs quickly. TOTUM features entertainment discounts that help members enjoy cinema nights for less, alongside streaming and subscription savings.

Movie nights are one of the easiest ways to socialise on a budget, especially during exam season, after payday or when you just need a break from work. And TOTUM+ members can enjoy two 2D tickets for £14 with Cineworld!

If you go to the cinema twice a month and save an average of £3 per ticket through TOTUM discounts:

  • £3 saving x 24 trips = £72 saved per year

Add even modest streaming or digital entertainment discounts and the savings can easily rise to:

  • £90–£120+ per year

For anyone who regularly watches films or binge-watches new series, that’s a noticeable reduction in entertainment costs!

PizzaExpress: Affordable Dining Without Sacrificing the Vibes

Few things go together better than entertainment and food, and PizzaExpress remains one of the most popular dining options among TOTUM members.

Current TOTUM offers include a Pizza & Drink bundle for £12, making it ideal for pre-cinema meals, affordable catch-ups or easy weekday dinners. TOTUM members can also access family dining bundles and seasonal restaurant promotions throughout the year.

That means your simple pizza night can easily become a low-cost evening out without feeling restrictive.

Using the current Pizza & Drink £12 offer just twice a month could create major savings compared to paying standard menu prices.

Typical saving estimate:

  • Around £6–£8 saved per visit

  • Two visits per month = roughly £14 average monthly saving

  • Estimated yearly saving: £168

If you regularly eat out before cinema trips, theatre nights or after work, the numbers add up fast!

Red Letter Days: Big Experiences Without the Big Price Tag

RED LETTER DAYS WEBHERO 1920X1080 OCT21

If you’re someone who loves trying new things, TOTUM’s partnership with Virgin Experience Days is worth paying attention to.

Current offers include around 22% off selected experiences through TOTUM.

That can mean significant savings on experiences like Supercar driving, Weekend breaks, Helicopter rides, Fine dining, Spa experiences and Afternoon teas.

Theatre and Live Events with ATG

ATGTICKETS WEB 1920X1080 FEB23

Live entertainment is one of the areas where prices have climbed fastest in recent years. Theatre tickets, booking fees and premium seating costs can make one evening out surprisingly expensive.

That’s why theatre savings matter. ATG Entertainment is one of the UK’s leading theatre operators, hosting everything from West End productions and musicals to comedy tours and touring shows.

With TOTUM, you can enjoy tickets for £25 at selected shows with ATG Tickets. West End shows, touring productions and live events have become significantly more expensive in recent years.

Example savings scenario:

  • £8 average saving per theatre ticket

  • Four shows per year

  • Estimated yearly saving: £32

Add discounted dining before the show and one theatre night could realistically save £15–£20 overall.

Five Guys Perks That Make Burger Nights Better

FIVE-GUYS WEB 1920x1080 DEC24

A proper burger and fries session with friends can get pricey quickly, especially once drinks and extras are added. That’s why restaurant savings are consistently one of the most-used entertainment categories on TOTUM.

Five Guys is one of those places people love but often treat as an occasional luxury. Even smaller discount percentages make a difference at places like Five Guys where meals can easily cost £15–£20 per person.

Example:

  • £3 average saving per visit

  • Two visits per month

  • Estimated yearly saving: £72

That alone could pay for additional meals, event tickets or subscriptions elsewhere!

Thorpe Park Resort For a Fun Day Out

THORPE PARK WEBHERO 1920X1080 DEC19

TOTUM members can currently get Thorpe Park Resort tickets from £33 when booked online in advance.

Considering standard peak-day tickets can often cost around £45–£55 depending on the date, TOTUM members can make some serious savings across the year, especially during summer and event weekends.

Example yearly saving:

  • Average standard ticket price: £50

  • TOTUM ticket price from: £33

  • Saving per visit: around £17

  • Two visits per year

  • Estimated yearly saving: £34

For thrill-seekers planning group days out, Fright Nights trips or summer weekend plans, pairing THORPE PARK savings with discounted travel, dining and coffee offers through TOTUM can make the whole day significantly cheaper overall.
