BLUE Light Card has announced its first Big Blue Weekend that will see flash sales and competitions take place.

Big Blue Weekend starts on Friday, July 1 and ends on Monday, July 4 and will give emergency services, NHS, social care workers and foster carers special access to a variety of discounts across retail, travel and beauty.

It will be a chance to save on their shopping with up to 35% off and it’s just in time for the NHS’ birthday on Tuesday, July 5.

The four-day event will see discounts from popular brands such as The Body Shop and ODEON and prizes including a family ticket at Alton Towers and a Butlin’s family holiday.

“With the summer holidays fast approaching, and especially in light of the cost of living crisis, we hope that this weekend will help our members out with treats and days out that otherwise may not have been possible.
