Because wouldn’t you rather be on a sun lounger?
We don’t think we need to sell you on the idea of a ladies day. Similar to their evening counterparts, there are discounts and freebies on offer, but here, it’s all about sunshine and relaxing poolside.
Having already discussed our current favourites on the ladies night scene, we thought it made sense to turn our attention to the day.
