Whether you're heading on a Great British 'staycation' or staying put this summer, there's so much to see, do and eat in Britain. Take a look at our top 10 must-dos with your Gourmet Society membership this Summer 2015!

1. Catch a summer blockbuster
Okay, so British summertime isn't always summery, and quite often we need some rainy day plans to fall back on! Thankfully, Gourmet Society has those damp afternoons covered with up to 40% off tickets at Odeon, Showcase, Cineworld and Empire cinemas. Kids will giggle themselves silly at Minions; whilst grown adults will find themselves weeping at Pixar's latest tearjerker, Inside Out.

2. Try out a new cuisine
Did you know that Gourmet Society members have over 20 cuisine types to choose from? We bet you never knew that there was authentic Russian, Korean and African food available so close to home. So whether it's a first-time vindaloo, trying some Thai or going meat-free at a veggie restaurant, we strongly recommend sampling some new flavours with your GS card this summer!

3. Support a local restaurant
As well as family-favourite chains, Gourmet Society offers discounts at some of the UK's best independent venues. Perhaps you could try out that curious Nepalese restaurant around the corner, or the quaint countryside pub you always drive past. With our handy mobile app, you can now track down restaurants you never even knew existed - and who knows, you may just discover your new favourite this summer!

4. Escape for a night or two!
Fancy embracing your impulsive side? Gourmet Society can help with that! Whether you fancy escaping the stresses of the office or treating your other half to a romantic city break, our members can make the most of up to 75% off hotel stays across the UK with Hotel Exclusives. We can offer everything from boutique B&Bs to sophisticated hotels and chilled out spa breaks nationwide. Don't forget to make the most of your restaurant discounts too while you're there!

5. Treat the family to a day out at one of the UK's top attractions
Roll up, roll up, all you thrillseekers! With up to 40% off days out at some of our favourite attractions, there's every excuse to chase that adrenaline. This includes passes for Alton Towers Resort, THORPE PARK Resort, Chessington World of Adventures, LEGOLAND©, and many more! Rollercoaster not quite your bag? Perhaps a more relaxing day of history at Warwick Castle or the London Dungeon will suit. But do watch out for Guy Fawkes and his pesky barrel of gunpowder...

6. Go all 'Bake Off' and enjoy a 2 for 1 afternoon tea
The Great British Bake Off is now a firm feature of British summertime, and we're getting jolly well sick of watching Paul and Mary eat all the cake! With our exclusive 2 for 1 offers, Gourmet Society members can now judge for themselves at over 100 afternoon tea venues across the UK. From delicate cucumber sandwiches to exquisitely iced fancies and cream laden scones, it's always time for tea with your GS membership!

7. Make like a VIP at a luxury airport lounge
Lucky enough to be flying out to foreign shores this summer? Rid yourself of those budget airline blues by treating yourself to some VIP luxury before you jet off! Gourmet Society members can get up to 50% off at Airport Lounges across the world. Thanks to this amazing offer, you can begin your journey in style with complimentary food and drinks, free WiFi and entertainment for all the family... for just £15 per person.

8. Eat fish and chips by the sea
No explanation required for this thoroughly British tradition. Revisit memories of childhood holidays by the sea - minus the anoraks! We have a great range of seafood restaurants in some of the UK's favourite seaside destinations, including Blackpool, Brighton and Plymouth. With fantastic weekend availability and up to 50% off meals, our hand-picked restaurants are suitable for the whole family - perfect for creating some new summertime memories!

9. Dine al fresco
No holidays booked? No worries! Many of our favourite restaurant brands offer the opportunity to dine outdoors and soak up some sun like a true European - minus those premium holiday prices! The likes of Café Rouge, Prezzo, Bella Italia, La Tasca and Strada offer delightful summer menus, and most have pleasant al fresco dining areas where you can sit back and watch the world go by.

10. Take a stroll with a shark
Who knew you could walk with sharks in Manchester? The all new Sea Trek facility at the Manchester SEA LIFE Centre is the only one in Europe where amateur divers can come nose to fin with some of the ocean's most terrifying creatures; and your GS membership gets you a fantastic 25% discount on this once in a lifetime experience! Prefer to stay on the other side of the fish tank? There are over 10 SEA LIFE Centres and Sanctuaries across the UK where you and your families can get up to 40% off entry - from the shores of Loch Lomond to the piers of Brighton.
