Just booked Longleat for December as we love this site however, has anyone else noticed that the prices rise every weekend and school holidays ? 

It has always been that prices go up in the school holidays, but never before have we noticed a rise over weekends and consider this very unfair.  This makes it a two tier club whereby people that have children and can only go at weekends and school holidays are penalised and discouraged from joining the club.

    Are you sure? I've just looked at a few of my bookings and they are constant over May and over September? (apart from BH in May). Perhaps you are looking at sites with midweek discount? This makes the price midweek lower

    Post edit, yes Longleat has a MWD

    VandJ it's not so much the price has gone up at the weekend but that it has been reduced in the week. At a lot of the less popular sites the club uses this to try and increase capacity midweek. Weekend prices are on a par with other similar sites that do not have the discount.

    Yes and the kids for a £1 on certain sites also is applied over weekends and peak periods too.

    The price reduction for MWD never used to be shown in the pitch fee tables so is more noticeable now.
