Savvy kids who want to give their dads a Father's Day present they'll get something out of too should head down to the London Dungeon on Sunday, June 21. Not only do Dads go half price with a full paying child* (4-15 year olds), the resident cast of rogues and rascals will be on a mission to ensure they get extra special Dungeons-style attention.

Unfortunately for Dad that means being put on trial by Judge Wendy Farqhuar in his mad-cap 17th century courtroom, taking a seat in the mediaeval torturer's chair and 'volunteering' to assist the excitable Plague Doctor's assistant demonstrate cures for the Black Death. The perfect Father's Day option for any child wanting to repay a parent for showing them up in front of their mates, 'Dad dancing' in public places or generally just being annoying – and at just £33.93 for entry for two it's great value too.

PLUS unlike many other family outings, the London Dungeon is guaranteed to please kids AND adults alike as 1000 years of London's murky past is brought to life in 18 shows, featuring edge of the seat surprises and two thrilling rides. So ditch the boring cards, cardigans or carvery meal and put Dad in the Dungeon this Father's Day. He might just enjoy it!  And if he doesn't – the rest of the family certainly will!

* offer is available for walk up tickets on the day ONLY.  One dad goes half price (£12.98) with one child (4-15 years old) buying a full priced child's ticket at £20.95.
