FREE admission vouchers for the Grand Pier are available in today’s (Thurs) Mercury.

The attraction installed turnstiles last week and started charging visitors a £1 entry fee on Friday.

However the Grand Pier and the Mercury have teamed up to offer readers a one-off chance to visit, without having to pay the new admission price.

The voucher, printed in the paper, entitles free entry for up to four people. No photocopies of the voucher will be accepted by Grand Pier staff.

* For the full story of criticism against the charges from readers and the pier bosses’ reaction, as well as the voucher entitling free entry, see today’s Mercury.
