For full details of the offers please visit our Current Offers page or feel free to pop into one of the outlets selling The Spotlight Book to have a flick through an actual book.
Are there restrictions on offers?
Yes in some cases. In particular, restaurants sometimes cannot afford to give such generous discounts at peak times so can be used Sunday-Thursday only. Many vouchers have no restrictions. It is essential you check each offer's terms and conditions and if necessary phone the establishment to avoid misunderstanding.
Where can I buy The Spotlight Book?
We'd love you to buy from a school, charity or good cause to support them. Please visit our Where to Buy page for a full list of stockists.
Can I use an offer more than once?
Absolutely, but you will need a new voucher each time. If you have found an offer so good you want to use it again and again, stock up on copies of The Spotlight Book and you’ll have vouchers to last you all year! Just check the back as a couple of our businesses have restricted their offer to one voucher per customer. If in any doubt please check with the business concerned.
What if I'm not happy with The Spotlight Book?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Simply return the book to us unused and in a re-saleable condition and we will transfer £10 to your bank account (conditions apply - email sales@thespotlightbook.com for more details).
