Resident Advantage Card

Residents of the Borough are encouraged to order a Resident Advantage Card that gives cardholders a range of discounts and offers redeemable within the Borough.

Local businesses* are invited to offer a discount through the card. Businesses interested in offering such a discount should contact us at enquiries@great-yarmouth.gov.uk.

Cardholders can get:

• a third hour completely free for residents who pay to park for two hours in any town centre car park, including Palmer's car park; this free hour runs alongside other available parking incentives
• 10% discount off food and drink at the St George's Theatre Stage Door Café or theatre bar and get special offers on selected shows; this discount cannot be used in conjunction with other offers

The card will give access to any further discounts which may become available under the scheme.

* Great Yarmouth Borough Council has not vetted the businesses participating in the Resident Advantage Card scheme and cannot warrant the quality of the goods and services they provide.

Complete the Resident Advantage Card application form and pay the one-off fee of £3.50 that is solely to cover the costs of production and postage.

We will send your card to you when it is ready, usually within 10 working days. Limited to one card per person.

Please note that once your application has been processed, we are unable to refund unless due to an error by the Council.
