By the Dealbeaters Travel Team
Summer 2027 holidays are already on sale. If you're tied to school holidays or want a popular hotel, booking at the right moment can save hundreds of pounds. Here's what to know.
Summer 2027 is already on sale
The big UK package companies usually release the next summer's holidays a year or more ahead. Brochure prices at launch are often among the best you'll see for peak weeks.

Peak booking season is January
Lots of UK families book between Boxing Day and February. Demand rises then, so popular hotels and family rooms for July and August can sell out or go up in price.
Lock in an early deal
Free child places go first
Free or reduced child places are limited per hotel and date. If you want one for the school holidays, booking in autumn or early winter gives you the best chance.
