How to see the new James Bond film – top tips to get into double-0 heaven for less with a licence to cut the bill

AFTER a long wait, Bond is finally back: No Time To Die opens TONIGHT at cinemas around the country.

Going to the movies can be pricey enough to make Goldfinger think twice.

So try my tips to get in double-0 heaven for less.

SCREEN SAVER: Many devotees will have booked their tickets weeks ago to see the film tonight.

But if you plan to go in the week ahead, save by using Meerkat Movies, converting Nectar or Clubcard points for tickets or checking the “offers” sections on cinema websites.

Sign up for free at odeon.co.uk and look out for the “myODEON Saver” symbol by film times.

Tickets will be cheaper than the average £9.99.

DRIVE IN STYLE: A tie-up between Aston Martin, EON Productions and The Little Car Company brings car enthusiasts the Aston Martin DB5 Junior No Time To Die edition.

But pre-order prices start at a Skyfall-high £90,000!

Instead, head to trackdays.co.uk, which has an Aston Martin DB5 Blast driving experience reduced from £99 to £59 at locations nationwide.

LICENCE TO CHILL: I prefer an espresso martini to Bond’s “Vesper”.

You can make your own by adding a dash of vodka or Tia Maria to a can of Costa’s Smooth Sidekick double espresso, usually £1.75, currently just £1.25 at Sainsbury’s.

SCENT OF A GENT: It is hotly debated whether Bond wears a fragrance. Creator Ian Fleming wore Floris No89 and a 50ml bottle of that will cost you £60.

Instead, pick up the 007 Fragrances at thefragranceshop.co.uk and get £12 off the 007 “Seven” aftershave 50ml spray, making it just £10.

BOND FOR A DAY: This deal is not the cheapest . . . but serious 007 fans will get a lot of back for their buck.

The James Bond Themed Immersive Experience — A Day In The Life includes a guided tour by an espionage expert, a lesson in counter-surveillance, a trip to a shooting range, tours, a sample of Fleming/Bond aftershave, lunch in a 5H London hotel and, of course, a lovely dry martini to sip.

Treat someone you love for £224 at virginexperiencedays.co.uk, £25 less than the usual £249.

PRICES are correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers are subject to availability.
