We also have hotels in grade-II listed buildings across the UK, such as in London, Edinburgh, Brighton, Leeds and Liverpool."

To qualify for the free night, couples need to register before 30 June at 30thweddinganniversary @travelodge.co.uk. They will need to send proof of being married for 30 years in 2015 before being handed their free night's stay.
