Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |

| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |

The Upton House Gardens, the shop and the Pavilion café are open, initially serving a limited range of hot and cold drinks and light snacks. We ask you to please wear a face covering when purchasing your take away items. We're sorry but the house remains closed. We're part of the Government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme. From 3 August you'll be able to get 50 per cent off your bill, up to a maximum of £10 per person on food and drink bought at and consumed at our café (excluding alcoholic drinks). The scheme applies from Monday to Wednesdays only and ends on 31 August. You’ll need to pre-book your visit. Go to What’s on for more information.
