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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |

Free entry for National Trust members.
On days when the house is open entry to the house is not guaranteed; on busy days we operate timed tickets, which are available for you to select upon arrival. Busy days are usually during school holidays and at weekends. We have over 3000 items in our collection and neither all items nor all rooms are on permanent display; please contact us before travelling if there is something in particular you were hoping to see. Please note the house is 300 yards from the car park and the last entry is half an hour before it closes. In the gardens there is some seating available, but you are welcome to bring along a small fold-up chair or rug. Due to the challenging nature of our location on the edge of an Ice Age valley we are only able to safely welcome assistance dogs; there are other National Trust places nearby to walk safely with your pets. Please bear with us as the garden team continue to work tirelessly to restore the gardens to their pre 2019 glory, it will take 3 - 4 years for this to be fully realised.
