National Lottery Open Week

Enjoy free entry to Quarry Bank, to say thank you for the £32 million raised for Good Causes every week by National Lottery players

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Enjoy free entry for one adult and up to four children at Quarry Bank. Explore, adventure and experience this special place, perhaps for the first time.

Discover the lesser-known story of the scrapbook made by Marian Allen for Arthur Greg after he was killed during World War 1. Visitors can even get hands on with a replica of the scrapbook. The display will be located in the Mill Manager's Office.

Bring your National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard, or Instant Win Game to enjoy free entry at any participating National Trust property during open hours. Simply present it to a member of staff at reception and make the most of your visit.

If you’re showing a ticket on your phone, please download it before you arrive—signal at our properties can be patchy.

Please note: National Trust properties will not be taking part in National Lottery Open Week on Sunday 15 March (Mother’s Day).

One National Lottery ticket (physical or digital), scratchcard, or Instant Win Game will give access to 1 adult and up to 4 children (under the age of 18)

The presentation of one National Lottery ticket will entitle one player (who must be an adult) and up to 4 children free admission at participating National Trust properties between Saturday 7th March – Saturday 14th March 2026 inclusive.

Adults are those aged 18 or over; children are those aged 5–17 inclusive; under 5s receive free admission.
