Self-led educational visit

Glendurgan Garden is the perfect place for a self-led educational visit. If you would like to plan your visit, please contact us at: glendurgan@nationaltrust.org.uk

Schools can benefit from an Educational Group Membership, which is an annual membership giving free access to the whole school group at National Trust places.

Free familiarisation visits for group leaders

If you're planning a group visit you can request our free Travel Trade Pass and you and a friend or colleague will gain free entry to over 300 of our places throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland for 12 months. There’s nothing quite like seeing or experiencing somewhere for yourself to help you plan a successful visit. To receive your pass, call 0344 800 2329 or email us at NTTravelTrade@capita.co.uk.

Who is eligible for free entry?

Registered tourist board guides (on production of a valid badge), coach drivers and tour leaders escorting groups of 15 or more. National Trust members also receive free entry, so it is at your discretion whether to refund the entrance fee to members if you have included it in your package – this is not refunded by the National Trust.

Members must bring their current membership cards with them to avoid paying the full group rate. If any of your group would like to join the National Trust please direct them to our Membership page or call 0344 800 1895.

Guided tours and introductory talks

Short introductory talks are offered on arrival free of charge.

How to book

We have limited coach parking spaces in the coach park, so it’s essential that all groups are booked in with us in advance of their visit.

To book please contact us on: 01326 252020 or email us at: glendurgan@nationaltrust.org.uk and we'll be happy to discuss available dates.
