This National Lottery Open Week (7–14 March), we’re celebrating the hidden gems of the wonderful places in our care.
As a thank you to National Lottery players, we’re opening our doors and inviting you to uncover the lesser-known stories, spaces, and behind-the-scenes moments that your support helps bring to life.
From secret corners and untold histories to rare opportunities to peek behind the scenes, there’s something for everyone to discover. Whether you’re exploring the wonders of nature or enjoying the beauty of the outdoors, your visit helps care for these special places.
Please note: National Trust properties will not be taking part in National Lottery Open Week on Sunday 15 March (Mother’s Day).
