As a thank you to National Lottery players, we're opening our doors and welcoming you to explore the incredible places your support helps to care for. Just present your lottery ticket or scratch card to explore Stowe Gardens for free.
How the offer works: Enjoy free entry to Stowe Gardens with a purchased National Lottery ticket from any National Lottery game.
You will need to bring one National Lottery ticket or scratch card for each adult to gain free entry. Under 18s can accompany ticket holders for free. All National Lottery games, including National Lottery draw-based games, Instant Win Games, and National Lottery scratch cards, purchased in-store and online or via the app, can be used.
Please show your National Lottery ticket to our welcome team at Bell Gate Kiosk. The draw and purchase date on the ticket is not relevant. Both hard copy and digital tickets will be accepted.
