National Lottery Open Week, 7 - 14 March 2026
To say thank you to the Lottery players who have made so much of our conservation work possible, we’re taking part in the National Lottery Open Week. Just present your lottery ticket or scratch card to explore Ickworth Estate for free.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
How the offer works: Enjoy free entry to Ickworth Estate 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 have your National Lottery ticket ready to show to staff at when you arrive. The draw and purchase date on the ticket is not relevant. Both hard copy and digital tickets will be accepted.
Children 5 years of age and younger get in free to all the places in our care as standard.
This offer is valid at many National Trust places from 7 - 15 March 2026 only. Not all places are able to participate, or are only able to take part for a few days of the Open Week. Please check before you travel. At some places, you may be required to pre-book your visit and car parking charges may apply. This promotion may not be valid for ticketed events and is not valid for events where a separate charge applies. Separate tickets should be booked and purchased if you would like to attend during your free visit.
