Find out how a gift in your will can help us protect and preserve the special places in our care.
- Booking essential
Without gifts in wills, we simply wouldn’t be able to look after the extraordinary places in our care. This special event will take you behind the scenes to see first-hand how your support is helping us carry out crucial conservation work every day, and how a gift in your own will could help to safeguard the future of our special places.
With far-reaching views over the River Deben, Sutton Hoo is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. Enjoy a special tour led by our expert team and gain insight into future projects. This special event will be a chance to visit the 17m viewing tower that opened in 2021 with the property experts, and hear about the Releasing the Sutton Hoo Story Project.
A practising solicitor from the National Trust’s Legacy Administration team will explaining why an up to date will is so important and we’ll share information on the National Trust's free will writing service. Over light refreshments, you’ll have the opportunity to chat further to members of the team and learn more about why gifts in wills are so important to our work.
