Free entry for National Trust members.

We now accept the Max Card, giving 25% off for foster families and families of children with additional needs.

We accept the Essential Companion card, which makes it simple to bring one or two carers or companions with you, free of charge. Just show the card when you arrive, and your carer(s) or companion(s) won’t need to pay an entry fee.

It’s in your name so you can bring whomever you like, but even if you don’t have an Essential Companion card, you can still bring carers or companions free – the card just makes it quicker and simpler for you.

If you’re not a National Trust member, you will still need to pay for your own entry.
