🌳 Free National Trust family pass

Excludes National Trust Scotland and English Heritage sites

Normally £25 to £35

If you go online to the National Trust, you can get a free one-time family pass, which can be used on any day until Friday 18 October. On average, the pass would normally cost £25 to £35 depending on which site you're visiting.

What does the pass cover?

The family pass allows two adults and up to three children, or one adult and up to four children (or couples or individuals) to visit one National Trust site for free in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (Scotland locations and English Heritage sites aren't included). Kids must be 17 or under, though under-fives go free anyway. 

There's nothing to pay for entry, but some car parks charge fees, and this pass doesn't get them for free. One pass per household is permitted.

Some National Trust properties require booking in advance (check beforehand)

You can do this by selecting 'Book a visit' on your chosen property, choosing a member's ticket and entering the code AUTUMN24 when asked for your membership number. By selecting the free member's ticket, you won't need to input any bank details.

You'll need to show your email and pass when you arrive at your National Trust site – if you booked, you'll need to show your booking confirmation, email, and the pass. Mobile coverage may be limited at some National Trust sites, so it's a good idea to download it to your device, or print the email.

There are a few excluded National Trust locations – see 'More info' below for a full site exclusions list.

If you have any queries, you can contact [email protected] for assistance.
