National Trust's Lyme Park, featured in BBC's 1995 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, is just one of the places you can visit for free.
Spring has finally sprung, and there's no better way to make the most of it than with a free National Trust pass. That's right, you've got the opportunity to grab free entry to their historical sites up and down the UK, and DesignMyNight are here to tell you how.
What Is A National Trust Family Day Pass?
The pass grants free entry for up to two adults and three children, or one adult and four children. Depending on where you're visiting, these can cost up to £50.
Do I Need To Have Kids To Use A National Trust Free Family Pass?
No, though it's still limited to a maximum of one or two adults per pass.
Where Do I Get A Free National Trust Pass?
National Trust have teamed up with a number of different newspapers and lifestyle platforms to give away tens of thousands of free passes. These include:
Simply fill in the form online or pick up a newspaper for its standard cost to get your free pass from Reach PLC. Meanwhile, In Your Area are giving away passes on their app.
They're available until 11.59pm on Tuesday 13th May (until Sunday 11th May only for physical papers), or until the passes sell out.
When Can I Use National Trust's Free Pass?
You can visit National Trust properties using your free pass until Sunday 29th June 2025 (excluding 24th to 26th May, and 15th June).
Where Can I Visit Using My Free National Trust Pass?
There are hundreds of National Trust locations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (sorry, Scotland; your National Trust is a different organisation entirely) that will accept your free pass. Check with National Trust's places you can visit with your free pass page for further detail on properties near you.
Will I Need To Book In Advance To Use My Pass?
Some National Trust properties require advance bookings - either as standard or to avoid disappointment - so it's worth checking for the site you want to visit.
To book, select a free member’s ticket from the National Trust website of your chosen property and enter REACHSPRING25 when asked for your membership number. You'll need to present your free National Trust pass and booking confirmation to a member of staff on arrival.
