National Trust Membership (Concession): Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access reduced-rate annual membership for heritage sites if you are on a low income or receiving certain benefits.

This scheme provides a way for people with limited financial resources to access various heritage sites at a lower cost through a membership.

Who it's for

This membership is available to people who are on a low income or those who are currently receiving certain benefits. It is designed to help ensure that heritage sites remain accessible to those who might otherwise find the standard costs a barrier.

What you get

You receive a reduced-rate annual membership. This membership allows you to visit various heritage sites managed by the National Trust at a discounted price compared to the standard membership rates.

What it costs you

The main cost is the discounted membership fee itself. To secure this rate, you must be able to provide official proof that you are receiving the specific benefits required to qualify for the concession.

The catch to know

It is important to note that you cannot simply ask for a discount at the gate; you must specifically apply for the 'Essential Companion' or 'Access' scheme to receive these rates. Make sure you are applying for these specific versions of the membership to ensure your eligibility is recognized.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official website to explore the different membership options available.
  2. Look for the specific details regarding concession or access schemes.
  3. Check the requirements for the documentation needed to prove your eligibility.
