Save 18% With National Trust Joint Membership
A Joint Adult membership, available for 2 adults aged 18+ living at the same address, costs around 18% less than memberships bought separately. If you’re wondering about saving as Joint Life members, see ‘Save 20% On Life Membership By Inviting Partner As Guest’ below.
Save With National Trust Family Membership
Family memberships are available for Families with 1 or 2 Adults. Up to 2 adults living at the same address plus all of their children or grandchildren aged 17 or under can gain entry under this one membership. Just remember that under 5s go free anyway.
Save With National Trust Life Membership
Although a larger upfront cost, National Trust Life Membership can offer a good saving if you’re planning on using your membership for many years to come. The break even point arrives faster if you’re taking advantage of your one free accompanying guest with Individual Life Membership.
Save 20% On Life Membership By Inviting Partner As Guest
Whilst two lifetime partners living at the same address can get Joint Life membership with National Trust, you can save around 20% by paying for an Individual Life membership and inviting your partner as a free guest. Just bear in mind that means the Individual Life member will have to be present on each visit.
25% Off With Senior Membership
If you’re aged 60+ and you’ve been a National Trust Individual or Joint member for 5 of the last 10 years, you’re eligible for a 25% discount off Individual or Joint Membership. Those aged 60+ can also get 25% off Life Membership.
Under 5s Go Free
Children aged 4 and below can visit National Trust properties for free. However, anyone aged 0-17 years can get Junior membership which includes a membership card and welcome pack.
Join National Trust For Scotland And Visit National Trust Properties
National Trust For Scotland is cheaper to join that National Trust and since National Trust For Scotland members get free entry to National Trust properties, as well as free parking, this can offer a good saving. Just bear in mind that your membership will only support the upkeep of NTS properties.
Carers or Companions Go Free
Up to 2 Carers or companions can get free entry to National Trust properties. Get an Essential Companion Card to make the entry process quicker and simpler.
50% Off Group Entry With Links Pass
Disability charities, day centres, registered care homes and other caring charitable groups can get Links Pass for 50% Off admission for those within the group who are disabled or of pensionable age. Weekends and bank holidays are excluded. Carers or companions with the group go free.
US Residents Can Join Royal Oak Foundation
If you’re a US Resident planning a visit to the UK, you can become a Royal Oak Foundation member and get unlimited entry to National Trust sites across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Memberships are 100% tax deductible, plus you’ll get discounted admission to partner heritage attractions in London, discounted British magazine subscriptions, a National Trust Handbook, Car Parking Pass and more.
Andrew’s Top Ways To Save on National Trust
First, check the list of National Trust properties to make sure you’re interested in enough to warrant membership. The Pay-As-You-Go option might make more sense for you if you’re an infrequent visitor.
If you want to become a member, check Joint, Family, Senior and Life membership options (detailed above), bearing in mind any concessions and free guests, to see if any of those options make sense for you.
Given National Trust is a charity, you can opt for Gift Aid when you pay if you’re an eligible UK taxpayer. This allows National Trust to reclaim some of the tax paid on your donation, increasing its value at no extra cost to you. High earners can also reduce their tax bill this way.
