Education Group Membership

Membership entitles your whole school to free entry to all NT properties when visiting as a school group, for a year. The cost depends on the number of children on your school roll:

Under 50 pupils – £50.00
51-100 pupils – £80.00
101-200 pupils – £95.00
201-500 pupils – £100.00
Over 500 pupils – £120.00
Tertiary field study – £150.00

Membership is much better value than buying one-off entry, which is £14 per adult and £7 per pupil.

The best way to arrange membership is to call the National Trust directly on 0344 800 1895.
