Cost of entry

[Andy Norfolk]

Away near Witney. Thought we'd go to Blenheim palace. Cheapest ticket to enter £41 each!!!! There loss as we went to the Ashmolean in Oxford, £5 on the park and ride for us both. The museum is free with a request for a £10 donation.

We were visiting Lackham /Lacock where there is NT Lacock House. As we came out of the pub we saw the large board with entry prices. I forget what they were but we both thought what a financial hit for a couple with kids. Plus parking too.

That’s very interesting. We were there three weeks ago. The house itself was shut , but small. The Abbey , Grounds and the Talbot Museum plus both cafes were open..

We thought it was pretty cheap by National Trust pricing. £32.50 for two adults and three kids. Parking is included. As Members we enjoy free entry to all sites including Scotland . I do feel uneasy with the NT very Woke attitude. But their properties are well worth the visit and explore.

Try buying a ticket to a premier league football match , day light robbery🙀

Thanks, didn’t realise the parking was included as we use the Red Lion/residents car park. Was the £32.5 just for those entries excluding the house? We have just rejoined Westonbirt as three visits puts us in profit.

Here’s the charges. Note the figure I gave you is for,the winter.It goes up to £55 for the summer, two adults three kids. Parking free for members £5.00for non members.

I think the annual membership fee has increased or will this year.

The cafes are not cheap, in fact rather expensive but what is cheap these days?

I think we worked out a few years ago by joining and then visiting three properties we would break even.

For anyone considering joining the National Trust to avoid the entry fees, note that it's usually cheaper to join the Scottish National Trust and use the reciprocal membership benefits - you don't need to live there to join - even cheaper to join the National Trust for a Commonwealth country, eg New Zealand, but then currency exchange is involved

We have kept our NT Wetlands trust and English heritage membership up for many years. Made massive use of all when we had the caravan. Now not so much but we still will well get our monies worth. But as they are such good causes it does not bother me.

This week we plan to visit Witley court and gardens, Goodrich Castle and possibly Durham Park.
