English Heritage deals and ways to save

English Heritage membership discounts

Investing in an English Heritage membership will give you the best value for money when it comes to days out if you plan on visiting three or more sites in a year. This includes iconic landmarks such as Stonehenge and the 1066 Battle of Hastings Abbey.

Membership costs:

  • From £44 per year for young adults and students
  • Joint memberships from £116 per year
  • From £84 per year for adults

Membership includes:

  • Unlimited entry to 400+ historic sites
  • Free entry for up to six children per adult
  • Free parking at most locations
  • Discounted or free events

If you regularly visit castles, abbeys or heritage attractions, an English Heritage membership can quickly pay for itself. Entry to popular sites such as Stonehenge or Dover Castle can cost more during peak periods, so frequent visitors may save significantly with annual access.

Family days out

Families can save on days out, even without an English Heritage voucher code:

  • Kids enter free with a paying member
  • Larger family (more than six children) memberships reduce cost per visit
  • Seasonal promotions, such as ‘kids eat free’ offers in summer

Gift memberships

An English Heritage gift membership is a popular option for birthdays and Christmas, offering the same benefits as a standard membership, but with a flexible start date (up to 12 months after gifting).
