The National Trust has announced a new Explorer Pass to give you unlimited entry to its places for up to 14 days – and you can bring the kids.
It's an expensive time of year with many parents looking or ways to save money in the school holidays. Finding things to do with the kids that don’t cost the earth can be tricky. But the National Trust has shared a great money-saving offer for families.
The National Trust’s new Explorer Pass gives you unlimited entry to most of the places it looks after for four, eight, or 14 days, and includes both places in the countryside and on the coast. Prices start from just £44 for a four-day pass for a family with one adult and children (or grandchildren under 18), and they go up to £121 for a 14-day pass for a family with two adults and children (or grandchildren under 18.
Once you’re in, you can try plenty of free events and activities with the National Trust’s Summer of Play, across 186 places in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There’s no need to pre-book, and under 5s are free. The activities are included with standard admission, and are free for members and for guests of National Trust holidays.
From cricket to arts and crafts workshops to den-building and mazes, the kids (and the adults!) are all sure to be spoilt for choice.
Carl Greenman, the National Trust's National Programming and Production Manager said “National Trust houses and gardens have inspired people for centuries and it’s in that same spirit that we’re throwing open the doors and inviting families to have fun at Trust places this summer and let their imaginations run wild.
